Brass Band Bowl: Super Bowl Sunday at Fort Defiance

BRASS BAND BOWL We spent last weekend in New Orleans eating oysters fried, raw and every other which way; and watching parades magically materialize around brass bands in the street at all times of the day. (Check the Drum Corps filled with eleven and twelve-year-olds that marched by our room early Saturday afternoon.)

No matter how little we pay attention to sports and the Super Bowl most of the time, we can't pull ourselves away this year. Folks from New Orleans, who've never seen their team make it this far, are going bananas, and the spirit has extended all the way up to these parts. Your best bet to be in the thick of it without getting on a flight to The Big Easy is to go down to Fort Defiance in Red Hook, where they're rolling in TVs, serving up the best Hurricanes, Jello shots and Muffulettas for 1,300 miles, and, best of all, cranking up those Saints tribute songs. Who Dat say dey don't care 'bout football?
