Cool stuff from Shoal Creek Saloon - Saints bar in Austin

Most of you guys have heard about Shoal Creek, the bar in Austin where a surprisingly large group of Saints fans watches the game. There are probably 100-150 of us on any given Sunday. The bar is dedicated to the Saints.

Anyway, two Sundays ago, after the Bucs game, out of nowhere, a brass band came from around the corner, onto the back patio, where we all sit, and started playing a bunch of Louisiana favorites. This was right after the win, so obviously "When the Saints go Marching in" was the biggest hit.

Then they went inside, to the large bar area where they put on small (100-200 ppl) shows from time to time, and played about 5-6 songs for a half hour or so, for free, for all of the Saints fans.

Turns out all of them were from New Orleans and had to leave when the storm hit.

Talk about random. It was really cool. Here are some pics:
