Dad wasn't feeling so hot so he and mom stayed home one night to watch Reagan so Julie and I could go out. There isn't a whole lot to do in Diamondhead (about an hour from New Orleans and half an hour from Gulfport/Biloxi) but they told us about a cool roadhouse in Kiln, where Bret Favre grew up. It's called the Broke Spoke and boy does it have character! Derek was the bartender and he is the cousin of Favre's wife. The bar was decorated for the Packers the first 16 years of his career but last year they became Jets fans and now they all pull for the Vikings. However, the Packers decor is still everywhere and there is one big Vikings flag hanging below one of the tvs. I guess it would be a pain to change everything completely; what if Favre goes back to the Packers for his final year???
This was one cool place and Derek was a great guy; he gave us all the inside scoop on the whole Favre saga. We wish we could have stayed to watch the Monday night game but we had to be in New Orleans to meet with my clients that night. I'm shooting the Specialty Graphic and Imaging Association's annual expo for the 5th straight year. Since we have to be in New Orleans the rest of the week Mom and Dad insisted on keeping Reagan for a few days so Julie and I could have some alone time and go out on the town after my work day is finished.
Anyway, here is a look at the "Broke Spoke."
