2. It was clear enough for the crowd it served.
Blame the lack of clarity on my camera lens.

4. It would've been even cooler if it had said "Draft Bush"
which is, of course, precisely what the Saints did on Saturday. Of course, that Bush is definitely not known for screwing up everything he touches; far from it!

5. Which Bush has the higher approval rating? ; )
One Bush helps knock us down, and another looks to build us back up.

I'm am as excited as a kid on Christmas morning.

12. That would have been a cool double entrendre!
But that news was probably released too late to create a banner in time for the Jazz Fest. Plus, then we wouldn't have known which drafting of which Bush was being cheered by the crowd. :)

9. it was great to hear everyone cheer for the banner
funny though how it was the only banner that only flew once... I think the only Bush fans there were Reggie Bush fans. Finally a Bush the will do some good for NO!

10. We should fly these at all major events
Get the Goodyear blimp to drag it :)
----OK maybe a long shot but it would rock flying over a baseball stadium.

13. Do you know who arranged for it?

15. It only made one fly around the field.
Because of that, we were wondering if it was kind of a guerilla/street art event, not offically sanctioned by the Jazz Fest. I don't even know the companies who did the banner ads or who flew, but how many companies are still doing this in the New Olreans area? This same plane flew banners all day for local businesses. I'd love to know this inspired you to do the same in Houston. I'd even make a small donation to help you fund that action! :hi:
