You have to wonder if people like this are nuts, or if they just want to be left alone.
In the back on one’s mind, ya’ kind of hope he gets away. I mean we’ve all dreamed about it right? C’mon admit it.
Enjoy!

Crawfish Festival - Long Beach
When:
Sunday, August 5, 2007, 1:00 PM 2007
Where:
Rainbow Lagoon
400 Shoreline Village Drive
Long Beach , CA 90802

It’s the annual Crawfish Festival at Rainbow Lagoon, downtown Long Beach!

For over 14 years the Crawfish Festival has become a tradition of thousands of festival goers annually.

Combining the best Cajun, Zydeco, and New Orleans sounds of music, and tons of fresh crawfish prepared Louisiana style and served by authentic Cajun chefs.

There’s a giant food court, children’s area with entertainment, dance floor, 2 stages, and beach bars to create the largest Crawfish Festival outside of Louisiana, right here in Southern California.

The festival opens at noon, but we’ll meetup at 1:00 to avoid the crowd at the opening gate.

If you go to the website you can email yourself a discount coupon, or purchase the crawfish feast and admission at a discounted rate.

Come on out and experience Nawlins right here in Long Beach.
