memo to moms who put ear protectors on the littles for parades:
1. they're going to play their music on in the airpods at 15. (hopefully it's perimenopausal Chappel Roan at that point.)
2. good hearing or no, they're still not gonna listen to you. 🍷

side note from after the tour this morning: Like a lot of folks, I made a few caricatures using Cat, I Fart, recently. While it's fun, it's not the same as sitting a friend down with a humanoid artist in the Square and buying them a sketch they can bring home as a NOLA memento.
