Sign up now with your 2 or 3-person team (or just sign up now and draft someone on game day) to compete in this Ernest Hemingway-themed contest of nerves. Teams will perform 2-minute micro-skits (no memorization required,as there will be closely-guarded scripts provided at the event) of infamous Hemingway scenes. A panel of judges, and the audience, will decide who advances to sweet sweet victory.  So unleash your inner Hemingway and enter now!  There will also roll the party directly into a live screening on multiple screens of the 2010 FIFA World Cup Final Match in South Africa!

In honor of Bastille Day, New Orleans will join cities around the world in hosting a waiters race, a tradition started in Paris in the early 20th century to recognize the waitstaff profession. Coined "VIVE LA FRANCE, VIVE LA SEAFOOD!" the race serves as a celebration of the New Orleans local restaurant andseafood industries. The public is encouraged to attend and cheer on waiters as they make their way down Decatur Street from St. Ann Street to Ursulines Street.  The race begins at 4 p.m. on Decatur Street at St.  Ann (near Café du Monde).  Waiters will register at Washington Artillery Park across from Jackson Square, where they will be fitted with an apron, napkin, waiters tray, and plastic wine glasses filled with water. Waiters will need to adhere to strict rules as they carry their tray in a straight shot down Decatur Street to Ursulines, just past the Joan of Arc statue, where the race ends...You don't want to miss this one!!
