Pics from SRLC 2010 in NOLA!

[Matt Collins]

Everyone who attended, feel free to post your pics in this thread. It's a weekend I'll NEVER forget, that's for sure!

Thanks to everyone who donated for my trip, it was a success. But more on that later

With TorchBearer's sister:

With the crazy DJ Loti and Josh M owner of RPF:

The Honorable Rich Hamblen and TochBearer's sister (again):

Having dinner with NewBiTech:

Torch, Josh, Natalie, and The Collins:

I am actually shaking Torch's hand here, but Josh's beer obscured the shot. Did it really happen? We'll never know!

The wild DJ Loti again:

Natalie and I again (looks like a Tanqueray pose ha ha)

Someone went around the event putting these posters up all over the place

She makes and sells t-shirts (including the one she is wearing):

She was a photographer:

Leah of LOLA on the right and her friend from AL on the left:

As usual, I actually had people walk up to me and say "WOAH! It's Matt Collins in person!!" ha ha ha.

Some people did that to me on the street, and passers-by actually turned and looked as if I was some famous. We were in the elevator and some high school girls and their mother saw me and said "are you someone famous?" I couldn't stop laughing before they got off the elevator. They seriously said they wanted my picture. Sorry I wasn't smiling in more of them but I was exhausted, even though I was having a great time.

All in all it was a great trip and I encourage all of you to go to whatever event that Ron Paul, the CFL, or LOLA hosts. Trust me it's worth it due to the friendships that are made at these excursions.

My favorite was walking down a busy street with a group of five RPFers when we see The Collins in the middle of a crowd on the opposite side of an intersection who are waiting to cross.

Our group goes wild when both crowds meet the middle of the intersection, even though we just had drinks with him not 20 minutes ago. The unrelated crowd that Collins was walking beside all of the sudden thinks they have a celebrity in their mist and wonder just who the hell is this guy and why is everyone so excited to see him in person and just dieing to shake his hand.

The short day Natalie and I were there was a blast, can't wait to see you all again.

Your sister is awesome man. I was chatting with her and asked her if she was there just because you brought her, or if she was really a RP supporter. She smiled a lot and said she loved Ron Paul

She's the real deal, and is such a friendly person to chat with. That's sooooo awesome!
