<p>Drew Brees (New Orleans Saints QB) in costume (as King Bacchus) throwing beads to the crowds.
</p><p>..lemme tell you, catching beads ain’t a walk in the park.. we saw a sobbing young girl holding a bloody hanky over her mouth, i guess she was hit by those flying beads.. i managed to catch a few beads too, not intentionally but just to shield the front element of my lens from being smashed by those beads, and boy were they heavy..
