It's really wild that we got away with hosting this event. Image: Chelsea Brasted/Axios
If you didn't make it to our Urban South happy hour on Tuesday, then you really missed a great event.
Dreams were lived out. Kids were scared. Selfies were snapped.
Why it matters: We had a blast hosting Axios New Orleans readers, snapping selfies and debating whether King Cake Baby is cute or creepy.
Consensus: both.

It'd be hardto pick the readers who seemed most excited to join us.
Was it Steve, who told me that meeting King Cake Baby was an actual bucket-list item?
Or was it Jessi and Dan, who brought a framed photo, in which they are captured nine years ago smiling on their wedding day ... with King Cake Baby?
It also happened to be my one-year work anniversary at Axios.
Thanks for celebrating with me!
As reader Jacob said on his way out the door, it was the stuff of dreams and nightmares.
