Mike Ragus just had to be the first fan to see New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees on Saturday during his book tour.

So he did what nobody else thought of and got out there early -- so early that he arrived at Brees' first stop in the New Orleans area the day before it started.

Ragus, a Metairie resident, said he arrived at Barnes and Noble on Veterans Boulevard in Metairie at about 4 p.m. Friday, well before anybody else got there.
