Tix in the mail!
Hell yeah!
We don't have next-day mail service in NOLA yet, so I was a bit concerned that several of my Fess tickets were sent to Ian's End in Leesville. My quick-thinking Mom knew they were important and sent them on as quickly as the USPS could muster. The package was crammed in my box when I left for work.
Garage A Medeski... here we come!
Picked up the Brass Pass at Whole Foods along with a couple pounds of 16ct. gulf shrimp and a couple pints of beautiful Louisiana strawberries. A couple of my best buds ever arrived last night from Austin, we hit up DBA for a moment. The Wolfman was on, and there were many, many friends in attendance. Jason was about to pass out, so we left early, which was a good thing. Galactic at Tips tonight, Fess tomorrow. I'm at the bottom of the breakneck upswing, and I'm strapped in and ready.
You know its a bad motha....
Uh.
Shut yo mouth.
Aw.
I'm just talking about Fess.
Aw. Say what?
Naw man, I'm just talkin bout the
New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival.Uh. That's right.
Two days, eleven hours away.
Wmh! wha wha whaa wha.
That last part is to be read like a trombone hit.
n.o. l e v i t y is conceived on April 22nd, 2006,
Earth Day, the second day of
French Quarter Fest, an historic Election Day in New Orleans, and the sixth anniversary of the pre-dawn raid in which federal agents liberated Elian Gonzalez from his relatives Miami home.
Searching dates on
wikipedia is fun, but it ain't what this blog's about. This blog is about New Orleans and the kind of fun I like to have down here. Look for drunken post-club ramblings, culinary reviews, critiques and other random observations. This blog will tend more to professional entertainment journalism than
my other collection of online oddness.
