okay, it's been like a week since i've gotten back from new orleans so i should probably go ahead and post something in order to remain present and also just say thanks for putting up with all my trash talking while i was there. so uhhh... thanks to glitch13 and girlygirl and spiderwoman and feastie and pusher and all sorts of other people i spent time with and met but who don't have funny little aliases that i can think of right now. oh, and ed. i had a really swell time and you all helped it happen in varying degrees and so you're all invited up here for a barbecue next weekend.
now onto other topics, somewhat related.
even though i spent the last night before the trip frantically trying to throw a video together to show people back home, i managed to forget to bring my damned camcorder with me. and also forgot to bring a camera. and also never thought to buy a disposable one while i was there. however, my dad let me use his digital and occasionally i'd remember the fact and so he's in the process of e-mailing what little was taken to me. enough with the words, here's what we've got so far.
here's a pic taken of the spread when we had berled crabs over at my aunt jo's place. i know none of y'all down there really are astounded by this sight because you've all seen it occasionally. this is more for the benefit of mister fix and miss a. and also for their benefit i'll add this commentary: yes miss a, they were very good. and yes mister fix, looking at this picture helps me understand why you don't like seafood.
now, here's one that i'm sure will be of interest to just about every single one of you. this is the home of none other than fats domino out in tha nint'. in case you think i'm making this up, just check the picture again. it clearly shows FD on the front of the house. i'd have gotten a better pic but i didn't want that security guy sitting on the porch to make a call that would have resulted in me and my dad getting shot up. so that's all you get. i think it's cool that fats kept living in his neighborhood even after he made his money unlike some modern musical types hailing from the 504. granted, he had to implement a few changes around the house (i can't think of how many cameras i saw hanging on the outside of that place) in the name of security, but he stayed there and i just think that's kind of cool.
okay, that's it for pics right now and probably most of your attention spans as well, so i'll wrap this up. while i was flying i read Catch 22. Everyone needs to read that book. especially all y'all saying you like fight club so much. it's not really the same thing as fight club, but it somehow relates with that nihilistic view of things and is just generally really good. so that means read it now.
also, found this link tonight and figured since people seem to be linking to band sites lately i'd continue the trend and offer one up as well. and that concludes this overdue news update.
