Sweating more then a whore in church: August!

My very first virgin trip to New Orleans was in August! The swampy, thick, wet heat at that time of year is to behold. Lots of folks would hate it, me, I ***ing love it!

Anyhow, I show up at the Hotel Chateau Lemoyne, right off Dauphine Street where my super awesome fancy friend was waiting for me. As I got out of the cab, I lit up a cigarette and stood out side the lobby door having a smoke and watching myself dehydrate. The doorman came up to me and asked: “Are you from San Francisco?” I replied: “Yes, why?” To that he said: “Because you’re smoking outside! Come on in, you can smoke anywhere in New Orleans you please!” Well boy howdy, welcome to the South!

The not so cool south

Not so frecken funny folks

On a trip to visit Laura Plantation I was treated to a very ugle joke, that not even I could find punk rock enough to look the otherway. This noose was hanging on the side a building that the tourist don't really see at the Laura Plantation. Check out the full story ...

Rent a boat with Capt Nick and cruise the swamps

We rented Capt Nick to take us out in his boat for a little catch and relase of snakes and other creepy crawlies that don't like this game much. This guy is a no non-sence know's his stuff, fun loven good guy. http://www.captnicks.com/

Pros and Cons

Pros:My hair always looks great in New Orleans!

Cops will break up large crowd if they are watching flashing, but ignore small crowds with short incidents. It is most likely the state of drunkeness and size of crowd that got the guy arrested, and no one wants to see GUYS flash anything especially cops.
