This past weekend was probably the most fun I've had since moving to New Orleans! I dressed up as an abortion doctor.. haha. I got slapped in the face by some chick @ the House of Blues! I had 8+ YagerBombs and a few beers throughout the night! I was so wasted... but still served it …

I remember about a year after hurricane Katrina, some random talking head on CNN stated that it was his impression that New Orleans was a trashball of a city to begin with, so any attempts at rebuilding it should be met with a scoff, as it was better to wipe it off the map and start anew.  Aft…

I cant really say much about this trip except I am not going to Mardi Gras ever again. I had a great time, but I think that was enough for me. When we got there on Friday and went out, I hated it. It was too dirty, too messy, too loud, and wayyyyy tooo crowded. But on Saturday, we started playing…

I took a quick trip to New Orleans earlier this year,was supposed to meet up with some TB's,but had to leave earlier than expected.

     We had an early but uneventful flight to New Orleans but not before I got into a "discussion" with the airport guy checking my luggage because it was 19 pounds overlimit. I couldn't seem to get him to understand that I needed everything that I packed or I wouldn't have…

It was my first time going to New Orleans. My sister and I went for Jazz Fest. The city is awesome. The people are nice and the city has a great vibe. I want to go back every year if I can. If you love music it is a must to go here. The food was very good. You have to try some crawdads. Also I recomend getting away from all the tourist areas and try some hole in the walk local spots. Some have the best food and you meet some very interesting people.

My boss picked me up from the airport. It was Sunday morning... He was having a bbq at home with family, so we made a quick stop at the supermarket to get some groceries and then drove back to his house. I'd stay with his family. Super!His wife was happy to see me and was showing me the house. What…

The spirit of New Orleans is alive.  While I spent my time in the French Quarter I spoke to others about the city.  There is a tremendous spirit about the city.  From the taxi driver to the shop owner they see New Orleans as on the rebound.  The food is as wonderful as ever.…

The concert was awesome! So much energy! My seat was in row 4 from the stage! I bought a $1400 Nikon camera just days before the concert thinking that I'd be able to somehow sneak it in. I did, quite ingeniously, but later got caught while snapping some photos of Angus Young. So I put the camera aw…

Been in Nawlins for more than week now and i have the opportunity to work on a movie set as an extra a week later wow thats amazing.

4 days in New Orleans, USA!

The ride is 24$... 34$ if you decide to get lunch.  Word of advice: DO NOT EAT LUNCH HERE.  It's dry and cheap... it's alright, I guess.  Kinda like eating at the Old Country Buffet: generic food kept hot under lamps for too long.  Rachael said the dessert was good.  The st…

Medical Mission to Haiti. (The poorest country in the western hemisphere.) We provided basic medical help, plus dental, pediatric and OB/GYN services. We were also able to perform simple surgeries, mainly consisting of cyst and growth removals. We saw about 200 people a day.

There is nothing really exciting to report about the convention day of my trip.  For lunch, we ate at the Palace Cafe.  We ate upstairs, which is a lovely walk up a spiral staircase.  I had a seafood gumbo and a blue cheese salad.  It was a dreary day of heavy wind and rain, so …

Hurricane Gustav had just come through here and now we had to deal with another major hurricane ~ Ike! Our electricity had only been back on for two days after Gustav knocked it out and now it was out again! We evacuated again, but this time to my Mom's house. It was about 4AM when I was awaken by …
