Nice, nice. I have to work today, but I get time and half. That means, I get 10.60 an hour instead of 7.60. It's not much, but I'm happy about that.
When is it deemed OK to start drinking? Cos I started drinking at 10:45 am the other week. I don't think that's good :S
I was in New Orleans in May, the year of Katrina. Just a few months before it got wiped out. What an awesome place it was, particularly the charm. The only negative was how dirt poor the place seemed. The downtown area had tall office type buildings, but still had the feel of lack of money. For example, I went out for breakfast and stopped at a place that had a sign in the window, "best breakfast in New Orleans." They didn't have restaurant fixtures inside, the fridge was like one you'd have in your house. It was also one of the oddest places in the USA I've been to. The history and background of the place was French compared to the rest of the USA which is British. I'm talking about how they have Parishes instead of counties, and their laws are French common law instead of British common law. A lot of people there even speak French, still... None of this took away from how super nice the people were. We spent the evenings on Bourbon Street, which was terrific fun. It reminded me of my college days - the air was filled with a mixture of the smell of urine, vomit, and alcohol It felt like spring break or something, as there were a lot of college kids there partying like it was Mardis Gras. Both the food and the music were outstanding, and it was pretty amazing how many people were jammed into the very narrow street, about 4 blocks long (it seemed). I kinda expected the city would have street cleaners to come through and hose down the place in the mornings.

After a while though, it just becomes expensive, cliche, and touristy. Don't get me wrong, I still go there about once every two weeks, but I spent way too much time there the first month I was in New Orleans that it just became stale to me. The Dungeon is cool as hell though. I'm not into the whole gothic scene, but I still admire those bars; they're interestingly laid out if nothing else. The best places around New Orleans are the night clubs and music venues off Bourbon though. Ampersand, the Venue, Circle Bar, Tips, Bulldog, the Blue Nile, etc.; or for jazz you've got places like Snug Harbor and Preservation Hall. I love New Orleans.

I love New Orleans.</div> I tried a bunch of the music clubs on Bourbon street and found one that was quite awesome. They seemed to have the best rock bands, consistently. I don't remember the name, but it was pretty far down the street. They also had these girls in short-shorts talking guys into drinking peppermint schnaps from test tubes. I don't need to describe how they served them to you I love New Orleans, too!
Only nightclub I can go to is "the Chatroom", I only been there twice, it's a teen nightclub, and kinda ghetto LOL.
