SO LONG TWO THOUSAND AND HATE
2008 was a fucking rough year, man, but fuck it, 2009 is going to be sweet! Fuck a recap, I don't want to think about most of that shit except for moving to New Orleans. Where I was joined for a few days by some of my crucial dudes. James, Jacob Cunningham, Jason, Alex, Sean. Lambert was also in from California! Sensors on bro-verload! Initiate lightspeed!
Dudes were here for a few days, which included:
- Meeting Dulli at R Bar
- Pool and Sandwiches at the Buddha Belly
- Badass fried plantains with spinach and Coconut Rice at Bennachin
- Walking around in the ruin of the Lower Ninth
- Fireworks on the streetcar tracks
- "Instigating" the douchebags on Bourbon Street
- Fireworks over the Old Man with Carin and Rico
- Dancing to DJ Soul Sister at Mimi's with Jill and Adele and Zak
- Calling some drunken couple in their 40's-50's "Clown-ass wannabe James Bond" and "Clown-ass wannabe James Bond's Girlfriend"
- Red beans and rice at 13
- Reggae at Cafe Negril
- Chilling with Denzel talking about hard teachers
- Nursing a high-life watching the High Rollers at the Spotted Cat
- Long, long talks sitting on the rocks of the Mississippi
- Bennachin again- black-eyed pea fritter with tomato stew on a po-boy
- Dauphine Street books, and a good find
- Porching, long talks
My dudes chilling on the stoop. Ell to Arr, James, Jason, Alex, Jacob, Sean
