18-1

Wow. A guy I used to play soccer with as a kid just won the MVP in the Superbowl.
For the record, I have a gripe with calling the Giants (or any team that wins the Superbowl) “World Champions”. There are no teams outside the U.S. in the NFL!

Cordial Invite to Ramble

( Music and NOLA )

You are cordially invited to join the St. Anthony Ramblers on Mardi Gras Day, the Fifth of February, 2008. Should you grace us with your presence as we walk the streets of the Neighborhoods Treme, French Quarter, and Faubourg Marigny, we shall revel together and spread much merriment with the music of Panorama Brass Band.

 

The Incomparable Mr. Maedgen

( the telly and Music and NOLA )

Well, it’s safe to say that last night, I had by far the safest house in the Treme / 1st District. I had about 8 on-duty cops in my living room, watching the LSU game.
Clint came by my house this morning because I had recorded his performance onto my computer. I gave him a nice, […]

Jose, can you see?

( the telly and Music and NOLA )

Tonight, my good friend Clint Maedgen of Liquidrone, The New Orleans Bingo! Show, and guest singer for the Preservation Hall Jazz Band (for three years now) will be singing the National Anthem for the BCS Championship game tonight with the aforementioned jazz band.
The game will air at 6:30PM Central time on FOX - so please […]

Knock, Knock. Who’s There?

( Photos and NOLA )

One thing I picked up in NC (besides yer moms (sorry, had to)) that I do really like was this:

There is no doorbell here, and I was thinking that next hardware store trip, I’d pick up one of them fancy wireless doorbells. I wasn’t too keen on it, but I’m much happier with this. It […]

First Post of the Rest of the Year

Heeeellooooooo, 2008. I of course wanted to put this up yesterday, never got around to it.
Where do I start? Howsabout a rough outline of some major-ish events since my last post (that should be individual posts themselves):

Reffed the first Jackson MS / Biloxi MS derby bout
Retired from rollerderby refereedom. Am now known as Don’t Panic […]

Our Hero is Aging

( Photos and NOLA )

There is grey in my beard. Not a whole lot mind you, but it is there. There is also (according to Bea) some on the back of my head, on the left side. I can’t see it, therefore it must not be there.
Yep, I’m getting old. If the grey wasn’t enough evidence, I present unto […]

A new couch for that ass

( Photos and NOLA )

My last couch was given to me in the late 90’s by a friend of mine, and I recently donated it to another friend.
I’d been talking lately about getting a new couch, but I know it probably wouldn’t happen unless I got rid of the then current one. Well, it got picked up mid last […]

Monday Morning Thanks

( Geaux Saints! and Music and NOLA )

Two things to be thankful for this morning:
1) The Saint’s long-awaited 180 game last night.
2) The new Happy Talk Band album.
There was a point last night, where I stood up and yelled to the maybe 20 people in Vaughan’s last night, “Remember who isn’t here tonight when we go to the playoffs this year!”
Who dat.

So Long 8th Ward, Hello 6th!

( NOLA )

I’ve moved. For the most part - I still have some cleaning to look forward to and a coupla bikes left, but for all intents and purposes, I’ve moved.
Goodbye Marigny, it’s been fun. Howdy Treme, I look forward to getting to know you better.
So, in celebration of a new house, I would like to present […]
