Kill da Wabbit

( Hashing and NOLA and Drunkery )

Tonight marked my first run (outside of last year’s Red Dress Run) with the NOLA chapter of the Hash House Harriers (a drinking club with a running problem). It was fun.
I went with Mikey (known as Tandy Ass™ in the hasher circles) in what was promising to be a very rainy run through City Park/Lakeview. […]

“Better slip with foot than tongue”

( NOLA and Drunkery and Cycling )

Ah, such true words, Mr. Franklin.
This past Sunday saw Bea, myself, and a group of friends playing croquet in City Park. We decided to throw in a twist or two: what can only be described as a vat of Long Island Iced Teas and two courts that intersected in the middle at a 90° angle.
I […]

The Phoenix Also Rises

( NOLA and English Lit. and Geekery )

So, a couple of new bits of goodness in the Harry Potterverse:
1) I have a press pass to Phoenix Rising: a conference devoted to all things Harry Potter, will fuse the intensity of academic debate with the improvisation of exploratory dialogue, the rhythms of New Orleans with the colors and pageantry of art. The conference […]

St. Patty’s Day Parade.

( NOLA and Drunkery )

Tuxedo - Check.
Coozie - Check.
Chuck’s - Check.
Ok, kids, all that there is left to do is drink and take pictures, and that will commence in 30 minutes.
Have a good Friday, Y’all.
P.S. - Andy, it was good seeing you and all, but next year do you think you could come for the right weekend?

The Mardi Gras, 1 week later.

( Photos and NOLA and Drunkery and Amusing )

Oh, did the St. Anthony Ramblers ever ramble this year. Best yet, I’d say.
Don’t get me wrong, last year was a lot of fun too, but when you aren’t bleeding from both of your hideously scraped palms, the day seems to go by better.
I think my costume finally came around on Sundi or Lundi Gras, […]

Fat Tuesday

( NOLA and Drunkery )

While the rest of the world is at work, we drink!
Happy Mardi Gras, bitches!

Latest acquisitions:
The Monk and the Monkey by Maggie McEleney, 31″x47″
What can I say? I love monkeys. I said ~5 years ago, when I first saw it, that one day it would be mine. Yesterday was that day.
 
Mitch Mitchell’s Drumstick
This is my Christmas gift from my Dad this year - he had a guy in NC […]

Thanks

I’d like to go ahead and that the New Orleans Saints for their 2006-2007 Season.
Sure, It didn’t go as far as we’d have liked it to go, but we went farther than anyone expected.
Thank you, Saints, for giving us our Sunday back. Thank you for giving us something positive to talk about. Thank you […]

9th homegame’s a charm

( Geaux Saints! and Photos and NOLA )

Yesterday, I witnessed my 9th Saints home game this season, and our progression to the NFC Championship Game. Sweet merciful crap.
My condolences to The Pirate Dorgenois on the Eagles’ loss. But c’mon brah, are you really vroken up that your other home team, the Saints, are progressing to the NFC Championship for the first time […]
