Prep for New Orleans

It’s time to party in New Orleans. We leave in a few hours to drive over and join the Pardi Gras folks. We have a full four days of fun in store. But we also have had some fun at home this week before we left. Monday was spent putting the finishing touches on our Crab Island Mambo Mullet Wrapper newsletter. It was our biggest and best effort yet. You can read it here: http://www.crabislandmambo.com/Mullet-Wrapper-January-2013.html

Parrots on the "head"

Tuesday we headed over to Johnny O’s for some dinner. They have good beer specials including 25 oz’s of Sam Adams for only $5.50. A great deal. While we were eating, Sunshine Cindy thought she recognized a friend from Alabama walking in. He sat at the bar and sure enough, it was Keith. He was in town on business and stopped in for some dinner. We joined him at the bar and had a fun time talking and catching up. We will see Keith and his wife Leigh this weekend in New Orleans too so we had a lot to talk about.

Wednesday I took off from work to prep for the trip. In the evening I went to KC’s Sandbar. Jan was supposed to play but it was raining and there was only a couple people there. Wayne came out and joined me and I got the lowdown on his trip to Belize. He had a blast as I expected.

We decided to go to Anglers so we could be inside out of the weather. There were only a few folks in there. Nate was working. I have not seen him in a while. It took about an hour but the place totally cleared out so we could say we closed down the bar!!! LOL  From there I headed home to get a good night’s sleep and be ready for the drive to N.O.

Late Monday I will have a full wrap up of our trip to the Big Easy!!! See you then….
