04. Pardi Gras
Thursday, January 17th, 2019
Here it is - the reason I'm in New Orleans - Pardi Gras! Pardi Gras is a 4 day long trop rock music festival set among a variety of bars (and streets) in New Orleans. I've never been before, but have heard great things about this event, so I'm glad I finally get to make it.
And the day is off with a.....really slow start. Back to bed. Seriously, not much happening until 6pm, better conserve my energy or better yet....naaaaaaaaaaaaap.
I might actually be turning into a cat.
I got up long enough to get a Po Boy from Mike Serio's Po Boys, which was on my "want to try list" since I found out they beat Bobby Flay in a contest with muffelettas (I'll go back for a muffeletta, I was just in a Po Boy mood). It was great - would definitely recommend!
And more lounging around in the afternoon. Seriously, I'm probably sprouting a tail and claws and turning into one of my cats. It's okay though, there's a lot going tomorrow, so maybe tomorrow will be a more productive day.
I got registered for the event and headed over to Tropical Isle for little pre-dinner music.
Carrying on my cat-like day, after a little bit of expending energy it's time to....eat again. I took a little break from the parrothead scene to meet up with a college buddy, Tony, who is now a doctor in New Orleans. It was great catching up and we went to Sylvain for dinner and drinks. After that we headed back to Johnny White's Hole in the Wall again for a few more beers. I'm not sure it's going to be good if that place has a magnetic pull at the end of each night. And just like a cat, time to settle down for a nice nap.....
