I am "home" in the "state" of "Ohio."
Last week I drove 14 hours to Baton Rouge. My man Matt and I hit Bourbon Street in New Orleans in the biggest way. Had some gumbo and crawfish etouffee and split a bottle of red wine, and picked up some hurricanes on the way to the karaoke bar. Hurricanes are nasty-ass. No more, thanks.
Twenty minutes blowing everyone at the karaoke bar away with our mad karaoke skillz (you must remember we have been training hard in Tokyo karaoke boxes for the last four years), and we were ready to hit the town.
We Shanghai-ed two random Japanese kids and took them out for drinks while we waited for the first performance at Preservation Hall, where we arrived around 9 pm for traditional jazz by some traditionally fat old guys. They were awesome.
Afterwards we and our new Japanese friends Seiichi and Hiromi (brother and sister) hit Felix's for a ton of raw oysters. After we said our goodbyes, Matt and I finished off the night at Hustler's Barely Legal strip club which was, naturally, a big waste of time and money. Mostly money. Though this one really pushy stripper had the most fascinating nipples. Never seen them so pink.
The new Pinback album blows me away every time.
