Also those books on the mantel above the fireplace! are stash boxes. Crazy what things catch you by surprise.
So we've been listening to to a lot of music in the car and I really think someone needs to come up with an app that let's you create playlists from both YouTube and your iPod so that you can switch songs seamlessly. I've seen web app before that takes the audio from YouTube videos to make power hour mixes, so I think it's def possible. So yeah if you're good with that kind of thing get on it haha.
Also just saw that Wale is heading to ATL right as we're leaving, guess we'll have to meet up some other time. Just crossed out first time zone btw! That's all for now.
Sorry about not posting last night, partied pretty hard and then I drove the morning shift. So anyway New Orleans was pretty sick. We stayed at Anne's house, who is friends with my mom. It was the first night we didn't have greens waiting for us when we arrived which kinda sucked but whatever. It's hard to see in the picture but there was some sketch white powder chilling on the mirrored table. So maybe Anne and her partner Dan get down like that instead haha.
So anyway we went out to dinner at Crazy Johnnies, which was pretty good. Got to experience southern hospitality first hand when the people sitting next to us gave us their bottle of wine just because they didn't like it. Everything is just a little slower down there it seems. After dinner Anne called Jon and me a cab and we hit the French Quarter.
For a random Tuesday in November it was pretty wild I can only imagine how crazy it gets for Mardi Gras. This was our first night "sightseeing" so we were ready to ball out, and then I saw this:
It's all tequila and top center they had Patron Gran Anejo. It was the only time I had ever seen it and was ready to drop some money but $90 a shot was just a bit too steep, so we took a shot of this other stuff which was still pretty damn good. After that we decided to sample some local specialties. The hand grenade was definitely better than the hurricane but both of them were just so sweet, which is why I think I'm hurting today.
There's also no open container law there so we were able to just walk up and down Bourbon St. After getting all these drinks in our system we started to act a little stupid. Ended up buying a mixtape from this guy, he was from Hollygrove and had some chill stories, haven't had a chance to listen to it though. Anne had warned us only to take a certain type of taxi, but before I knew it we were in this shady taxi and were splitting it with this girl. After the girl got dropped off the cabbie tried to hustle us but I was able to negotiate a price and have him turn the meter off. So yeah if you're from Jersey don't be too worried when traveling, those instincts let you see right through the bullshit. We got back around 3 and I was out before my head hit the pillow.
That's all for now, staying in Texas tonight.
Location:New Orleans, LA
