Just another weekend in the dirtay south!!

Well we had another eventful time around these parts!! Friday was mostly spent recovering from thursday night, which in effect, led to our staying in!! We wanted to get plenty of sleep for the long day ahead of us!! Saturday was a true nawlins day!! We started off (at 2pm no less) dropping in to a local music store to catch a live performance of one of my favorite local bands. They're called schatzy, and yes they're name is a fitting representation of the band. Their lead singer also plays the accordian(more like jams it, he rocks!!). Anyhoo, there were only like 10 people, and we were all drinkin beer, groovin to the tunes, standin in the middle of a record store. It was awesome!! We then ventured through the quarter and decided it was just tooooo hottttt!(ok, so this is where ill point out that this whole heat thing, yeah im pretty much over it, i mean, its gonna be november, and we're still running the a/c, there's something really wrong wit dat!!!)So we hopped in the car(not literally, id only had 2 beers)to my old stompin grounds(am i allowed to say that since i only lived here before for like 9 months, i mean, what if any are the characterizations of a "stompin ground"?Hmmmm?)Parasols!! A cozy little irish pub famous for its tasty beer and even tastier roast beef poboys!!! (also discovered cheese gravy fries"Im in heaven....")So you know how this goes, 1 beer turned into 2, 2 into 3 and so on until we had spent the better part of our afternoon, and well into the evening in this place. They keep it sooo dark in there all the time that you really have no concept of day or night. Once we finally peeled ourselves off our barstools and bid a fond farewell to our new fave barkeep(joanna=had been working for like 12 hours, and was way passed the early phases of delirium"here's for my beer" "oh, didnt you already pay for that?" "Uh, i dont think so" "Are you sure, cuz, well whatever, just keep your money"YEah, like i said, new fave-free drink given barkeep!!) We made it to another show from a local band mexico 1910(they rock!!), got some country fried steak at 2 am(diet?what diet?)and called it a night!! Sunday was pretty uneventful except for the part where my kamikaze cell phone took a dive into my drink(it totally jumped out of my hand!!!)further proving my theory that me and cell phones, well i just dont think its gonna ever be a smooth ride for the two of us, but, with a little therapy(in the form of dr. phil, of course)i think we can make it through this!!! Anyhoo, if you're someone with whom i owe a return phone call, or you just feel like im neglecting you, blame it on the damn technology,( not my codependence of it), and please call me, because, undoubtedly, ive lost your number(mines still the same!!) Hope all is well!!!
