After an awesome late lunch at The Delachaise, J & I headed out late yesterday afternoon to meet friends in the French Quarter. The French Quarter was filled with Halloween revelers and Madonna concert-goers. The Quarter was certainly buzzing!
First stop- Swizzle Stix bar at the Loew’s Hotel
Swizzle Stix is one of my favorite bars in the city. We even ran into comedienne Wanda Sykes who is in town for a show today.

Second stop- World Famous Bourbon Street
We ran into cousin Laurie and many friends from Thibodaux. It was great to see and catch up with “old” faces and friends. Gotta love those Thibodaux peeps!
Third stop- Bar R’Evolution
We ran into more good friends at the bar. Cheers to Tommy, Michelle, Beau, & Michelle!

Fifth stop- Jimanji
I had never been to this Chartres Street watering hole, but it was a good place to catch up with friends.

Sixth stop-Oz
Believe it or not, this is the same place J & I met in 1998. We waited for an out of town friend for a while but never ran into him. Oh well, we tried. But we did run into several other characters.

Last stop- The Polo Lounge at Windsor Court
This swanky lounge is the perfect way to wrap up a perfect night. We listened to some jazz.

Finally, we jumped into a taxi and were home safely. I am feeling the “fun” this morning. Why, oh why can I not sleep? Sorry for some blurry pics as I was using my iPhone.
French Quarter fun, y’all!
WOW! What a fun day. As many Thib. peeps in N.O. as in Thib.
ReplyDeleteThanks for saying who W. S. is.
Beau also looked overserved. Gotta love him.

ReplyDeleteI flip a coin for where the best Halloween fun is...
ReplyDeleteNew York or New Orleans
Seems like you had yourself a halloween weekend pub crawl! Thanks for letting us in on it :)
Ron - Looks like a fun evening. Glad you had Sunday to get over it before going back to school on Monday. Btw, do your students know about your blog? Could be dangerous!
