Oh, those Pool Hall Studs, they are SO good!...

Arrived at the Louis Armstrong Airport about 1:30pm. Mark immediately dials up our transportation connection and, after a quick beer while waiting for the bags to arrive, we are on our way into town with complimentary fried chicken and beer. Nice touch.

Some lunch at Mother's as Johnny Gumbo arrives from the great Northwest, then we head into town, ending up, Surprise!, at Ryan's Pub. I know we kick some serious ass last year, but the Pool Hall Studs have been working out hard, and squeezed out a 4 games to 3 victory. They have been strutting around like peacocks ever since.

Dinner at Emeril's Nola, then saw Jon Cleary piano soloing at the Hotel Monteleone on Royal Street, before heading back for the night.


Celebrity sightings- Shirley MacLaine (close enough) at Emeril's Nola
