Laid back. Gumbo and I were going to do a romantic Cafe Du Monde this morning, but decided to postpone until tomorrow. Chance to catch up with some work. Around noon, we head out to the Quarter for some lunch and to check out what's going on at the Louisiana Music Company. In contrast to yesterday's rains, today is bright sunshine. Concerts scheduled are:
12PM- Classic Jazz Trio
1PM- Ingrid Lucia
2PM- Matt Perrine
3PM- Tom Aswll book signing Louisiana Rocks
4PM- Mark Stone Band with special guest Margie Perez
5PM- Ensemble Fatien
6PM- Susan Cowsill with special guest Mary Lasseigne
7PM- Preservation Hall Jazz Band
We find the fresh-faced Studs outside LMF. After several attempts (No Monday lunches served at NOLA; pass on Johnny Po' Boy's), we park at the Royal Oyster House for Bloody Mary's, oysters, burgers and po' boys. Drinks at Patty O'Brien's? Great idea, but which Patty O'Brien's is the better- the one on Bourbon or the one on St. Peter's? Inside joke there. Abitas, no Hurricanes today. Very relaxing in the courtyard watching a young couple continuously shooting soft porn videos of themselves at their table, then emailing them to someone. Over to LMF to mill around, perhaps pick up some CDs. Kenny and Kippy (formerly Maureen) are there. Talked with a guy across Decatur in front of the House of Blues who went to Choate, then played football at U. of Colorado. Down here working for Shell.
Out to the River Bend to Dante's Kitchen for dinner with a quick pre-dinner stop at the Budda Belly's for a beer and some Celtics/Cavs. Celts are getting screwed on some calls, but have a slim lead approaching halftime. At Dante's, we toast to another successful Fest. We are informed by our Brazilian waiter that there is only one order of the ribs, so you're getting the lamb. He makes it up to us by serving huge portions. Delicious, but way too much to finish. Even The Big Me couldn't eat it all.
