...And an Addendum

The Bunny and I are leaving for New Orleans this weekend. We are going to see one of our favorite bands of all time in the French Quarter: ...And you will know us by the trail of dead, or Trail of Dead for short. We're eating brunch at the Court of Two Sisters, dinner at the Acme Oyster House, and drinking a few places in between. I got a hot tip on a paper/pen store from a school friend, so I'm certainly hitting that up.

Last time I was in New Orleans was for the Tennessee Williams Festival in the Spring of 2007. I met John Waters at the conference, who was there signing the Tennessee Williams memoirs, in which he did the introduction. My friend Ashly did a popping booty dance on Bourbon Street that gave us access to free drinks and some terrible nightclub that needed to pay me to stay. We ate ice cream on a balcony at 1:00 am, and I did my famous leprechaun kick in the middle of Jackson Square.





In the meantime, my dear sister is house sitting for us. Not only do I trust her to take care of my babies and keep the house secured, Sebastian seems to prefer her over me. I guess she is the nicer half of our DNA. Still, if anyone is into spying, feel free to drive by here late Saturday night and see if there aren't some shenanigans occurring in my living room.

When we bought the concert tickets, we didn't realize it was Mardi Gras weekend. Wish us luck.

I have to admit, when I first saw the picture of you & JW, I felt a white-hot rush of jealous anger envelope me. But you know what? Now I'm just happy for you.

Love y'all! Have a great time!
