We're doing Christmas with Dr. John in New Orleans

[alwynsw]

Well, actually we'll be seeing him at the House of Blues in the Quarter on the 27th. But it makes a fine excuse to spend a few days roaming the Quarter and eating beignets at Cafe duMonde. I can't wait for my usual breakfast of eggs Shannon at Brennan's.

I also plan to leave a little offering for ______ at Marie Leveaux's grave.

What are you doing for the holidays?

1. I don't know yet

but I love Dr. John...he's a long time acquaintance, and one of his booking agents is like a little brother to me..... his music is awesome....I KNOW you will have a good time :D

2. Sounds great

Ask him to bring along Rikki Lee Jones, and I might crash the party!

3. Brennan's blows. Man, what a tourist trap. >

OTOH, I envy you if you can stay up late enough for DJ.

We stood in Tipitina's until 1:30 one morning waiting. Gave up -- still missed him by half an hour.

4. I've been doing Brennan's since the 60's

Heck, the whole Quarter's a tourist trap - a brutally exhausting tourist trap. I think that's why I love to visit it every chance I get.

That - and the walkaway cocktail joints with the 44 ounce margaritas...

6. Amen to that -- ditto, actually. It's weirdly liberating >

to walk around with wicked strong bloody marys in your hand...

"The wife" and I just spent our 12th anniversary in the quarter -- including Sunday brunch at Brennan's. We just made sure to be buzzed before we got there...

5. Sounds like "you're in the Right Place"

and the right time........

I really enjoyed The Band movie(The Last Waltz?) that had Dr. John and many others in it.

Have fun...sounds great!!!!

7. Have a hurricane for me!

Love New Orleans...spent my honeymoon there about a million years ago!

8. Audbon Zoo!!! I loved it.

Is Tipitina's still alive?

Get some crawfish etouffe and fish courtbouillon if you can.

Watch out for the Hurricanes and leave a red cross and a candle at Marie Laveaux's tomb for me and mine. Thanks.

9. Will do!

I always leave cigars. The last time I did it, my business was at a critical juncture.

We went public a short while later. I'm now retired!

10. I was just in Nawlins a couple weekends ago

My best girl friends and I went for our friend's bachelorette party. we had a blast as always! I got the biggest beads of the bunch! he he he ;-)

I loooooove Nawlins... we gals have been going once or twice a year for the past 3 years. If the times I'll never forget were half as fun as the times I can't remember, well I've had some DAMN good times!!!
