shoulda unleashed the katana

Wait til you see Booger’s moves-he’s practicing right now down at the Tri-Lambs house!

“she is very pretty” – guess who?

I only got about 20 seconds in and almost got fired for laughing so hard at Birdie freaking the fuck out on her bed!! There’s no possible way I can finish this here. Birdie 4ever!!

I went back to NOLA this weekend for the French Quarter Fest and took some friends that have never been…I moved there post-Katrina but left after a couple years. It was so amazing to see a show that sums up so much of what New Orleanians felt, and continues to feel, about the state of their city. It was really great to watch this show with them (at the Country Club, a bar with a pool (?) clothing optional (?!?!!)) Seriously, monsters, GO TO THIS BAR NOW.

I totally agree, southernbitch, that watching this show took me back to Dec. 2005 and the entire bar was feeling that too. Raucous laughter, some real somber moments, a lot of anger…As far as the references go, it was crazy to head to the lower 9th and show my friends all the Brad Pitt homes, and explain that some people don’t want that down there, some people are really excited by the green architecture, how disaster tourism is a real uncomfortable feeling, how some want the land to revert to wetlands, while others want the WHOLE city to return to July 2005. And John Goodman summed up a lotta those feelings a day later on the show…

Another local reference-we walked by Hubig’s Pies on Royal, and I told my friends all about the pies, and 30 minutes later, it was a reference in the show! And they didn’t even connect with it-so I think it’s just gonna take some time to deal with Mardi Gras Indians, king cakes, making groceries, crawfish boils, bounce music (and hopefully some sissy bounce too!) etc.

I’m a newbie but really looking forward to NOLA monstertalk, for real! It’s an amazing, heartbreaking story and city.

Fringe, whatever you do, DO NOT mix prescription medications!!!
