Lazy Last Day in New Orleans!

Ok so the discrepancy between Adam's smileyface and Adam's scaryface is enormous and terrifying.

Exhibit A: Smileyface
(taken the night we all first met)



Exhibit B: SCARYFACE
("Keys!!!!!!")



Oh my god it is so frightening.

Do you want to know why he told me I am "That ANNOYING person that everyone HATES!!!" the night before?

Because on our cab ride home I tried to spit my gum out my window and missed and it landed on the car-window sill and so I had to pick it up and throw it out by hand.

That's all.

Furyface, I'm telling you. I thought I was going to be murdered in my sleep.

Anyway.....things were slightly better in the morning.

Khalil came over and we laid around talking about how we were so hungry and needed to get food, but didn't actually make it out of bed until 3pm when we hit Port of Call.






After that we went back to bed, drank every alcoholic beverage in the house, and giggled our way through back-to-back episodes of Glee, Modern Family (best show currently on TV), and Arrested Development (best show EVER) until the wee hours of the morning.

We drove to the airport. I flew to Atlanta. Stuffed my face with Chick fil-A. Flew back to NYC. And now I'm home resting up and enjoying the calm before the storm. (The storm being the upcoming barrage of visitors, birthday parties (including my own), and thanksgiving dinners.)

Yay!

Thank you Adam and Katie and Semmesey and Khalil for a wonderful week in New Orleans!

(minus the yelling)

New Orleans: Streetcar Pub Crawl / Rock N Bowl

Adam and Khalil's friends organize an annual Streetcar Pub Crawl where a gang of gays ride the local streetcars up through the city wreaking havoc at every stop along the way.



There was a group of about forty or so of us.



Insanity.




And New Orleans streetcars are notoriously inefficient.

For instance, it took about 30 minutes for each of us to buy a day-pass from the driver and load up into the trolley, at which point cars behind us (and regular people on the trolley), had no choice but to just sit and wait. (The cars run on a track, so there is no passing.)

And the other day, Khalil reported that his streetcar driver literally just stopped her trolley on its tracks to step out and get a little sit-down breakfast.



Suuuper fun!






And I befriended a really nice obese!



After a few bars, I bailed to join Smershy and Semmes who were making a delicious dinner.



Fish!



And cookies!



After which we went to Rock N' Bowl. This fantastic bar/music/bowling alley.







(I am terrible at bowling.)



But we got superdrunkfaced!








After all this funnery we were going to head over to the Pub to meet back up with Adam and the Pub Crawlers, but the night ended when multiple people's fury-faces appeared and we ended up going home very abruptly.

Line of the night: "YOU are that ANNOYING person that everyone HATES."

New Orleans: Friday night wastedface

Katie and Semmesey had a fancy benefit to attend at the Museum.



So they dropped Audrey and I off to enjoy $3 martinis at Phillip's.




Also Khalil had just defended his thesis so we were celebrating that.



After the benefit, Katie and Semmes met up with us again for some dancing upstairs at the Pub.





After which we ended up dancing in the streets outside Napolean's Itch with some really hilarious blacks.





I love Bourbon St!

New Orleans: Parks and Recreation

Adam lives at the most incredible intersection of streets EVER.

Carondelet between Peniston and General Taylor (which, when spoken fast and in a southern accent becomes "Genitalia".)

Amazing.




For the rent we pay for a single tiny room in NYC he and his roommates are able to rent a beautiful three bedroom house with three bathrooms, laundry room, kitchen, dining room, and living room. Sigh.....



For brunch, Adam, Khalil, and I hit Milk Bar.



They specialize in giant scrumptious sandwiches.




We drove by Katie and Semmes' new home.



And then walked around Audobon Park which is I think where Tulane is.

It was such a beauuutiful day and wonderful escape from the frigidness that is New York.







We also went to City Park, which claims to be the largest city park in the USA.





At the end of the day, Adam's wonderful roommate Michelle came by with a bottle of wiiiine.




I love daydrinking!
