Beer, alt.history.what-if video, Halloween

[infrogmation]

Yesterday Ms. H and I had lunch at Gordon Biersch Brewpub on Poydras Street. Neither of us had been there, and Hollie had been disappointed about A1A Brewpub in St. Augustine being under renovation during our recent visit to that city. We found the food and beer sampler very satisfactory. The CBD is certainly quite a contrast to the near-abandoned atmosphere of a year ago. We also did a quick walk around the Casino across the street. I'd not been in it since right after it opened. I think the 10 minutes walking the circuit in Harrah's will do me for Casino visits for another decade, unless they add some interesting art I wish to see. I think I'd find prolonged exposure to the noise of scores of slot machines highly annoying. Hollie says I wouldn't like Vegas.

I'm perhaps a bit behind the curve on this one, but locals should check out The U2/Green Day video for The Saints are Coming for a bit of creative alternative history of New Orleans K-Day +1.

Happy Halloween, all!


Scary stuff, kids!

Arrgh-that's not good news about the shooting. Oh why do those idiots have to return???

*sigh*

I asked Chad about Gordon Biersch but he's not a fan of the brewpub.. *shrugs*
He didn't care for CC brewpub as well sorry to say.
Perhaps we can have friends gather at a coffee shop or Cooter Brown's?
Gads, will have to find a spot on that busy busy weekend.. :)
