gah, i have sooooo many halloween pics to post! i saw great costumes and i got blindsided with shooting a nike commercial for Chris Paul's new jordans, and election night, and my RAM-less laptop takes a realllllly long time to process the pics.
but i have them! i will post them!!!
i'm so almost done.
ps.
OBAMA is PIMP
So this post is dedicated to Dr. ER, my awesome buddy in chicago. He gave me an idea to blog about food in NOLA, and this is one huge po-boy pigout porn post dedicated to him. Enjoy, Andy honey!
Po-Boys are the reason i do not eat regular cold sammiches. i mean, why make a sammich out of cold cuts when you can have fried shrimp, ersters (oysters), catfish, or roast beef dripping with gravy, hot sausages, alligator sausage or even, or even french fries with debris gravy? (debris gravy: the roast beef gravy with bits and pieces of the roast beefy goodness) come on now.
I live right by Domilise's Po-boy shop uptown, which was featured on Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations show and the shit is GOOD. And my girl lives by Parkway, which has some damn good po-boys also. They are quite known for their roast beef po-boys.
We ordered a fried catfish and a fried erster po-boy with a side of debris fries. I guarantee you will never see anyone eat with as much glee as we do:

One of the things that i've missed from my days in AZ is the lowrider bike culture. Primarily a Latino craft, it's not that prevalent in New Orleans, although i admit that i'm not ingrained in the bike culture here, so I could be totally wrong, because there is a thriving bike culture here despite how bike UN-friendly the streets are here. NOLA has so far to go on this tip. And NOLA is really a great place that could be totally bike-sessible b/c so many peeps are 'hood centric, that riding a bike 'round your own self-contained hood really makes sense.
Today at one of me and mr lizn't's (yes, grammarians all over are freaking out at that) food celebrations, we hit up Juan's Flying Burrito on Magazine St, and what do we see, but this lowrider bike of beauty. Luckily, the owner and builder of the bike comes out, and i am able to grab an on-the-spot interview with him. He hand built the bike, and I was so bike-struck, that I couldn't think of all the questions I should have asked him, like if he does this for others, or if this is just his personal hobby.
At any rate, hit up Juan's, especially now, when the weather is nice enough to sit outside, have a yummy quesadilla, and give your boy Angus props on his ride. Because my little phone cam pics do not do the bike justice at all. (one day, a google Android phone will be mine)

New Orleans moment- Sitting outside one of my favorite coffeeshops, I just had to stop these girls and love on her kicks. Super cute shell toed Adidas on a couple of supercute girls. They of course, loved on Pixel, which was my in to get them to let me snap a pic of the kicks.
Amanda and Isabella. Two Street Sweet Girls and I hope to see them again in the neighborhood!

when The Kick was in town, he surprised me with a few days at an awesome bed and breakfast uptown, and each little section was themed. we were in Bordello Alley. oooh racy!
the room was so super cute. i loved the pink couch and the room key for reals said "Bordello 1"
The dope pink couch-
Like they say on Cribs - This is where the magic happens
except, this happened instead:
and i spent the night behind those double doors in the vintage bathroom. so the only magic that happened that particular night was The sweet sweet Kick getting me some much needed advil in the middle of the night.
which is so much muchly appreciated.
i do not have to say anything do i. this is a must have.
