THURSDAY 11:00am:
It is a cloudy afternoon in Atlanta. I am on the net
checking the weather and it looks like rain all the way to New Orleans. Geezus,
where in the hell is Twist. Oh well, we are really not on a time crunch, so
I decide to go run errands before Twist gets here.
I come back and low and behold the mighty Twistopher is here. We hang out and play on cam for a bit and then decide to head to New Orleans. The drive was long, but I had a good time. It rained the whole time. Twist is a good guy and we both talked a lot. On the way down to New Orleans we realized that it only takes "50 more miles" after every Mile Marker to get to where we are going. Also at one point we were gonna stop at a Rest Area to pee. "I was just peeing!" "Yeah me too!" We finally make it to New Orleans about 8pm CST.
Twist and I head to New Orleans |
New Orleans on the Horizon |
Upon entering the city, we missed our street and headed into no man's land. We quickly turned around and headed back down the correct street and then found the hotel. Only one problem, we had no idea where to park. So we drove around and could not find a garage in the building. So I got out and went to the front desk. Since I was there I decided to see if I could get Thursday Night and Saturday Night booked for Twist and I. NO PROBLEM. THANKS IZZI for Friday Night. The guy at the front desk told me that we could use Valet. As I was at the counter TigerLily and Kpral showed up. I said hey and told them I would be back in a few. I had to get the car situation handled. I headed back outside. Twist came around to Valet and we got everything situated.
As we head to the room, I see Dawn Marie (DM) checking in. She was with a couple that I had never seen. She introduced them to me as JenONT and RobONT. I had heard the name before, but had never chatted with them. DM told me that the REV was at the bar. So Twistopher and I head to our room. The bellboy tells me that our bags will be up in a few. As Twist and I are waiting for the bags, time just ticks away and no bags. We get a little worried, so I decide to head downstairs. As I am waiting for the Elevator, Claudia Christian and her "Roomate" are looking for the Green Room. I had never heard of it and I proceded to act like I knew what I was doing. Needless to say we never found it, but we got our bags.
We head down to the bar and there is The Rev. We chat for a few and then Chris Hales and Roger show up. We chat with them drink a beer. Lots of people come and go. It is all kinda hazy from this point. I know a little later we were looking for some food. DAMNIT, I cannot remember if we ate that night or not. Oh well!
So that night, Chris Hales, Roger, DM, Twist, Rob, Jen, The Rev, Alladin Sane and Myself head out to the Quarter. Tigerlily (TL) and Kpral were coming with us, but TL was on the phone with Msbtch. Needless to say, TL and Kpral did not go with us. So we head to Bourbon Street. We walked the 5 or so blocks and proceeded to some Mister Freeze Daiquir place. Everyone buys some CRACK and then we leave and look for other alcoholic beverages. I had a beer at this point.
It gets a little hazy from here. We basically just walked around Bourbon Street and bought drinks left and right. OMG! Twist and I decided to get Jello Shots. Now, I am thinking DM Halloween Jello Shots (50 more shooters). This shot Twist and I had was like 100% Golden Grain. After Twist and I swallowed it, we both had the look of we are about to puke. But we held it in like Real Men and moved along to the next liquor place.
Hang Grenades anyone? Everyone bought Hand Grenades except myself and Twist. I got a beer. Hmmm Beeer! Everyone proceedes to drink their drinks and walk. The girls decide to go into the Cat's Meow and watch Karaoke. You are not allowed to bring drinks in, so Twist volunteered to hold their drinks. I chugged my beer and entered with them. We were only in there for about 5-10 minutes, but just enough time for Twist to Two fist the drinks and help the girls in trying to keep them sober. We see lots of need places, like a place to wash your favorite HO! Twistopher (Chris Owens) found a bar named after him. It was all good.
Throughout the night, we went to lots of stores and clubs. DM and JEN got their fortunes told. While they were inside I stepped outside and had a bum cry on my shoulder and telling me that he had been homeless for 10 years. I gave him a buck. I then went inside when he started to touch me. The following pics are from the night out prior to The Dungeon.
So it is at this point we head to the Dungeon. DM says that this is the club of all clubs. The Ferrari of all night time establishments. So we get there and nobody is there. Twist and I wait in line for the bathroom. I go 1st. I tell him that we will be upstairs. I go upstairs and we get to sit in the Dungeon. OHHHHH! Rob tries to take a picture and the bouncer puts his hand over the lens (Rob has a picture of the guys hand). So we hang out for a bit and then realize that this club is totally lame and head outside. It is at this point that I realize that Twist is MIA. Where the hell did he go. No One had seen him. He was really drunk. We had no clue. So I head out of the club and look for him. I walk up one street and down the other. Nothing. AHHH! I was losing my buzz and I was not too happy bout that. "TWIST WHERE ARE YOU?" We went up and down the streets looking for him asking everyone, "Have you seen our TWIST?"
So after about 4 minutes we give up and decide to just head back to the Hotel. We stop a few places on the way and DM and Jen meet this really nice Homeless Crack whore on the street. They try to comfort her, but the stench of Urine overcame them and they quickly retreated. We stopped a little ways down and DM politely puked next to me. So we finally headed on down to the Hotel. On the way to the Hotel, DM just decides to take a nap in the street. Umm, it was kinda wet. She did not care. I then had Rob take a dirty/funny picture of DM and I. hehe I am so bad. We get to my room and what do I see. TWIST is asleep in the bed. DM climbs on top of him and lays there. I take a picture and then everyone leaves and I pass out.
