Uhh, go Gigantes?
Sorry I'm late.
I meant to acknowledge opening day for the San Francisco Giants last week, because if I were still living out there, that would have been a huge deal for me. At least work-wise. To be honest, I really don't care about baseball. Are they doing well? I think they are. Even when I worked right there, literally next to the stadium, I was only vaguely aware of the team. The only reason I'm even aware that opening day was last Friday is because I have a 2010 Giants schedule on my refrigerator. Why, you ask? Because someone sent me one in the mail. Fucker.
I did think about my friends at the ballpark last week, and I missed them. I was busy working an opening day of a different kind last Friday. It was the first day of French Quarter fest, really a warm-up for the upcoming Jazz Fest season. Greedy, insatiable, howling, thankless crowds for hours on end...
Actually, maybe it wasn't really all that different from opening day at the ballpark.
Hope I can get out to San Francisco sometime. Looking forward to checking out the view from one of these bar stools next time I'm in town.

Dining!
New Orleans, LA
French Quarter Fest, 2010
It's one of the best times of year to be in New Orleans. It's my first one since 2005. Before that I had been to every one since 1996. Once I moved away, I had to make the painful choice between Jazz Fest and French Quarter Fest. Jazz Fest always won. No contest, really.
But I love French Quarter Fest, and I've really missed it. Three days of music and food bursting all over the Quarter. I almost hesitate to tell you about it, because I kind of feel it's gotten as big as it needs to. It's really exploded since the storm, which is wonderful for the city, really, so I can't complain. There are more vendors than ever, all of our local restaurants and catering companies setting up shop and serving your standard festival favorites:
We're only scratching the surface here, people. More to come soon.
