New Orleans 2004

Rockin' out at Patty O's! That's me with Patrick (not that Patrick) and Ed. Again, notice my hand. THAT is not a rock hand! That's an "I Love You" hand! But it seems that Patrick has the wrong hand too, unless he's an avid surfer. They were super cute and super nice. In the tradition of bartenders, Patrick gave me a bit of advice on an issue of mine (advice which i didn't follow, but whatever). Ed had some cool tattoos and we compared dental advice vis-a-vis our tongue piercings. We've both had our piercings in for about the same amount of time (6 years as of this typing). Julie had never had a Hurricane so we stopped in specifically to get one. Pat O'Brien's was a nice surprise, I expected cheesy tourist joint but got mellow, mature with rockin music (I heard "Jungle Love" by The Time!).

On a side note, I finally got the hand right but not until I got back to Nashville and not until my birthday:
