and last but not least, an amazing mullet at the circle bar.
++ bonus ++ a full moon on the ride home
after a late lunch (think turtle soup and a 25 cent martini from commanders palace) and kicking around the apartment for a bit we headed off towards an old downtown brewery that had looted and then abandoned after katrina. our other roommate had been there a few days before and gave the advice to just keep heading up to the roof as you’ll get a great view of the city from an unusually tall perspective. done and done.
and with that we were out of light for the day and so it made perfect sense to head over to the fanciest bar in town and order up the signature cocktail of new orleans, the sazerac .
the rental house was located in the lower garden district and while biking around early the next morning i noticed a couple of large stack looming over the neighborhood. i had heard that the power station they belonged to had been abandoned for some time so a trip over to check out the situation seemed to be in order.
for my birthday, i was lucky enough to take a trip down to new orleans where some friends had rented a house for the month – most of them had come down for the mardi gras parties which were all over by the end of february. however, i had known most of the remaining people through the power of the internet for a while so it was fun to meet and get to know each other in person finally. here’s a few shots from the first day.
i’ve been a bit remiss in updating the blog, many apologies. if there’s anything to be taken from it, it’s that i’ve been pretty busy with outside work. i’ve been a bit better with updating my tumblr/moblog which can been found at: http://samhorine.tumblr.com/ and now on to the street fashion’s inside and out at the tents of bryant park here in nyc.
