An Exercise in Futility….

Thursday, September 28, 2006

Because of our late evening at the HoB, we didn’t leave our hotel until about 11:30. Went somewhere for brunch/lunch. Spent the afternoon at a coffee shop drinking lambic and coffee. Knitting (me) and reading (husband). Very nice. Hit a few shops that sell clothing I haven’t found in DC yet. I bought a kick-ass David Bowie shirt and a shirt with a women’s face that morphs into a skull. Husband bought some very cool shirts too, but I’ll let him describe them on his blog if he wants to.

Thursday was a really laid back day until the bourbon tasting. If you see me in person, ask me about it. I’m not going to go into lots of detail here. Let’s just say it was amazing and we met the coolest people ever. They “adopted” us for the evening and took us out to dinner and then to a couple of bars. As New Orleans natives, they were frank and honest about the reality of living there the past year and they treated us like we had known them for years. We had a blast and it really made our trip special. We finally made it back to our hotel at about 2 AM. Such a wonderful day.

If you want to make me super happy, give me a bottle of Blanton or Woodford Reserve as a present. I’ll be your friend for life.
