Thank you for making me feel so comfortable in your store amidst the frenzy of holiday shoppers. The guitar shop isn't daunting enough for an amateur guitar player who hasn't mastered the entire "Stairway" solo to jam in-store. It really helped when I asked your advice on a certain guitar only to be told that since I wasn't familiar with that particular brand, that I "don't know anything about guitars," before you walked away to show one of the regular guitar heroes how a certain pedal could really improve that Santana sound he was going for at full volume. Seriously, break a leg this weekend playing with your virtuoso Megadeth cover band, at whatever arcade will have you. I only hope that an errant skeeball takes off and finds its way to your nuts. Rock on, bro.

Day #1 at Tales...

By pinklady on Fri, Jul 18, 2008 7:15 pm

Began late with a perfect Pimm's Cup and breakfast at the Napoleon House. YUMMMM...If you've never had a Pimm's Cup do yourself a favor and check this cocktail out, especially if you happen to be in the quarter, near the Napoleon House. We also sampled a Roast Beef Po' Boy, since evidently the deep fried version we had the evening before just wasn't enough for us, and a Muffaletta, which comes portioned as a whole, half, and quarter sandwich. We ordered the quarter size, and it was still as big as my head.

Before dinner MiMi, Em, and I (Pink Lady) head down to the Carousel Bar for Vieux Carres and to meet up with Hanky Panky and Barbara West. The Carousel Bar spins in the center of the room, so to chat with these seated gals, we have to march slowly around the room with them. We're doing the "Carousel Crawl." It looks impossibly silly.
