New Orleans

Ok here's what's been happening since my last post. From Flagler Beach we went to visit Craig (Smaptastic) in Gainesville, Florida. Him and Vanessa are real life friends from law school. He was a really nice guy and we played a lot of Guitar Hero (he rocks at it), some cool Mario and Sonic Olympics on the Wii, and we had some beers and a nice meal at a Japanese place in Gainesville.

From there we had a long drive to New Orleans yesterday. Ezra and his girlfriend are actually out here until Wednesday, so we met with them last night. They're both really nice, and it was really lucky that we happen to be here at the same time. We had a meal at a place called Muriel's, and then we went for some drinks on Bourbon Street. I think it's Spring Break down here, and Bourbon Street was really busy. It's definitely a cool town down here, and everyone's here to drink and have a good time. The street is filled with people, and most bars seemed to have bands on. It was really cool, although I was definitely tired from the night on Craig's couch followed by a 9/10 hour drive.

I do have a funny story that happened when we leaving Flagler Beach. I was checking out and settling up on the room, when the guy who was working started asking me about poker. I'd mentioned to him that I played, so he was intrigued and interested to know more. A couple that were staying there came over to chat too, and they were all very surprised that you could do it for a living and things like that. I'd been quite a long time chatting with them, so Vanessa came down and dropped some bags with me and then went back to get her suitcase. I said my goodbyes and took the bags to the car, and we set off to Gainesville. When we got to Gainesville, we found that I'd picked up their laptop with our bags! So there I was telling them how profitable poker can be and how you can make a living from it, and I go and steal their laptop like a total degenerate! Luckily we managed to get in touch with them through the hotel, and we're shipping it back to them today.

No pictures today, but I'll try and get some on in the next day or two. We're hopefully hanging out with Ezra and Shira again today, going on some boat trip (I can't remember what they called it) and maybe grabbing some food.
