Good Morning Everybody,
Geaux Saints - It's the real deal tonight - let's get those Cheese Heads!!
Thursday Events
Don't miss out on the weekly wine tasting at Cork and Bottle (3700 Orleans ) about 5:00 pm in Mid-City and the tasting is free with some great choices to taste and purchase - 2008 - Coppola - Director's Cut Pinot Noir, 2007 - Coppola - Director's Cut - Cinema Blend, 2007 - Coppola - Director's Cut - Dry Creek Zinfandel, 2009 - St Supery - Sauvignon Blanc and the 2008 - Joel Gott - Chardonnay.

And be sure to stop by the Crescent City Farmer's Market and patronize local Louisiana vendors with fresh veggies, seafood and more!

Saturday with Lee the Tropical Storm
Happy Saturday Everybody!
A simple way to spend your Tropical Storm Lee Saturday - stock up on lots of essentials - liquor, food and board games and enjoy your day!
And.....If you live in close proximity to a neighborhood bar or restaurant - walk on over and do some hangin' and bondin' with the neighbors. Remember to bring the flip flops and galoshes for the walk home.
Of course, The big LSU game is on tonight - so I think that should cover it for this damp day. Stay safe and try not to mildew.
GEAUX TIGERS!!!
