today's the last day of my vacation, at least for June lol

[metal_mel]

So, where do I start? Beware, this is probably going to be a really long post. I returned from New Orleans on Thursday afternoon and had an amazing trip. Before I left though, I went to Toronto with Matt on the Thursday to see Kryptopsy's drummer play a wicked solo at the MOCCA; then on Friday to the Falls to see Elevator 22 with likeria, met my other

wow hey that sounds like so much fun! :D I'm one of those odd people who loves to see pictures of other peoples vacations. (is there one of the cockaroach?) vicariously living through other people's experiences. :P my email (if you don't have it) is romeo@cogeco.ca I'm glad you got there and back safe and sound.

Alligator?? Seriously? What's it taste like?

lol yep

[metal_mel]

Seriously...alligator tastes like KFC popcorn chicken, it's really good! Actually my first bite this time was salty but it got way better after that! Last time we must have ordered it from the wrong place because it was hard and rubbery...ew!
Sent you the photos! :)
Funny that you ask if there's one of the cucaracha because I did actually take one, crouching down drunkenly on the ground with everyone laughing at me, hahaha! Unfortunately it wasn't on the digicam so I'll see if I can get someone to scan those for me when I get 'em back on Wednesday.

mmm... gator 'taters... :P

hey I got the pics! it occured to me as i flip through the pics that i think you have some of the most perfect teeth of anyone I know. lol looks like you had an awesome time! :) and such gorgeous scenery too... there's one word that always comes to mind whenever I see American architecture - 'massive'... gardens were beautiful! Hey what's that big white colonial-style looking building?

zee cucaracha...

I had braces, can't you tell? lol
Yes, the scenery is gorgeous...if you're staying right in the French Quarter though, you just have to beware of the piss-stinking streets (since it's legal for everyone to drink alcohol 24/7 on the streets as long as it's in a plastic container) even though they clean 'em every morning...as well as the piles of horse shit here & there (which I stepped in!)
The big white colonial building you were asking about (with all the Oak trees in front of it) is actually the Oak Alley Plantation where Interview With a Vampire was filmed among other shows/movies. We took a 1.5 hour bus tour out of New Orleans to go down there, it was pretty awesome! :)
Did you guys show up at Red Square last night at all?

la cucaracha....wow that takes me back to when i was a kid...glad you're home safe and sound! i'd love to see the pics too!! :)

haha cucaracha

[metal_mel]

Thanks baby! Glad you liked the pics!
Actually last night I just got back 2 more rolls of film from the trip, mostly silly drunken photos...and one of the cockroach up close! If you're at Red Square on Saturday night, come on over and I'll show ya! ;)
