"New Orleans As Seen Through The Eyes of a Saint (not the football kind)" for Tiffany

[sixgunsaint]

Here is a full-frontal pic of the hotel me and my sis stayed at, Le Pavillion. Just a few blocks away from the Quarter!

Hey, that makes me homesick.

[sixgunsaint]

Me too, and I only spent 3 days there :D

[marchenland]

Ha. I hear others say that a lot, too.

No, I meant it literally. The rainy street was what did me in. I'm not from New Orleans, but a smaller city about 3 hours to the west, and I lived in the oldest city in the Louisiana purchase for 10 years, and even though it's TINY, it's got a lot in common with NOLA. Of course, NOLa natives (and NOLA residents) still consider me a tourist when I go there.

It's funny, but people from Illinois who visit Chicago aren't called tourists. People from Massachusettes who visit Boston aren't called tourists. NOLA people will refer to Baton Rouge natives who come to town every weekend as "tourists." I think that's offensive. Heh. NOLA is funny.

I wonder if it's because it seems like a lot of people don't think of the city as an actual city, but as some kind of amusement park. Chicago is more like a city-city, where walking down the street you'll mostly see people going about their day, business people and the like. Sure it has its tourists, but I think walking down the street one would have greater chance of bumping into an official tourist in NO than one would in Chicago or other type cities.

I have to go there someday.

[sixgunsaint]

Worth a trip, for sure. Even just a weekend. I didn't get to hit any bars or clubs while I was there, so I can't comment much on that. But the place has a vibe for sure.

Oh they're so beautiful!!! I think I'm in love :) The one with the horse is my favourite. What a gorgeous, gorgeous place! Yes, I am drooling, can't you tell? For some reason it feels or looks so familiar, but I can't put my finger on why.

Thanks for posting these Ben -- You're a star. If you have any more, I would love to see them.

Thanks! :)

Nice to know I whetted your appetite! I've got some others but their generic shots of houses, some more streets and the hotel. Oh yeah, and that pic of me eating a giant sandwich. A giant mouth and a giant sandwich.

[darkdevotchka]

Cool! Bring it on...

I'm at work by the way, and very, very bored!! Had the police in a little earlier asking if we'd seen a transgendered person hovering around the building as there has been heaps of cases in the area involving traveller's drinks being spiked...

Fun. Missed out on seeing any transgendered persons though.

[sixgunsaint]

That's interesting. Studies have shown that people of transgender...ings are more likely to spike drinks than non-transgenderers. Of course I made that up, but it sounds like the cops might have had something spiked as well.

And I just remembered you work in a hotel. A transgender hotel ;)

And you want to leave your country...shame!

[darkdevotchka]

Actually...I was thinking of you the other night - I was like, (besides the ghost stories, which I admit, are really overdue) there was something else I remembered that I had to tell you! You know that 6 degrees of separation thing? Well, it just occurred to me that in some eerie way you are not that far off from Nick Cave after all. I'm sure you're fascinated as hell to find out, right

[bluestarla]

I love your icon! :)

[darkdevotchka]

Thanks! :)

That's a damn amazing story! Nick's definately acted before, and one of the performances was actually pretty lauded, a film called 'Ghosts of the Civil Dead'. He also wrote the score for the film, which is, for me, unfortunately still only an Australian release. Hopefully we'll see it in NA soon. But he definately has acting experiance.... my lord if he decided to do it? You'd be my new goddess for sure, as I'm confident you would do all in your power to help me meet him, :D But seriously thats amazing, hope it works out. Its also amazing how far your brother is. How far along is the film? Will it be filmed over there or in the States? Is it a western (a genre I'm a huge fan of). Wow, can't wait to hear more about this. Maybe you could be a screenwriter? :D

And, heh heh, if your bro happens to need more actors, I'm always just a hemisphere away... yes, I am a job-whore!

Amazing story, Tiffany. That post definately was a lot to ingest in one sitting. 6 degrees indeed! ;)

[bluestarla]

Oh, Man! Those are some nice pictures! Dude, thanks for sharing. I really hope you have a nice time!

Don't get into too much trouble. :)
