Quiet day in NOLA

Today was a pretty quiet day in Louisiana. Yesterday I went to see a brass band late at night at something called Candlelight Lounge, and I'm telling you, it was crazy. It was just like you'd expect New Orleans to be; wild dancing and loud jazz. An absolute riot and thrill. I always thought that everyone exaggerated the NOLA spirit, but let me be the first one to tell you: they don't!

So... this morning I was a little tired from the events of the night, and spent the morning doing laundry while I read the last pages of Marc Acito's Attack of the Theatre People. Pretty good, but then I needed another book. So I went down St. Charles Avenue and got a book on Columbine, which - as most of you know - something that I'm way too interested in. Afterwards I wrote a gazillion pages of Freckles in a cafe on Royal Street and all of a sudden it was 9pm!

So it was pretty quiet and an amazing day. I loved just walking around in New Orleans and hanging around. I really needed that after three days of intense sightseeing.
