Bar Anticipation

[Orleansnj]

The Upbeat Lowdown Bar thread has been closed by the forum participants due to violation of their certificate of occupancy. The bar was unable to accomodate many long time patrons due to overcrowding.... :)

This bar has opened in its place.

In honor of the grand opening - Abita for everyone !!

Strawberry Harvest Lager Hits Shelves SOON


You’ve waited all year and now it’s almost here! Abita Strawberry Harvest Lager is back. Last year when we introduced the new limited edition brew, made with plump, sweet Louisiana strawberries it caused quite a sensation. 6,400 cases of the beer sold out in only six weeks.

Abita Strawberry Harvest Lager is made with ripe, red Louisiana strawberries, harvested at the peak of the season. Strawberry Harvest has the aroma and taste of the berries, with a refreshing and satisfying beer flavor. In response to the incredible demand, a greater quantity of Abita Strawberry Harvest Lager was brewed. However, President of Abita Brewing Company, David Blossman, reminds everyone, “Supplies are still limited and once they are gone…they are gone. We won’t make any more til 2008.”

[Amy Winette]

Yay, a new bar! I assume we have wine in this place?

Are BOOBS allowed in this bar?? ;)

[Orleansnj]

yes and yes...but there is one rule - whatever you come into this place with you gotta take out.... (HA HA)

http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t281/orleansnj/redwine.jpg

[Lester_leaps_in]

Do I need a reservation?

[Orleansnj]

he&& no - this is just a low-maintenance, bigger space for more people....what would you like?

[Amy Winette]

I think it's body shot time. Where's Montana's hairy belly?? ;)

[mightyradgumbo]

Yay! I love the new joint-No abita for me as the gumbo's lenten repenten tour nears its third week so may I have a soda H20 with lime please to go with dinner of homemade chicken and black bean burritos (that's homemade burritos not homemade chicken or black beans, btw)

[Orleansnj]

yep

That is a nice looking beer, lester...I take it from your avatar that you were/are in the corps? I did a stretch back in the 80s.

Yep, twenty years worth. And, of course, once a Marine, always a Marine. Semper Fi!

[mightyradgumbo]

Sorry I even remembered the old school rule "you can have it if you brought enough for everyone" but rules is rules...

[mightyradgumbo]

Yep, twenty years worth. And, of course, once a Marine, always a Marine. Semper Fi!

Semper fi, my brother did 23 or 24-I did one hitch, but it was worth all four years.

I'M DROOLING!!!!!! think i need to put the Abita Brewery Tour back on my list (for those of you who haven't gone on the tour, consider it, i've done it at least 4 times, mostly when i was in lawschool, and based in large part on the hospitatlity room that's open before and after the tour with tapped kegs of everything that they are selling at the time, i STILL have no clue how they make the stuff;)

[Orleansnj]

you can do that - or - I'm betting they will have a local pub crawl during the fest....those can be fun too.......

[Mardigrasbaby35]

[Zydekitten]

Did my Kitten ears hear something about mud wrasslin??? :D

Love the new joint - my b00bs and I would love a dink (the girls get thirsty checking out new taverns, don't cha know?)

Is there a jukebox?? That's a vital component of a great dinking hole.

Re: the belly shots . . . I like a little fur on my men, but that is a cry for the depilatory police - I couldn't even quote that - the pic is so . . . ewwwwwwww. :eek:

[mightyradgumbo]

Thanks for not reposting that zkitty...I first saw it when I was eating.eeewww for sho.

Amy said you would come runnin when mud wrasslin was mentioned

[socaleric]

[stlbarb]

if you eat all that and drink hurricanes, you will be hurling.
slow down, there's plenty of time. relax. enjoy.

(ps - imo hurricanes taste like sno-cones with rum, only sweeter.)

Yeah, when I saw that - my thought was "Sulfuric acid eye wash, here I come!"

About the wrasslin - all I can say is how well y'all know me!! Also, can we include a mud wrasslin pit in this new speakeasy?? ;)

[Amy Winette]

Your root beer's here, might be a little mud splattered but we can wash it off :)

Poker says I need to read the hug thread so I think I'm gonna do that now . . .

[pokerchick66]

Read it, yes, but most importantly watch the two videos. I think you'll be glad you did. It made me HAPPY!

RT, the other bar was just getting too big, long thread wasn't loading right for some folks, we had to move. On the old board we had to start a new one whenever we got close to 1000 posts or the whole thing would keep crashing . . .

but according to those who love me - i'm bitchin'. ;)

and i was cracking up over the dogs, they were running amok.
a friend was trying to do a semi-formal photo shoot for us, including a 'family' shot with the dogs. we just wanted some shots of us when we weren't in costume &/or slurged (the humans, not the dogs).

I was surfing the wine shelves this weekend and stumbled across this


http://www.bigtattoored.com/ourwines/btw2005_label.gif http://www.bigtattoored.com/ ... the white wine was OK but the name got me thinking that I want to get another tattoo and get it while I'm in NOLA for the first time ... and I'm thinking I want a Fluer di lis ... can anyone reccomend an artist there?

[mangoon]

Never been there myself, but a number of people here were recommending Electric Ladyland on Frenchman St. last year.

[MzJoey]

R u sure u want to get a tattoo on your vacation? expecially in a hot sweaty environment? You'll have to cover so no sun on it during the day, and no swimmin pool action....I'm just saying cuz a friend of mine got one in Hawaii on her vacation and wished she had waited till back home. I do think the fleur de lis would be really nice and have thought about getting another tat...this might be one i'd choose....

[bluedog]

I do think the fleur de lis would be really nice and have thought about getting another tat...this might be one i'd choose.... good thought! ... although I was thinking maybe the last day i'm there ... 'tis Monday after JF our flight doesn't leave til 2 or something, but maybe you're right ...

[MzJoey]

...just heads up....i love body art! I researched who i wanted to do my tat - raven in flight - we met first, talked about design...yada yada...after it was done, i went back once to have a lil 'adjustment'....for me the comfort factor of knowing the artist was very helpful...

[mangoon]

Good advice MzJoey. Made the mistake of getting a tatoo about half-way through a Jersey Shore vacation many years ago. Did not stay out of the ocean, pool ,or sun, and ended up doing some minor damage to it. I would definately say if your going to get one wait till the vay k is almost over. It's not worth cramping your vacation lifestyle over.

[MzJoey]

...post us a pic...we can do a gallery of threadhead bodyart....hmmm....ummmm depending where it is and if ya wanna share....thanks mg....i wits ya....on vay k i just wanna ...party my socks off...

Blue Baby - my last night in NOLA last December, I got a tattoo from Cameron at Electric Ladyland on Frenchmen St. and he was great to work with and did an excellent job (and I have 6 tats, so this is something I do know about - as opposed to the other things I yap on about on the Bored ;))

Here's a link to his page on their website: http://www.electricladyland.net/cameron.html

And I say - go for it, get your art! My Fleur de Lys tattoo that I got a month later really helped me deal with the sorrow and frustration of the storm. Electric Ladyland has a wonderful book of NOLA/Katrina art also!!

I would recommend not getting the tattoo until just before you leave - it enables you to fully enjoy your stay without having to worry about tattoo aftercare at the fairgrounds, etc.

:D

will post another pix soon!!

I was surfing the wine shelves this weekend and stumbled across this


http://www.bigtattoored.com/ourwines/btw2005_label.gif http://www.bigtattoored.com/ ... the white wine was OK but the name got me thinking that I want to get another tattoo and get it while I'm in NOLA for the first time ... and I'm thinking I want a Fluer di lis ... can anyone reccomend an artist there?

My tatoo was done at Art Accent Tattoo 1041 N. Rampart Street years ago. It is a studio owned by Jacci Gresham. The color is still good and I felt that they were the cleanest shop in the city when I had mine done years ago.

I would go back there again in a heartbeat - and I've been thinking about it for a while..... :)

he is SOOOO cute....but shhh...we're not 'posed to let people in the bar who ain't 21 - and he doesn't even reach the bar - so we can't say he's passin' either...

Joey, so so cute!!!

Blue, there's been a lot of tattoo discussion on here and everyone raves about Electric Ladyland on Frenchman. I would get it on vaca too, near the end, makes it that much more special. I got one near the end of a Vegas vaca and it was just fine.

Want to get another in NOLA, want Jeff to get one too (hee hee), we talked last year about trying to find something matching/coordinating . . .

Nah, it's after noon in some parts of the country (even if it's only quarter to 11 here) ;)

Love your avatar too Barb, I can just see ya laughing! I actually recycled mine from Vegoose, I seem to only have the 2 on photobucket and Jeff has all the hard copies of pix . . . Would like to put up something new, just don't know what . . .

Two of my tatoos and my tongue piercing were done at Art Accents on Rampart - love em!

EXCELLENT !!!

I am really thinking about adding another one...just have to decide what I want (i have three ideas) and where to place it.

Definitely toward the end of vacation.

Pic, please.

[Amy Winette]

You haven't seen that one before PC? I'm surprised as my ass is usally hanging out, haha!! ;) I don't know where I have a pix, and I seemed to have left my new camera with Jeff this weekend. It's a Celtic seahorse (Celtic Pisces symbol) on my back. I also have a Chinese peace symbol on right hip and belly pierced, I did this 3 birthdays in a row (24, 25, 26). Then I sort of ran out of things to do. It's been 7 years since the last tattoo, I want another one. On the back of my neck I think . . .

Wow. The only thing I ever did like that was have my belly button pierced. That was back in the day.

You can show me when I see you. :D

[Amy Winette]

Of course! I am kind of bummed now that we have a board with pix that I don't have a pix of that seahorse, I love it, it's blues and all Celtic knotty :)

IMO the piercing hurt worse than the tattooing but of course it didn't take as long. The tattooing is just like a scratching really. I nearly passed out when I stood up and saw that hole in my belly ;) Did them all 100% sober, then got really tanked!

thanx for da link! checking it out now
I've tried to get one the last 3 trips down there and I can't seem to get it together. I almost did in November and then he talked me out of getting it on my foot which is where I want it.....too much smearing possibilities...I have had that problem with my toe tattoo....I have the tramp stamp on my lower back already and was thinking behind my neck but then I'm worried about when I'm 70 and have short hair...how will I feel about it then....also considered the inside of my wrist....I'm leaning towards that the most. I'll gab with them again and see if I can get my sh*t together this trip lol! Good luck Blue, hope you get it together better than I have. They have some pretty sweet Fleur De Lis designs....that's what I want too.

are you serious Amy? For me the belly piercing was nothing but the nose piercing was mind-blowingly painful. The tatt on my toe was hell, the tatt on my back was very painful but kind of cathartic at the same time. I got it when my life exploded into complete chaos and I found that it grounded me.....

(I think I just let my freak flag fly a little too much again):o

[Amy Winette]

It was probably mind over matter on the belly, that's a pretty thick chunk of metal getting stabbed through your skin! It WAS fast though. And I got woozy after looking down at the hole! I have noticed mine is a lot thicker gauge (is that the word) than any of my friends though . . . Tats didn't bother me at all. The one on my back took an hour, no problem, just felt like I was being scratched.

Yeah, I always thought I might like a toe or top of foot but I've also heard most artists won't put them there. Avoided ankles and arms b/c of work clothes, dress clothes, etc. Thought neck might be good as I so rarely put my hair up but I hadn't really thought of having short hair someday . . . Where else is there? (I am not doing a boob or a butt cheek!) I very much want another though, and want to get it in NOLA.

and my slippage is fine - no problems.

welcome to my world girl....this is why after 3 tries, I still don't have a new one :( We HAVE to figure this out.....I wanna show it when I WANT to show it but I want to be able to hide it when I need to hide it....especially on the job. Thus the dilemma....

Maybe somewhere on the upper back/shoulder blade area, that area is never uncovered when at work, right? Hmmm . . . Well, would have to be below a tank top line I guess, otherwise would show when the suit jacket is off . . .

[Zydekitten]

I'm guessing you'd wash that down with a double order of blue balls. (http://www.drinksecret.com/recipe/blue-balls.html)

But it's back to plain old Sambuca for me. Con mosca.

Yeah, my body piercings were much worse than the tats in terms of "discomfort" . . . the tattoos are TOO addictive, I recently was in the City (just before the Mardi Gras Party at The Independent) and got some new body jewelry and was SO tempted to get another tat right then and there.

I think I'll wait until I see my regular tattoo artist in June though - although I would go back to Cameron Randall (not the other Cameron) at Electric Ladyland in a heartbeat, he was excellent and the shop is bright, clean and well-lit! :D

[Amy Winette]

I wanted the same kind of location for my first tat and I got it on the right-front shoulder, just next and below the clavicle . . . it's so very easy to hide if you want to (without it being a hassle), as well as show off:

Well, I'd show you a photo of it, but Photobucket is down (sheesh). :D

Well, I grew up eating beef tongue (which I love, even though I don't eat red meat any more) - so the thought of it wasn't too strange, and they tasted good. However, I think I would pass on slicing them off the cow and eating them right then and there . . . ewwwww, indeed! :eek:

Justagirl got her fleur-di-lis tat on the back of her neck when she had long hair. Then she gave her hair to locks of love and got that oh so cute hairdo she has now. I think THAT's an awesome look!! http://www.clicksmilies.com/s1106/aktion/action-smiley-033.gif

Yeah, that might be the spot. I really like back of the neck though, I'm kind of fixated on it and refusing to think of the future when I might have short hair. Now the only time I put my hair up is when it's really hot and that never happens at work.

Do tell where the piercings are too!!

Mmm, my Dad's whole family and Jeff too, into the tongue. I can't get past the fact that it has tastebuds! Jeff will bring home a yummy burrito and then tell me it's tongue. Pass!! (Good way to keep me from eating his food though . . .) ;)

[Zydekitten]

LMAO about the tongue - we used to tell my little bro that it was "special beef" and would cut it before serving, so he never saw it in it's natural tongue state. ;)

At about this point in the discussion last year, didn't someone come up with a cover up make-up kind of stuff for when you needed to be tat free?

Wish I had the nerve. :p

Well that's what I'm kind of thinking, something smallish and tasteful so even when it's visible it isn't that attention grabbing, plus you DO want to show it off sometimes.

I'm thinking I'll have long hair as long as I'm in the "big firm" world anyway . . .

Survey of Kitten's Body Art:

First tattoo: was Celtic Weave that later "blew up", now a blue lotus on leaf and water with aura around the top. Body location: right front shoulder.

Second tattoo: celestial scene (Radiant Sun over earth with some stars in night sky). Body location: lower back, just below pants line.

Third tattoo: Merkitty (part Kitty, part Mermaid), with Crab friend in swirling water. Body location: back of left calf (thus to hide, I wear long skirts with or without boots or trousers)

Fouth tattoo: Fleur de lys in New Orleans Mardi Gras colors (purple, gold and green) topped by a crown (to show that NOLA is the Ruler of my Heart). Body location: inside of right ankle.

Fifth tattoo: Mudra with Eye of Buddha in palm of hand (mudra are sacred Hindu/Buddhist/Indian hand positions). Body location: Outside of right hip.

Body piercings: 2 main ear piercings, 4 additional ear piercings on left ear lobe, 2 b00bs (one for each).

For my wedding, my best friend Linda (and maid of honor) got some cover up make-up for her tats, because, at that time, my in-laws had not even seen MY tats yet! I'll ask her what it was, if anyone needs to know.

most painful piercing = tongue, wicked painful and awful swelling, even with steroids.....got it done the day before Fest 1987. Ate mango freezes and only mango freezes the whole time.
most painful tat = right ankle (don't ever get a tat on the bone!)
tats that I laughed thru = left boob, both deltoids (plenty of padding there!!)

So many tattoo ideas! I love mine....it's the Ohm sign on a lotus flower with swirlies that spell my daughter's initials around the center (s. a. m. and her name is Sam....I thought I was so witty back then lol!)

My toe is a toe ring but I've had the damn thing re-done about 4 times...it was originally a ying/yang symbol but the smearing messed it up..now it's just a ring.

smearing? semi-permanent ink?

[Orleansnj]

Lis - I am curious about this smearing thing too - whatcha mean?

[Zydekitten]

Feet aren't great places for tattoos (neither are hands) as the skin gets much more exfoliation and such that will break down most art tattooed there - it's one reason a lot of tattoo artists don't like doing them there - not to mention the pain level is MUCH higher (less muscle and fat underneath to cushion the inking).

Part of my lotus is on the clavicle and that was by far the most painful part of that tattoo. It's one reason to think carefully about tattoos on the back/shoulder blades . . .

[Corona]

what kitten said....the sloughing of skin from shoes and socks....so the design smudges over time... it sucks :(

For my wedding, my best friend Linda (and maid of honor) got some cover up make-up for her tats, because, at that time, my in-laws had not even seen MY tats yet! I'll ask her what it was, if anyone needs to know.

most painful piercing = tongue, wicked painful and awful swelling, even with steroids.....got it done the day before Fest 1987. Ate mango freezes and only mango freezes the whole time.
most painful tat = right ankle (don't ever get a tat on the bone!)
tats that I laughed thru = left boob, both deltoids (plenty of padding there!!)

Jenn, how did the tongue heal? Didja ever swallow it? Did it knock on your bottom teeth? Have always thought they were cool (and fun to smooch) but have heard they are difficult.

[Amy Winette]

real credit goes to StlBarb who said Tab Benoit helped preserve her wetlands...

That's hilarious, how'd I miss that?? :)

A dink to letting the freak flags fly sounds great to me!

[MzJoey]

hell i might as well dink, i've been abstaining from dinkin and supps due to this *$(##)* ......at end of day like right now my throat just closes up...damn! however......i'm never too sick to not think about wetlands preservation!

The piercing itself didn't hurt that much - it was very fast, I went to a really good piercer in Sacramento . . . however it was rather ouchy for some time afterward, much more so then the inkings. They did heal just fine and now I have some lovely hoops with amethysts!

But, you bring up a good point about pain tolerance levels though - and generally I think women do better than guys (they're so sensitive, the little dears ;) )

It healed quickly, I have a ton of very cool tongue rings. It does not "knock" on my bottom teeth. (Depends on your ring) I had my tongue pierced with my beloved dart team (with whom I share a tatoo). It is very.....ummmmm....functional.....(OK, delete me, you bastids!!!!)
I was told, if I took the "pin" out, it would heal up quickly, because the tongue is so vascular, but, even after not having a ring in for months, well, it still "goes in".

[Amy Winette]

I never noticed Jenn! So you have a little stud in there but can put in rings? Functional, heh heh :) No deleting, this is just getting good!!

And of course I wouldn't have seen Kitty's (well, ya never know, but nope, haven't) ;) Amethysts, sounds lovely (my birthstone!)

No guys with anything interesting pierced??

Well, there's always this year, Miss Vina, my luv . . . ;) :D

[Azeater]

So you have a little stud in there



ok. I am going to bed now before I get in even more trouble.

[Amy Winette]

Yeah, I kinda knew "stud" might elicit a response ;)

Pierced nipples, eh, maybe I should wait til after kids and breastfeeding?? Give me a few years Kitty!!

[Zydekitten]

Well, pierced nipple chicas breastfeed all the time - but I can understand your wanting to wait. I'll keep checking back on you, mija . . .

Really? You just take em out I assume? See, I am learning things today! Um, do they ever catch on things? That would be pretty cool (and hot!) at topless pools :)

[Zydekitten]

Yep, you can take out the hoops or wear barbells instead . . . and yes, they can catch on things, which depending on how soon you stop the snag, either feels fun or not-so-much-fun :)

We're going to be seeing Tab twice in one day too, Gumbo. He plays at fest first Saturday, too.

Nice, Tab x 2.

[Amy Winette]

I feel like there's something I was excited about first Saturday, why can't I remember??

Don't have any of the old pix I'm afraid :( Jeff's hard drive crashed this fall and the pix are on ofoto, but no hard file to put on photobucket. Same iwth myspace, there's a link there, but again I think it's just to another photo hosting site. I *think* you need to have the actual digital image to size down with infranview and then put up on photobucket, but IF there's a way to go from one hosting site to another, perhaps someone can enlighten me :)

You can reduce the image on photobucket, Ames.

[Amy Winette]

But I don't think I can get it from Ofoto to Photobucket. I tried to save a pix from Ofoto to my desktop to upload to Photobucket once and it didn't work, don't know if it's not possible or if it's just too complicated for a non-techie like me :)

Hey Y'all......I'm back...had the shot this morning...the lidocain shot to numb the spot hurt more than the cortisone....I'm feeling MUCH better. I have to lie down for a couple of hours so I get to spend the time with my Threadhead friends!:D

[ozzie]

Pleased to hear it Rosie... take it easy mate!

[Amyloves...]

WOOOHOOO....glad to hear you're better RT. Man, didn't your back pain start a couple of weeks ago? That's awful.

[rosetree]

WOOOHOOO....glad to hear you're better RT. Man, didn't your back pain start a couple of weeks ago? That's awful.
Yea, Amy, it was two weeks:( It just wasn't getting much better. I was taking one step forward and two steps back...that's great on the dance floor, but not for pain ;) I should be almost normal by tomorrow:D

[rosetree]

Pleased to hear it Rosie... take it easy mate!
Are you feeling better Ozzie????
Thanks for your help with your physio...I do appreciate it... the Threadhead Nation RULES !!!!!

[Amyloves...]

I'm thinking "almost normal" is about as close as you get rosie. I mean that as a compliment though.

[ozzie]

Are you feeling better Ozzie????
