Set up for Paul Picaults tasting seminar...banged out about 120 drinks in the tasting room, then had 50 minutes to make it to a new venue, set up, and execute 2 cocktails for Pierre Ferrand and Citadelle...at the same time...from opposite sides of the room....without bar tools. How does one do this...with help from Chris Hannah and Todd Richmond.
Lent a hand in the kitchen by doing dishes, called my wife on her birthday...happy birthday baby...wrapped up the day with the rest of the team, went do dinner at at Marigny with Jacob Grier, jumped up to Vaughns to see Kermit Ruffins, too many people and to hot and stick for me...but amazing...yeah...the music was melting the floors.
Couldn't hang and had to catch a cab back to the hotel...but the cabby started taking me the long way...so I had him drop me off 10 blocks from the hotel and walked until I reached NoLa's version of Touchdown Jesus. Next to there was a pirate themed bar that also served absinthe. I stopped in to see the place, and was digging some solidarity and the quiet. Alas..meandered my way to bed...and I'm spent.
