We just returned from New Orleans, where the food was great and the people were awesome. But, hey - that town is just about empty. You all need to get down there and spend some bucks to help keep the French Quarter alive if nothing else…Most of the restaurants are open, and the streets are dry, even when it rains!

Read more about our extravagances at CoffeeBeanShop. You can start there and work backwards, or start with our first night at K-Paul’s on Friday and work forward. Either way, you might see one or two photos that will bring back memories if you’ve ever visited this city.

I’ll be back soon with some updates on contests, news, and etceterarara on design issues. Falalala.
