It was a Friday to remember.  Why? Well because....ah....er....ah....hmmmm....we can't remember.  But it definitely was one to remember.  With our friends Mike and Tonya from Palm Springs visiting here in New Orleans for the first time, we had to show them the sights.  Of course to us that means touring the bars.  We broke them in slowly with a quick early afternoon stop at a 3 for 1 club.  Well that soon turned into a 6 for 2 then a 9 for 3, then...look we know you can do the math.

Anyway, after a quick couple of dozen beers each, we continued our tour of Bourbon street stopping here and there to see if Coors tastes different the farther West you tavel.  Of course we were only traveling a few feet between each sample, but we figured that should be enough to establish a good baseline.  By the time we hit Acme Oyster House we'd collected enough data points to make our study relevant.  After enjoying a meal that you chew instead of drink (for the first time that day!) we headed back onto the street.

Retracing our steps going East this time we validated our study by using Budweiser instead of Coors as a control group.  At midnight we figured it was time for Mike & Tonya to have their first Hurricane.  Now folks, the Hurricane is a famous drink invented right here in the French Quarter, but realize it is also often used as a substitute for jet fuel worldwide.  By the time they'd sucked theirs' down, you could just tell by the look in their eyes that speaking in sentences containing both nouns and verbs was done for the day.  We last saw them going into a hotel lobby - not sure they had a room there - but we'll find out tomorrow, which is Saturday and an excellent day to REALLY do some serious drinking...

      
3 for1, 6 for 2, 9 for 3 - the ratios are all the same!               Stacy loves the concept of "butter fingers" if you know what we mean!

      
Tonya is a nurse and suggests you drink early & often!                The Hurricane did Mike in - after that brain cells fell out of his ears!
