Swirlin In The Bayou
Well our past weekend was full of many turn a rounds and surprises. We faced floods, near death experiences, ate great food, met incredible people, and came across a few alter egos or aliases. We headed to 2 places: Bay St. Louis, MS and New Orleans, LA. Bay St. Louis was incredible as always. Even though there was the great flood of 2009 outside, that still did not put a damper on people’s spirits. We saw old friends and made new ones. We had the best burgers in the world and got merry on the best mississippi brewed beer. Miku was and is our guardian angel down there at The Mockingbird Cafe and a million thanks to you. We stayed with our new Swedish friends Karin and Bjorn, a lovely couple from Gothenburg. We will see you soon and thanks for your generous hospitality. We saw a ghost train leave over the ocean, and then we headed west to Nawlins for some gumbo, jumbalaya, cajun fried chicken, and the best culture around. NOBODY CAN BEAT OUR SAINTS! As the town’s drunk Paul Revere-esque gentleman rode his bicycle yelling. The place was hopping, and we enjoyed beignets and cafe au laits at Cafe Du Monde while listening to our friend Tanya Huang shred on the violin. Both shows were great in their own way, and would not have been as fun and crazy without our close friend/personal hero, David Cousar. Dave (also formally known as Lux, formally known as Purvis, which is another story in itself) was right there with us swirlin it up getting crazy with us, and topping every situation that came up. We watched him melt faces and leave jaws hanging open. It was definitely an absolute pleasure having him with us. It’s not every day you get to go on the road with Dave Cousar, so we lived it up in every way. Also with us were 2 of the biggest driving forces behind Star & Micey, and that would be Karen and Sam. You guys were right with us for the craziness. We braved the mist of Mississippi to make it back home in one piece. A weekend we will never forget. Check out our Photos Page for new pics from previous tours, and from this past weekend. Video coming soon. We leave again this weekend with Grace Askew so stay tuned for more info.
