Fear and Loathing in New Orleans

We were about half way to Bourbon before the shots started to take effect. Greetings! Since this is my inaugural blog for the site I felt introductions were appropriate.  Depending on which bar you’re at you might call me Chuck or Charles or Duffy.  You might remember me from the New Orleans guide as the author of the “White Trash Chic” article.  Since then so many things have changed.  But that’s just part of living in this wonderful city of random merriment and spontaneous outbursts of parading.

As a tour guide I am constantly relating anecdotes, jokes, hauntings and the history of this fine city therefore blogging about it seems to be a perfect match!  Now not only will I reach people already here but those who have yet to arrive.  Consider me the “local in your pocket.”  I’m going to blog about bars, restaurants, tours, history, architecture and what to do when you can’t remember the night before.  I also write for a local satirical magazine so you can look forward to a slightly more irreverent tone in my blog.  Information is good; entertainment is great!  Don’t be afraid to let me know if you’re coming down.  I’d be more than happy to meet you, show you around and let you buy me several rounds.  But only in the coolest places, naturally!  So read on ever mindful of the spirit of our fair city:  laissez les bon temps rouler! Let the good times roll!
