oh America

I'm finally coming out of the whiskey, red wine Seattle San Fransisco haze a day left in my trip to the West coast. Doesn't mean I won't be eating a greasy bacon cheese fried egg sandwich and terrible coffee in a couple minutes.  I can't wait to go back to New Orleans where people are civilized and continue planning my Mad Max Mardi Gras costumes and dance off with Krewe Delusion. I'm thinking black tutu, Doc Martin's, long fingerless gloves, and Uma Therman wig circa Pulp Fiction but in silver.

Because freedom isn't free?

Because I love when Barney Frank yells at people. One of my favorite is in a podcast in 2009 with Planet Money when the reporter discussed his anxiety of interviewing Barney Frank then at the very end of his interview Barney screams why did you ask me a complicated question when I only have short time answer it.

Because we really fucked up the Mississippi River Delta.

Saturday Seattle Gumbo

Gay military wedding on Archie's January cover!

I convinced Liam that listening to Trombone Shorty was much better than the Lion King on its 450,827,945,085 repeat this morning. I think we have a little brass band lover on our hands!

I think I found my kitchen table made out of reclaimed Cypress.

And I'm kind of in love with this house in mid-city.

When Liam plays the drums at 8am on a Saturday morning, he gets put on America's most wanted list.










Fugazi releases 130 shows, taped hundreds more.

Because I'm already missing New Orleans:

I'm Going to Seattle to Eat Some Bird

I mean I am currently in Seattle and will eat some bird on Thursday. Emanuel lives two doors over. He recently got out of jail after serving 14 years on his first offense. I haven't asked what that offense was. He walks me all around the neighborhood because he doesn't work, he just kind of hangs out. When I told him I was going to Seattle for Thanksgiving, his reaction was 'just to eat some bird? you out your head girl'. Emanuel kind of makes working from home awesome.

Rolling Stone just published a really good article on Occupy Wall St and how the GOP became the representative of the rich.

Watch out Seattle I'm bringing Hubigs pies!
