New Orleans, LA (DAY OFF)

Yesterday was our day off in New Orleans. We rolled into town around 4pm and got our hotel. After relaxing there for a while, we hit up the Harrah's casino for a little bit. I'm not much of a gambler, so I did $10 on slots. That was gone in approximately 5 minutes. None of the guys in the band gambled much.

After that, we headed over to Bourbon St. We first hit up a place called the Tropical Isle. They have these drinks called Hand Grenades. They're too good. Haha.

The other bands on the tour eventually met up with us and hung out for a while. We hit up a few different clubs and watched some bands play. It was a good time!

A buddy of ours (who is now in a band from NY) from our hometown happened to be in New Orleans last night. We went out to his van and woke him up. He came out and hung out with everyone for a while. It was great seeing him.

The night ended when the band decided to play a mean trick on me. Some of them decided to go back to the casino while a few of us stayed on Bourbon St. Well, the guys at the casino called me and told me that one of our guys got kicked out of the casino and was arrested. I obviously believed it and headed back to the hotel to gather up bail money. When I got back, our guy who was 'in prison' actually jumped out of our hotel bathroom. The whole thing was a hoax. I laughed it off and went to bed.

Our show tonight is here in New Orleans at the House Of Blues (Parish Room). It should be great! HOB shows are always fun.
