Artillery Shell Explodes over California Highway
Vance is like "Ima gonna shoot live artillery over the I" and Newsom be like "Dude, that ain't safe" and Vance says "Be quiet, pussy" and Newsom is all "I don't believe you and Ima gonna close that highway while you jack off with 155mm shells" and Vance be like "Whatever snow flake" and then the bomb goes off over the I and hits Vance's security car and Newsom says "Told ya bitch" and Vance is all "It wasn't me it was the Marines."

NOLA FunkFest 2025 Day 1
NOLA FunkFest 2025 Day 1
Skipping the 2nd line. Trying the vodka strawberry lemonade - it's a contender. Found a shade tent overlooking the river toward Algiers Point.
Date: 2015-10-17
Venue: Spanish Plaza
With: Terry
Food:
Breakfast at the Ruby Slipper, Florentine omelet, peach Bellini. Tried the crab cake poboy at the fest, good cakes but poboys were small and therefore expensive. Terry had crawfish pie, which was much better.
Vibe:
Warm day but decent breeze. Security focused on keeping the fest perimeter intact & separating the VIP/Super VIP from us peasants.
Intense sun through the afternoon. Lack of grass didn't help.

NOLA Day 1
We're in New Orleans for FunkFest, continuing our streak of never missing one of these delightful festivals. The weather is predicted to be hot & humid, to no one's surprise, until the weekend, when rain is a distinct risk.
Previously held at the Jazz Museum, this year its moved to the Spanish Plaza, over which we have mixed feelings. The shade and grass at the Museum was welcome, so the move to a concrete, shadeless location seems like a downgrade, at least in theory. It starts tomorrow, more of that later.
