The Spirit World

Alright childrens, gather ’round, cause its story time. Once upon a time people went to this mystical land called New Orleans…….and I forgot the rest, because I DRANK IT. Man, Tales was amazing.

When we arrived, I noted one thing: its like a D&D convention for drunks. So many wonderful nerds all in one place at one time. The most challenging part about the whole ordeal though, was, have you ever gone to school drunk? Remember how hard it was to maintain throughout the day, just wishing that lunch was coming sooner?

Well, Tales was no different. We were served delicious drinks all throughout the day and night, but we actually had to maintain a high level of intellectualism at the same time. I mean EXHAUSTING. I do have to say though, it was hands down, the best time I’ve ever had in my life. For those of you playing the home game, the picture I’ve included is one of many, this one being from a party at Loa at the International House Hotel. A really neat thing occurred to all of us that evening, two thirds of the attendees were bartenders. Unreal. There are plenty of other photos in the gallery. Have a look-see and catch up on what you may have missed or just reminisce.

I do have to say, the only thing that could have made Tales even better was if O’Flaherty’s was open again….a man can dream.
