a city full of bearded hipster beer snob bars sounds horrible to me. and i have a beard.

hence the "ruin it."

also - is it possible to be snobby about being a beer snob?  i mean, it's farging beer, bro.

the ruin it part is referring to letting big breweries in...not filling the city with hispter beer bars...they did that a long time ago...also i thinks its brah not bro but im not sure

dont get me wrong im not going to hang out with any hispters but their vibe down there is 1 million times cooler than the hipsters down east passyunk or the LES....those are straight docuhebags...i guess mountain hipsters >> city hipsters because i farging adored asheville...so much so that id seriously consider retiring there (half the year)

Going home to PA in August and while I am there a few of my family and I are going down to Cape May. I haven't been down there in about 10 years. Spent a week looking for a good hotel along the promenade and Beach Ave...jesus farging christ are they expensive.

$379 a night!

For a mom & pop type joint--so we're not talking some JW Marriot type place.

Gonna hit up Vegas one weekend in September too. Probably the 12th-17th...gotta burn the last few vacation days before my time resets in October. And this time I will be bubble wrapping myself a month before so I have no broken bones, torn ligaments or whatever else could happen. So if any of you fellas wanna go I will be there in full blown degen mode.

You're the biggest travel tease.

First Nashville, then New Orleans, then Vegas.

What we should do is organize a trip to Nicaragua and crash at Phatty's.

haha I know and I feel awful about that...especially the NO and Vegas ones. When I got back to PA and was watching the NO game on TV I was salty as farg. And for something to make me miss Vegas of all places then its gotta be bad.

I priced a stopover in Nicaragua in November when I come back from Peru...seems doable. Stay there for two days and hope no one machete's us

Got back from a NOLA trip, it was my 2nd time there and really fun.  The first time was a bachelor party so we didn't do much other than Bourbon Street.  This time I was with my wife so we did more touristy shtein like a swamp tour (cool), a haunted history tour (lame), and a historical carriage tour (cool).  We stayed in the city one night and stayed with our friends on the Navy Base in Belle Chase the rest of the time.  tried crawfish which I liked, had charred oysters for the first time which were great, and the last night at a place called Drago's and had lobster stuffed with crabmeat and it was phenomenal.

Did you do a tour of a haunted plantation or was the haunted history tour something different? Doing a haunted plantation is up there on my list of things I wanna do in NO

I did one of those "haunted" tours when I was in Gettysburg on a Teaching American History trip last year.  Can't compare it to the one in  New Orleans, but it was a complete tourist trap, other than the fact that it was the only way to get into the Jennie Wade House (Jennie Wade was the only civilian killed during the Battle of Gettysburg).  Hit my head on the damn steps - people were midgets back then.

I have to take my g/f there, and I have no interest in doing a haunted tour, but I do want to stay in one of the supposed haunted houses that they've turned into B&Bs.

New Orleans might be my favorite city in the US. Just edging Vegas. But I couldn't live in either.

I just moved to the beach today, town called San Juan del Sur. The reason I'm an idiot is because I came down here to kind of dry out from the shenanigans I've been getting into but this place is 10x worse. There's been a block party concert going on for the last 8 hours and ridiculous bikini clad girls very where.

In my head I was going to lay low in my little beach bungalow and get some shtein done but no. Instead I went to the biggest party spot in nica. Not complaining or bragging, just saying ho dumb I am. Ok maybe a little bragging.

No it was the French Quarter.  If they just called it a gruesome history tour or something it would have been fine, but the guide kept telling us to take pictures and look at them later for weird lights or supernatural activity...right.  The most time was spent outside Madame Lalaurie's house because 1) she's the best/famous story and 2) she's even more famous after the past season of american horror story.
