I'm in New Orleans for Southern Decadence AMA

Any Speaker Mike Johnson sightings?

Have you seen any fat Des Moines bears getting fisted through the window while you were wolfing down a greaseburger at Clover Grill?

Have fun! I’m jealous. It must be kind of somber there right now with the 20 year Katrina anniversary.

Why would you worry about humidity if you're only wearing your underwear?

I hate the humidity

Don't go in that one bathroom, trust.

I've heard they offer midnight mass and confession in the back room of Rawhide.

Have you chatted up Tim Miller yet OP?

Are there any lemon squares.

Say hi to the Golden Lantern for me.

[quote]I love the humidi

OP, it's Boulder-level humidity compared to three weeks ago. JFC, South Louisiana was UNBEARABLE those 10 days, even for August.

Have you noticed any blisters on your manhood yet?

It’s so humid, my bush looks full rather than coiffed and manicured. I’m livid! I paid $70 bucks for it!

Have you met anyone nice while reclining saucily in the trough urinal at Café Lafitte in Exile?

Do the bars still have dick dancers?

New Orleans is repulsive.

If you're in the South you might as well take full advantage of the decadence.

Anyone have prolapse accidents?

Is your seersucker wash n wear?

Leather doesn't come in seersucker, silly!

Leather does come in corduroy, though.

Dirty little boys

Are your pits ripe, OP?

That event always seemed so poorly timed - why Labor Day weekend with all that heat and humidity? Why not Thanksgiving weekend when it is cooler, less humid and less crowded?

I don't understand it - I guess it is slightly better than July 4th? But I doubt it - end of August is awful in a lot of places in the South.

Even May would be great.

Don't forget The Phoenix Bar. And a good time was had by all. 🤘💖🥳✊🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄

Have you been mugged yet?

You're a whore among whores, darlin'.

The heat and humidity are basically the point. People strip down and get sweaty. By Monday everyone looks like a drowned rat.

New Orleans Reddit is abuzz with people saying “What happened? It’s now all straight girl dance troupes and families.”

[quote]Why not Thanksgiving weekend when it is cooler, less humid and less crowded?

That's too close to Halloween, which is another big gay NOLA party.

Also, Thanksgiving weekend has the Bayou Classic and that gets pretty crowded.

OP types like a whore

I think that's "that" bathroom R14

OMG R25 I cant believe the Phoenix is still kicking ! Lawsy Mae the nights I had in there ! I remember their Happy Hour would start at like 1 am . They wanted serious drinkers,not frat boys puking 3 drinks later. I met an absolutely adorable redneck blonde country boy in there that spent several weeks in my apt but ultimately I had to boot him because he was very fond of booze indeed. Shame,he was hung and a great fuck.

OP: hive your balls a really good scratch and then smell your fingers...

Sorry "give your balls..."

Too late. r35. I already hived them.

I’m curious what New Orleans in August is like.

Actually the dew point is only 60 degrees - and it looks like it was low 80s today with 75% humidity. Not awesome, but not horrible either. You can get that up north in August very easily.

You can't get Cajun spice BO up north.

Why @R16 There is a heavy feeling of sadness after Katrina

Katrina was 2 decades ago and billions were poured in to rebuild. Bupkes. The sadness should be about the losers in city government.

Went to my very first SD back in 1984, At the time is was more underground. It was crazy wild back in the mid 1980s. The NOLA PD pretty much left everyone alone. This was back in the plague era, so I suppose many of us thought we might as well go out with a bang. For those wondering why Labor Day Weekend; the origin story is attached

R42 - thanks for that. Kind of crazy it had such humble beginnings.

I'd love to go but one day is probably the max for me. And as I get older, my appreciation for crowds has shorter time limits. Oh well - will probably never go.
