At the home office — I’m attempting to accomplish life’s most important work. No distractions allowed. No blogging. No tweeting. No hipster hats. Kanye-style.
The door is closed.
A single fuck, the cat gives not.
Stable is that step backwards between successful and failing.
— Pete Campbell in an episode of Mad Men (“A Little Kiss”)

Midway through her show in a hot-as-hell packed house, Dessa requests that her fans refrain from catcalling when she takes off her sweater.

Previously: March march, a New Orleans wedding and Mississippi River, a view from French Quarter.
My first time in New Orleans! I tried to visit back in October, but couldn’t fit it in my schedule. But I’m really glad I got the opportunity now. The laid-back attitude is infectious and reminiscent of Portland — Exactly what I needed after a few months in New York City. I hope to find myself wandering those streets again.

Throwback chat from exactly one year ago
- Sara: I’m sick. Sound like a man
- Chris: An effeminate man, old man or burly cigar smoking man?
- Sara: Cigar
- Chris: If you said one of the others I could’ve said “Close, but no cigar.” This potentially droll moment ruined by You.
