Save The Dates

save the dates! May 3, 2018 they're here!! the friendly USPS gent dropped them off yesterday.  (i took the whole stack home yesterday and this was the only one i had at the office, hence the coffee ring...) so technically this is the second batch, because after ordering the first batch and waiting... waiting oh so patiently for them to arrive, the print was so small you couldn't read it. (#selfpublishprobs) a quick chat with VistaPrint.com support and not only did they replace my order, even though technically it was my mistake, the rep found *two* typos... they shipped them express and two days later i have shiny new ones and you can actually read them. moral of the story: use VistaPrint.com for e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g. this is real, ya'll.  #notatest #weareactuallygettingmarried #likeforreal

April 2018: new orleans April 26, 2018 a few friends have asked about our New Orleans trip lately. so i'm leaving this here, to set the scene, because new orleans. it's hard not to write about the nature of mankind once you're there and a drink or two in...  {The Julep Talking}   The well-worn streets stretch on for miles if you walk them in circles. The familiar blends with the unknown until the familiar comes back into view. The city is awash in an exotic blend of cultures and creeds- hippies who protest civilization by refusing to bathe, the classy girl with her elegant style and poise paying no heed to the chaos in symphony around her, the journalist and his girlfriend vying for an edge, the loud crowd, the weekend parties, the old man sitting in the crowded cafe- cliches piled so high you become one just by breathing the same air. The music, perpetuated between stages and cafes by little boys who sit beating a bucket in tribal thudding until
