So True!

Ol’ Skool for Video for a great band!

The Get-up Kids!  Classic!

Well this Tuesday was of course Fat Tuesday (The first day of Mardi Gras) and I wanted to celebrate.  I did some research and found a newly opened place in sparks called “Jazz Cajun Cafe”.  This place was slammin!  They had live music and from what I was told, the live band place every night and the decoration was as close to authentic as possible but the real test was the FOOD.  I am a huge fan of Cajun / Southern food; i was raised in Dallas, TX so when it comes to good Cajun food, I can be quite the critic.  Well, I must say that the food was PAR but for the people that are looking for a great experience and a good introduction into the cooking flavors of the Cajun Lands, head down to “Jazz Cajun Cafe”.  During our visit at “Jazz Cajun Cafe” we had Boiled Crawfish, Alligator Fritters & Jambalaya….see scorecard below.

SCORE CARD (4+’s being the highest score):

Crawfish: ++

Alligator Fritters: ++

Jambalaya: ++

P.S. THE HOT SAUCE WAS “BOMB!” Especially if you like Lousiana Style (Tomatoe – Vinegar  Based) Sauce!- NO DOUBT

WOW..WOW..WOW…I have always been a Fan of John Mayer but I recently watched his live DVD titled ” Where the Light is. Live in LA”.  John Mayer is one of the most talented musicians of my lifetime and I only expect him to continue to keep me guessing on his musical explorations.  This song, ” In my atmosphere” was THE song that got the attention of the world when he was coming up.  Most people have never heard this song because it isn’t featured on any of his albums but was frequently performed in the local bars of Atlanta, Georgia during 2000-2003.  This song is EXACTLY why John Mayer is a great Song Writer and Musician.  PERFECT!

During the weekend in Chico, Me and the boys (Trav, Sinner and Timmy) went to a local breakfast spot called “The Morning Thunder”.  The Morning Thunders is a retro style breakfast joint with classic American staples such as Huge Pancakes, Omelltes and Bagel Sandwhiches.  Most of there dishes are accompanied by a healthly portion of fried Red Potatoes.  I had the Denver Omelette which was awesome.  If your are ever in Chico and want to start your day off with a nice breakfast…Definately go to the Morning Thunder!

I had a chance last weekend to spend some time in Chico, CA with my buddies from College.  We woke up a bit Hung over on Saturday morning and had a serious hankrin’ for some greasy food so we walked downtown to this place called “WoodStock Pizza”.  Of course the menu was huge but we decided to settle on a pizza called “The Meat Orgy”…LOL.  All I can say was WOW….Very Meaty and Very Greasy.  Of course we each had a liter of beer with the Meat Pie which made for the perfect addition to a hung over Saturday. Overall the pizza was good but the GREASE content was a bit much towards the 3rd slice. Would I eat here again?….Yes but only if I am hung over…ha ha ha.

Another great song from Coldplay! Though this song is simple in lyrics and musical structure…it is somethimes the simple things that have the greatest effect on someone. Great song…Great Lyrics.
