On this haunted ghost pub crawl, I met this awesome woman from Australia! She is really cool! never mind, she told me after tonight's tour that I was stupid to think she actually had an interest in me and that she was just using me to buy her drinks. Seriously?? Dude, that is ridiculous! That chick should consider herself lucky to have the opportunity to hang out with you... Honestly, the way that some people treat others these days... Just makes me shake my head... Keep the faith and carry on, my friend... You deserve someone that appreciates all you have to offer... Because it's a lot.

Alas, some people are users. Sorry to hear about that. I guess I am just having Hard Times, Hard Times in New Orleans. Hard Times is thinking you met an incredible woman and then finding out she was just using you to get free alcohol. Hard Times, Hard Times in New Orleans.

Overall though I am actually having a good time in New Orleans.
I slept on the flight almost the entire time here yesterday morning. Before the flight, the airline staff woman said it was time for my section (Section 1) to get on the plane but I told her I was going to get in the plane instead of on the plane as I am not Evel Knieval (it is a joke I have used before when they tell me to get on the plane.) My hotel (the Sonesta) is actually within walking distance and even within sight of the National WWII Museum and I went there yesterday after going to lunch at a nearby restaurant where I had a crab sandwich. Overall I think I liked it even better than the National WWI Museum in Kansas City (also a great museum!) which I went to in 2018 on my way to Waterloo. They reduced the cost of my admission ticket when I told them that I teach World History.
Afterward, I went to the hotel's fitness center. The fitness center does not have much but I did cardio for an hour while getting caught up on the latest episode of Andor.
I then went down to the French Quarter area (I took a Lyft but it turns out I could have walked it as it was only about a mile away from my hotel.) I had dinner at a place called Landrys where I had a great oyster Po Boy sandwich (New Orleans is known for their Po Boys, I get my Po Boys without pickles) and a Voodoo beer. I then went next door for the start of the New Orleans Haunted History Pub Crawl.
On the Pub Crawl, I think I accidentally pissed off the tour guide lol as he kept asking easy questions that only I as a World History teacher knew the answer to such as when was the Louisiana Purchase (1803 under Thomas Jefferson,) what type of architecture are the balconies in the French Quarter (Spanish but most people think they are French,) who was Jean LaFitte (a pirate who helped the US during the War of 1812,) etc.
Some of the places on the haunted tour stop included Pirates Alley (which is located right by the St. Louis Cathedral which is the oldest still-active church in the US) where I had Pirate Alley's famous drink Absinthe, to Jean LaFitte's bar (the oldest active bar in the US where I had a Hurricane,) and the outside of the Lalaurie Mansion (said to be haunted by former slaves and later purchased by Nicholas Cage who blindly told his agent he wanted to buy the tallest available structure in the French Quarter and he ended up with the Lalaurie Mansion.) We also went to a place where the tour guide told us about the vampire legends of New Orleans. After the Haunted Pub Crawl, I took a Lyft home and soon afterward I fell asleep (I did not sleep at all last night except for on the plane here.)
I slept for I think almost 10 hours. Today I am going to Hard Times. I plan to be there when the doors open at 5 for the preshow meet and greet.

I tried to make a post with a photo on the Fisligner GAmwes Promoter Facebook page about tonight's show but it says I need admin approval for my post to get through. Hopefully my post will get approved.

yeah, we will see what happens It was just a photo of my autographed Harley Race black and white card with me saying I hope to show it Trevor Murdoch tonight at Hard Times in New Orleans but Facebbok sent me a notification that my post won't be published without admin approval. I am not sure if I broke a group Facebook rule or not. If I did, I apologize.
