The New Home

Well, we are getting settled in here. And so far the response from you has been deafening. Emails and servers are crashing like they are running fast through turn number three at Talladega. The bassets are pretty stoked about the new site. So stoked in fact, Penny has mastered the art of looking like a sleepy Abercrombie model.

A few months ago, Peter realized that New Orleans is a city where there is always something going on. But even more, you don't really realize it until the event is upon you. So Peter came up with the idea of having a calendar which would be your go to source for New Orleans culinary and drinking events. It's right there on the left. So if you are in charge of an event, your restaurant is running a special, or whatever, let us know and we will put in on the calendar. We hope you check it religiously and even stalk it a bit.

We got rid of a lot of the stuff along the margins, mainly cause it just looked messy. Our site design we think looks pretty dank (thanks to Designs by Kristy) and we hope you like it also. But if there is anything you notice, that our glassed over eyes may have missed, please let us know. We know about the hyperlinks, and are working on it.

So, as this blog has settled we have both begun gravitating towards our particular areas of interest. Peter writes more about restaurants and events, and I am writing more about cooking and wine. And we like this, but we want to hear from you. What are some areas you would like to read about? Are there any article you just can't stand? Any new feature ideas? Should The Pope go on a 30-day Cleanse?

We write this blog for two reasons: a) it is what our accountants tell us is a "tax loophole," and b) we truly love the thought that for a few minutes each day you read us rather than doing what you are supposed to be doing. So please let us know what you want to read.

Put up pictures of more athletic dogs. Also, a motorcycle article or two would be appreciated.

Less sports references but more obscure historical references from Rene. Sports don't seem to be his forte.

Make the Calendar a Google Calendar so I can add it to my regular calendar. Awesome idea btw.

Peter said...

Donnie Boy - Can you recommend someone with a hog that we can borrow?

Anon - I think it's safe to say that Rene never knew how much his history degree would pay off down the road.

KFunck - Blackened Out on the Town is a Google Calendar, so you should be able to interface it with your own. Hope you enjoy.

Less sports references? Is that Tom Fitzmorris?

You mean Rummel High School's most illustrious grad?
