I’m in NOLA with @RachaelJoyTV

This is part 3 of the SXSW and Beyond road trip. And this part involves getting my friend Rachael Joy to Washington DC. She is moving there from Oakland. If you’ve been checking out my blogs or tweets, you know that we stopped in Austin for SXSW interactive conference. Now we’re off for the last section of our journey. We stopped in New Orleans for some food, drink and magic. New Orleans has been full of unexpected adventures. Art and music are just part of every day here. I tried to capture some moments to share with y’all.

So many friends, recommended Cafe Dumonde for coffee and a plate full of French pastries called beignets… so that’s how we started today. I must admit… it was a little late in the morning for me to get my first cup of coffee, so I was cranky and scattered, but once our order arrived, the universe was right again. Also want to shout out to Bob from Alaska for letting us share a table with him.

    Great moment to capture. I am jealous of your travels. The way that band operates is a great example of crafting an experience that involves your audience. Huge crowd around them. It looks quite sunny as well. Are we going to get to see more before you get back?

    Hi Adam! Yeah, we're here for the morning tomorrow then off on the rest of our adventure. You are absolutely right, thought… the experience was all encompassing! The band got everyone involved… and the energy was great. Hey, thanks for leaving a comment! I'm so glad to share the experience. –sukhjit

    New Orleans feel a cool city with Jazz music culture. And they have Beignet and good coffee like in France ;-) .
    I think i will have a lot of city to visit for my next travel in USA but not sure i will have enough tie for that.

    I know what you mean about time… I wish we had been able to stay there for more than 2 days. We only saw a very small bit of New Orleans… but now that I've been there once.. I would like to go back for a longer trip.
