Buzz Ballz

Yes! We have another novelty alcoholic beverage: Buzz Ballz. Not blue balls or anything from Dr. Evil, just 20% booze in your favorite flavors to get the party started. I just saw these in New Orleans for the first time so I'm not sure if they are available in K-town or not - I'm just not that hip or "with it". It really isn't that surprising to see, this kind of kind of newbie-marketing happens all the time. There is always a new batch of 21 year olds (or younger) getting their drink on, and tooters, jello shots, fruity wine coolers, frozen pouches and party balls have been around for decades. I doubt it will change anytime soon and I'm glad.

A few other snaps from NOLA:

Beerfest!

Lucky Dog for dinner, mmmm.

Last but not least - Yo Mama's, home of many an embarrassment for yours truly. And others, lots of others - you know who you are.

EDIT:

Here are a few more pics and notes about my visit to New Orleans - much lazier than creating a new post!



Met some cool folks from Memphis there with ties to Knawksville



Famous Door G & T - famous for overpriced drinks! Good times though.



No lights no problem

 

Erin Rose - outside lighting caused too much damn glare.

Dated sign inside Erin Rose

Yes, that is a working payphone



Keg seats kick ass at Erin Rose

EDIT II:

I forgot a few nice ones...
