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...
