post 305. new orleans, 8.21.

my first bar, dixie taverne, in mid-city. if you look close enough, you can see the water line through the middle of the sign, above my head.

the organization that gave me a 2.9 gpa. go privateers, etc etc.

the 9th ward's new temporary levee. this is the area that busted open and let the mississippi rush through like reggie bush though opponent's defensive lines. there are signs all around the area asking for witnesses to the event; but seeing the houses here i would have to imagine that if you were across the street from this breaking open, you weren't long for this world no matter what you saw or heard. all the following pictures are from the ninth ward, which jessica and riz said wasn't looking as bad as it did; there are construction vehicles around and a lot of bulldozed lots.








jessica and i start our day reproducing a bad marvin sease album cover at the joint. ...always Smokin'
