    One of the many times I have ended up on the patio at mid-day at Pat O's I was with my dad (rip) and a couple of my best friends on the planet. What an awesome memory. (Even if we all looked like we lined up to blow a bunch of clowns when we left! That is the worst thing about Hurricanes; your mouth is stained red for the rest of the day.)

    You need a few of these...

    They do, in fact, solve everything!

    Speaking of, you know you can order the mixes online? I've done it before and they're delish. Currently have a Mardi Gras discount going! http://www.fat-tuesday.com/site.php


    Yes. It's a well known medical FACT that a few of those will solve any problem. :lol:

    Ordering those to have at home might be a little dangerous for me. :think:

    Seriously?? That's BS! So sorry to hear that :( I think you need a bachelorette party re-do and should get all the forum ladies together!

    yes, seriously. :x I didn't even partake in their 'festivities'. I would LOVE a bachelorette re-do! :D

    and DS, have I told you about my Hurricane story? It's not pretty. (I DID have an authentic Pat O'Brien's in NO...I think there's a pic of me out in front of it)


    I do not know the Hurrican story and would love to hear it. :shock:

    I'll tell the hurricane story when I get back...I have to go to the chiro now.

    Don't think I could do that one.

    oh c'mon...it's a 'controlled descent' so basically like a vertical zip-line

    anyway....my hurricane story:
    Got a Hurricane at the Hard Rock since they served them in the sippy cups that come with a lanyard. Gotta walk around bar to bar with a drink in hand at least once right? So, I finished it, wasn't feeling so good, and got stuck on Bourbon street, trying to go thru all the people...then suddenly some random guy grabs my ass, I turn around and start yelling at him (I am the only female in a group of 4), then some other drunk guy starts stumbling and falling and tries to use me as a crutch...well, I'm a short little person, and I go down...land in the gutter which is filled with what they call 'Bourbon Street Sludge', well just getting that close to the sludge will make anybody start to retch...I couldn't stop. Thank goodness I held it all down...I was able to make a clear path because I screamed "I'm gonna puke!" got the hell outta there, got dumped off at the hotel room for the rest of the night. I think I threw those jeans away.

    I have another hurricane story that coincidently includes another Hard Rock. :oops:
