The most cool was a private concert with Jewel. Merrill Lynch set up a concert with Jewel at a museum in New Orleans. We had dinner first with traditional New Orleans food, like gumbo. About 80 people attended and it was a really good show. She is an amazing singer and she was very funny too. She played some old favorites, some of her new country stuff and even some songs that she has not released. It was very fun.
One night I went to the French Quarter with a guy I met at the conference to see a jazz band. It was a pretty big jazz band with about 10 players, a full grand piano and an absolutely crazy drummer, whose solos I really enjoyed. The French Quarter was pretty crazy. We were there on a Tuesday evening and Bourbon Street was still filled with people drinking and partying to cover bands -- kind of weird to see so much action on a Tuesday night. After the jazz band, we watched some karaoke at the Cats Meow and then headed back to the hotel.
Foodwise, my favorite was the charbroiled oysters at Drago's. I didn't really eat anything else that was amazing or worth mentioning.
Lastly, there was a booth set up at the conference to have our golf swings analyzed by a golf pro. She videoed me from the side and the back as I swung, and then showed me where I was loosing power. It appeared so obvious from the video what I was doing wrong. I can't wait to get to the driving range and see if I can get some extra distance out of my driver.
So that's it for New Orleans. The other nights I just ordered room service and did some work or watched a movie. Sometimes peace and quite is just what I need anyway.
We had a very fun Halloween! But I am sure Shelley will update you on that and put up some pics of our paint job yesterday of our living room. Shelley picked out a blue/grey, and I admit I was dubious about it. Of course, it looks great. Shelley has an excellent eye for color.
