Off we go to New Orleans!

[xiphias]

Lis and I are going to a professional conference for me. It's a chance for me to learn more bartending skills, learn about the new products coming on line, and, most importantly, network. She's re-formatted my resume into a brochure; I'll probably post a copy of the PDF when we get back.

The conference is called "Tales of the Cocktail", and is hosted by the Museum of the American Cocktail in New Orleans.

Remember: This Are Serious Conference. I Are Serious Bartender. We are NOT doing this in order to hang out with cool geeky bartenders who are all into historical re-creation drinks, creative flavors, molecular mixology, and other cool things, while drinking yummy alcoholic drinks in one of North America's greatest cities.

Well, okay. We are not ONLY doing this to . . .

I'll tell you all about it when we get back.

Oooh. It may be a serious conference, but it looks like there's some seriously good eatin' to be had in connection with it, too. Check out chefcdb's journal - if your food plans aren't all set, you may still be able to get reservations through the conference.

Have funa productive educational experience!

If you get a chance, check out the National D-Day Museum. It's downtown and luckily, during Katrina, no one looted it. Has a hell of a selection.

That sounds like such excellent fun. And you know, it is possible to have a ball being a professional (scientists do it quite regularly).
