TJones Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 clearly I missed out on some shenanigans at the Big Top. Sean Penn? Owls? Council Members?? I was about 2 blocks down from Big Top at some Irish Pub across the street from Molly's, went to Warren's for awhile, then stopped and got a couple of slices at some pizza joint on Travis.

sevfiv Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 that's a little more than a couple blocks, but you were probably at McElroy's...then Frank's Pizza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJones Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Frank's Pizza for sure. That is some EXCELLENT stuff. At least in my stuper it sure seemed like it. How far is Big Top, I don't remember the name of the bar we were in. I just remember that Molly's and some club named HEAT were across the street. How far is Big Top from that. I asked a cop and he said it was only a couple of blocks. A really nice, and pretty bartender named Meagan works at this Irish Pub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On second thought, I'm not sure I could keep up with you and your marine buddy, TJ!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

20thStDad Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 What's the white linen festival?It's pretty much the Heights 1st Saturday thing, but a little bigger, and everyone wears white linen (because it's so hot maybe?). We drove by last year, looked like a good time.http://www.heightsfirstsaturday.com/whitelinen.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJones Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Did TJ bring his classic Cutlass??TJ was in his OTHER gas guzzler. Ford Expedition. Cutlass is in the shop because of what was thought to be another thrown rod bearing, turned out to be melted plugwires and a couple of cracked sparkplugs. I don't know how it happened either. So, my garage pulled the engine and cracked it all opened for no reason. Good news is that I am throwing in a better torque converter and new HEI distributor and MSD ignition while I have it out.

It's pretty much the Heights 1st Saturday thing, but a little bigger, and everyone wears white linen (because it's so hot maybe?). We drove by last year, looked like a good time.http://www.heightsfirstsaturday.com/whitelinen.html actually, it's not quite the same. it's based on a traditional New Orleans event from the garden district. as i understand it, some business owners who re-loed after Katrina wanted to start it up here. there is live music and different events all over the heights (vs 1st saturday which is just on 19th). it's a great night. it's too bad about the vandalism last year, but that wasn't paryt goers- that was punk kids with pellet guns and eggs taking advantage of people trying to enjoy themselves and be a part of a community.

Thats why they have the free shuttle bus, to take residents to all the locales that have events going on. 19th is the most popular because of the Arts Market and abundance of quirky shop-ees in one spot, but many events take place place throughout. White Linen is a great party. This year, coming August 2nd, should be a blast. Last year we started off with 8-10 folks at my place then walked to Onion Creek before catching the shuttle to 19th for an extended evening of wine tasting, live music, and street dancing. Another great tradition within the Heights and yet another reason why I have no desire to live anywhere else in the city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you spoke too soon, as a secondary hijack is underway and in full strength. This is now the official unofficial all-Heights activities thread.

crunchtastic Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Just please don't try those linen trousers or shorts in white with no lining. Eww. I had a friend once who was looking for a linen Yanni Top (all loose and flowy) and ended getting a super large ladies swimsuit coverup. If you go really large, you make it a man-muu.
