conv: I was buying some beer and smokes with a couple of old friends of mine. They were in from out of town and we had been partying in an abandoned lot with a bunch of my in town friends. On our way back from the gas station_comma_ we heard some noise_comma_ and went through a hole in the fence to find a full blown speakeasy! I honestly think New Orleans is one of the most exciting places to live in the US. You never know what you are going to find around the corner. Yes_comma_ it does seem like a fun place. I would love to go to the Mardi Gras. Mardi Gras is great_comma_ but stuff happens every day. One time I was showing some friends around from out of town_comma_ and we heard some voices on the other side of a fence. We ducked through a hole_comma_ and found a bar with a full band playing - complete with couples swing dancing! That sounds like a lot of fun! I wish I would have seen it!
