Dirty Linen Night

Hi all..

Hope you have a fun and uneventful weekend!

I had a good weekend too in New Orleans style..

Friday evening was dinner at a frends place. thanks to one of my frend who is leaving for Baltimore for Phd I get invited to all his good bye dinners..

And Saturday I went for the Dirty Linen Night. Nola is full of parties and I think they don't need an excuse for a party. So Dirty Linen Night is basically in response to the White Linen Night that takes a week before. Since Aug is a slow month for Nola in terms of tourists (owing to the hurricane and all) the New Orlenas Art warehouse association holds white linen night on Juliet street where all the art galleries are free and open to the public. You get good deals at the art work of famous and budding artists, you also get to see artists showing their work right there. Juliet street has some of the most expensive and famous art galleries of nola so the street is closed and it almost is a pedestrian mall where you can venture around galleries. People have to wear white (I don't know why except maybe cuz its classy) and there is great music and stuff..

Dirty linen night started 8 years back as a response to white linen where galleries at the Royal street said why should we miss out on this and so they named it dirty linen night. People are encouraged to wear the same linen they wore for white linen which is stained with wine and dirty and come and have fun..

Now the great thing bout dirty linen is tht the galleries serve free wine and food..So Sandra (my frend) and me had tons of white wine, then red, then champagne, then there was a beer keg, also free pizza..so all in all its fun..We checked out some of the most amazing art stuff and ofcourse I kept on getting wine glasses for Sandra..for every glass Sandra had to say "isn't it awesum to be having free liquor" ?? Well..me not being quite a drinker dint have much to say but I must tell you Americans have sumthing about free food and liquour..they will go any place, wud do nything for free food..I mean I know Indians have this whole thing bout free liquor too but its a bit too much with Americans..they would help you move ur stuff if you have beer to offer them..they wud come to ur temple gathering not understanding a word but cuz there is free dinner after the sermons..they would call u up and say lets go to this place..hey cuz there is free food..

Also it was the red dress run day in nola on saturday morning, so in the evening when we went for dirty linen there were men all over dressed in red dresses and sneakers..the history of red dress run is a bit too long to be writing here so you can google it if interested to know..what I can tell you is that men and women dress up in red dresses and when I say dresses I mean dresses..u wil see men in red skirts, frocks, long dresses and sneakers and they run a trail of almost five miles and so the end is celebrated with crazy amount of beer in the end..so french quarter where dirty linen happened was swarmed by men in red..I will put sum pics on facebook for you guys to see...

tht was a good weekend..

and I saw the ugly truth on thurday last week which was an amusing movie..the script seemed to be "inspired" from one of the hindi movies..guy helps the gal trap another guy cuz she likes him and in the process falls for her himself..but it was funny...it was definitely a raunchy comedy with a lot of penis and vagina thrown in but it was fun...I think it released in India and if any of you gals like Gerard Butler then u must not miss the movie..

speaking of which at the cost of sounding crass, Sandra asked me if Indian men are good in bed and verbatim her question was "Mills I have heard brown men have small p....".. Is that true?? Are they good in bed?? When she comes up with these kind of questions out of the blues I have to collect my thoughts before I answer her..

@Anubhav: I can only see your twitter updates but can not access it..Is there an article you have been writing there or is it just an update..M clueless about Twitter and m sure that shows..
