Patron XO Cafe Noir secret party

Ok so while I was on duty covering VooDoo Fest in New Orleans for one of my many, many jobs my editor gets invited to a secret party hosted by Patron but he doesn't live in Louisiana anymore so he shot me the invite and I was put on the list. So first of all I had to be a secret agent to get my wristband, the email I received told me to be a certain spot at a certain time to get the wristband and I would get actual directions from there and then when I'm at the certain place at the certain time I get my wrist band and a cup of coffee with the directions cleverly hidden on the cup holder of the coffee.So after my James Bond stint I made my way to the party which was at a Wax Museum -which was awesome- and the rest was an official launch party to the new XO Cafe Noir line of liquor from Patron and there were free samples all around. Upstairs was an open bar and live entertainment from a jazz band and dancers. People were mingling and drinking and it was just a great time...hopefully I get more Cloak and Dagger style missions to go to parties...it was awesome lol here are some pics.

Oh yea.

California Pizza Kitchen Dinner Date

Well me and my ex went on a lil dinner date -as friends- to California Pizza Kitchen off of Perkins Rowe here BR about a month ago and we argued over who was gonna pay...(I won, so I paid lol) and it was so good so I decided to blog about it and what we ate/drank.

First up was our appetizer: Spinach Artichoke Dip with those black and yellow tortilla chips...it was good.
Her ate up Pepperoni Pizza lol We both ate it and it was delicious...Highly reccommend it for first timers.
Her drink: Peach/Mango Sangria...really sweet and not overbearing at all must have for those who like sweet drinks with a small kick...I drank some too...and it was good I bought us another one lol.
My food: Four Cheese Ravioli...great for pasta lovers (like me) and veggie fiends lol it was really good just needed a lil dash of salt and it was rollin!!....it was so awesome.
My drink: Chocolate Kiss Kiss Mojito...Didn't want to get it at first cause it sound really girly (with two snaps and a circle) and usually chocolate and alcohol doesn't mix well but I was surprised it was so good and made me want more. P.S. the waiter talked me into it and I'm glad he did.
 Well thats my review of our dinner, it was kind of on the expensive side but that was mainly due to us being alcoholics buying drinks but trust me when I say it was well worth it. Great atmosphere, right next to the movie theater , and the waiters are grade A. So check the place out when you get a chance...and take a date too!!
