Hey y’all,
Quinn here. I want to introduce you to Sno-La Snowball Lounge, located at 3204 Lake Villa Dr. Metairie, LA 70002.
A few weeks ago, Enjoli and I learned about a new snowball business that was doing something different: serving snowballs with a gourmet twist indoors complete with a lounge. We thought it sounded kind of cool and passed by. Let me tell you, this place is awesome!
Once we arrived, the familiar sounds of Ne-yo filled the room, comfortable lounge chairs and tables awaited us, the walls decorated with New Orleans Art and various pieces of Fleur de Lis’s caught our eyes, plus the cooling AC was a relief from 97°+ heat.
By the time we got to the counter to order our snowballs, we were already having fun. Looking over the menu, we decided on something different so we can sample each other’s, Enjoli got Strawberry Cheesecake and I tried Red Velvet Cheesecake. The snowballs themselves are rich and delicious. What makes these snowballs so good is that they were stuffed with actual cheesecake! Other flavors on the menu include Georgia Peach, Tiger’s Blood and limited sugar free flavors such as Granny Smith Apple, Lemonade and Chocolate. Also on the menu is Ice Coffee, assorted desert cakes and assorted candy, which can also be used as a topping for your snowball.
While enjoying our snowballs, we played a game of Jenga and listened to Michael Jackson, and basically chilled out.
What’s also great about this snowball lounge is it will be open
ALL
YEAR
ROUND!
Who can beat comfortable chairs, the escape from hot weather with cooling AC, music, board games and gourmet snowballs?
There is much fun to be had at Sno-La Snowball Lounge!(click image for more photos)
Anyone want to give this place a try with me?

Oops
Google goofed. Based on the information they have collected about me, they have concluded that I am a 35-44 year old man. I don’t feel any pressing need to correct them, though wonder if there would be a noticeable difference in the ads I see if I did.

The only thing worse than being sick and miserable is being sick and miserable and alone. Luckily Mr. Bingley is here to remind me that while I might be sick and miserable, I’m definitely not alone. And I believe him,look at that face: those are not the ears of a liar.

Mardi and Me
I named my new bike Mardi, for a couple of reasons, most of which are fairly obvious. One of the reasons I was motivated to go find him this weekend even though I am super busy and really wanted to go to Comic-Con was because Mardi Gras is coming up and I wan to be able to get around…due to road closures and general traffic, it will be hard to get around by car, so a bike seemed like a good idea.
Also, because I was walking around the Marigny while they were tuning the bike up and installing the pedals and baskets I wanted, and thinking how much I love Mardi Gras decorations. They are so pretty and fun, and it’s a really special thing. I feel a little bit like the true awesomeness of Mardi Gras is a secret for people who live (or have lived) in the city (except for maybe college students who might be too oblivious to notice).
People think of Mardi Gras as a big drunken party, and tourists come and flash each other in the streets— and there is that, definitely, but it’s really so so much more.
Anyways, Mardi is a little harder to ride than the cruiser I rented a few weeks ago, because I am still getting used to how to change the gears. But he’s way more comfy, and he’s pimped out with all the stuff I want, including a little grocery bag for running errands.
Since there’s no way I am ready to ride on Tchop or have the stamina to go to any of the major grocery stores, I am exploring all the food options around me, where I get get tuna salad and fruit and other staples. It is a fun way to get to know the city a bit better. He is the route we took today. It was 2.1 miles.
New bike! So excited to go for a ride tomorrow.
Well, I love you more than everything. But I can’t be in that city. Everything’s an illusion; that’s the whole thing about it- illusion, imitation, a mirage. Pagodas and palaces and skies, blondes and stars. It makes me too sad. It’s like having a good dream. You know you are going to wake up.
