Rock N Bowl What a night:-)

Tonight a few of us along with our two amazing and 'hip' (LOL) professors went to a local NOLA spot called Rock N Bowl. And after many experiences with or sights of racial divides during our trip in certain communities, we found every ethnicity dancing with someone from a different background, even young dancing with old. The bowling alley is not what I am used to anywhere else. To think there were no fancy score monitors and someone had to write the scores by hand! :-o This place was different, yet amazing! There was a live band playing that night called MVP and Nu Step- one word AMAZING music. One guy was playing on a washboard, there were drums, guitarist and the lead vocalist had about 4 different accordions! We literally forgot about bowling and danced all night! The music was a combination of R&B with zydeco. The locals were so friendly, one woman took my hand to teach me how to move New Orleans style, because instead of doing their "Mississippi stomp(?)" I was doing the Electric Slide:-/ They looked similar:-) Anyway, that night we bowled, danced, and fell in love ~ with New Orleans :-)
