Well folks, it’s about that time again, heading on back to New Orleans for Tales of the Cocktail 2009!
Sunday morning, around midnight, I’m catching the Red Eye and spending 8 hours on a plane headed out to 90+ degree weather and 90+% humidity. I am totally my wife’s favorite husband for her to be accompanying me.
At Tales, I’ll be taking part in the Cointreau Apprentice Program, a sort of who’s who of who wants to work while on vacation. I can be found at the Molecular DNA of Classic Cocktails, Sugar: Science of Sweet, and Are your Bitters Better sessions, as well as a few parties and other events. I’m really looking forward to working with some of the best bartenders/suckers from across the country!
I’ll also be doing a piece or two for Tales Blog, a collaboration of cocktail bloggers from across the country getting together to drink, write, and sweat out a week of summer down in New Orleans.
I’ll be posting tweets from the events over on the sidebar, or follow me on twitter.
Hope to see you there!

Suckers is right! Good times, friend, I’m looking forward to getting together with you and David soon for a shot and a beer (dunno if I can look a cocktail in the face for a few days.)
