I love when the bars are busy. We are going into Fanfare ( Nashville) and RotRally (Austin). The Vegas bar is going through a renovation and their reopening party is June 6th. So weird to start booking my flights out of San Diego. ( and expensive). No idea when the NY bar will be installed. I asked Kevin to take pictures of the new NY bar that he built in his garage. He sent a series of weird pictures of...

The Memphis anniversary was a disaster. What could go wrong did go wrong. We are putting together a group of coyotes to go to an event in Honduras. Not as easy as it seems. The girls have to be top notch dancers , possibly sing as well. That truly cuts our choices down. Then once we identify those girls they have to have a passport. Oh brother. Nothing is easy. Where the hell did all the real dancers go? I...

Wow wonderful people in my life. Leslie threw a surprise moving away party for me. All the important people in my life were there. Even Jackson kept it a secret for weeks. Axel and all the Kenner Boxing Club kids came. The mom's that have been my friends here. And of course my 3 rocks, Chantel, Judy, and Leslie. Of course Coyote corporate came but I think they just wanted to go to Bourbon. An absolutely beautiful goodbye. Well.... then...

[caption id="attachment_3160" align="alignnone" width="225"] Kevin shit faced drunk[/caption]I need to start drinking water before Kevin lands and we head out with Leslie, Chantel, and Joe. " pace yourself" is a motto Kevin does not have. I really want to see The Chris Owens Burlesque show. It's been a staple in New Orleans for years and I have never gone. Something creepy and awesome about seeing an 80 year old woman doing burlesque. I met her at a function in New...

Coincidence or not? I lived in NY during 9/11. I lived in New Orleans during Katrina. I took my son to Disney World and we were hit by a hurricane while we were there. Last year I was in Key West during Hurricane Isaac and was in New Orleans when Isaac hit as well. Now I opened a business and bought a home in San Diego and there are fires within 20 miles of my house. WTF? Nature is bigger...

Eerily quiet at work. Calm before the storm. Not sure what storm. Moving in 2 weeks. I hate packing.

Oh no Kevin is coming here Friday for a "Lil is leaving New Orleans blow out". I feel the hangover before it even starts. Let's do it. Say goodbye to New Orleans Coyote and hit all the seedy places on Bourbon St. Kevin has not sent me one picture of the NY bar. I am dying to see it. Calm day today.

Tommy brought his mom a present. "mom it gets 7 mpg and kevin flips out if you get it dirty." So many happy mother's day wishes. Pretty incredible. Jackson and I had a great day today. I have a great son!! Perhaps I will fly to work this week. Ah which bar should I go to?

Good conquers evil. Do you know how wonderful it is to sit back and read so many incredibly supportive comments from our regulars ,Gay and straight, round and square, hairy and bald, short and tall. This one sad, angry person through her act of complete dishonesty has actually brought so many of our current employees and former employees together today. Old regulars and current regulars have texted me and emailed me. I am truly blessed ! Today I will give...

I am laughing so hard. A lesbian couple has tried to malign us on Facebook saying we are against the gay community. All of our lesbian bartenders and customers are defending us. It's a Facebook battle! LOL I love this!! It's so ridiculous it's funny!!! To all our gay/lesbian customers and staff unite against this injustice. By the way I was a lesbian for 1 night in my 20s and if I don't find a decent man soon who knows...

I woke up to this email "Next time I see you... I am motorboating the shit out of you!!" Thanks Chandler . We made some changes at the Vegas bar. Happy that the staff is happy. Ok let's make some miracles happen

My gratitude goes out to Kevin today. He has built the "new" NYC bar in his garage. I told him I wanted to be closed as little as possible so why not build the new bar offsite? So cool. I am trying to get him to take a picture. So many people have asked for a small piece of the bar as a remembrance so we were thinking of bringing it to Atlanta and having him make frames from the...
