(Note: It’s 11:47 PM Wednesday and I’m drunk, so although I’m calling Thursday “tomorrow” you might want to think “today.” Also, whoever it was who told me about the Bluez 57 Burger at Huey’s, thank you.)
The Peabody’s final rooftop party of the season is tomorrow night, with Cowboy Mouth providing the entertainment. Gringo Star will open, and DJ Mark Anderson will keep the party going during the breaks.
The best advice I can give you for this one is GO EARLY. When Cowboy Mouth has been here in past years, I’ve seen long lines waiting for the elevators as early as 7:15 PM.
Since Cowboy Mouth is the essence of New Orleans rock, the hotel has decided to go with a New Orleans food theme. On the buffet there will be Andouille sausage, red beans and rice, mini muffalettas, and jalapeno hush puppies. Those in VIP will find seafood gumbo, shrimp remoulade shooters, crawfish beignets, and chicken and onion beignets.
Popular New Orleans drinks, hurricanes and hand grenades, will be available at all bars. Having just had a hand grenade myself last month, I think that will definitely be on my drinking agenda if I hit the Peabody roof. Especially since I have Friday off… extra recovery time.
The Peabody’s beverage partner MillerCoors will donate 50% of proceeds from every Miller Lite sold to Ducks Unlimited, to support effords to clean up the mess BP made in the Gulf. Ducks Unlimited representatives will be at the party to share news about cleanup efforts, and to accept additional donations.
Because this is a big name band, cover will be a little bit higher for the season finale – $15 at the door. That still includes first drink. Ladies and hotel guests get in free before 7.
