HENDERSON, Nev. — I have a tendency to be disappointed. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not a glum person. I’m laid back for the most part. But I tend to set my expectations too high at times. And when reality diverges widely from expectations … well, that’s when disappointment happens.
What is this all leading to? Good question. I made my first ever trip to In-N-Out Burger tonight in Las Vegas.
What? You thought I was going to riff on Sin City at the top of this screed? Ha. Nope. This ain’t journalism. I can bury the lede. But not too deep. I wouldn’t want to, uh, disappoint you, fair reader.

I didn’t set out to chronicle bestselling author Tucker Max’s signing event last month when I walked into Powell’s Bookstore in Portland. I just wanted to find a book to read on the plane flight back to Louisiana a few days later.
But the protest outside the store grabbed my attention. It wasn’t the number of protestors, but their signs and chants that sparked my curiousity. Their words were angry, even cartoonishly so in some instances.
I am a 27-year-old journalist living in NYC. Prior to that I lived in south Louisiana and Portland. I blog about music, New Orleans Saints and LSU football, and what it's like to be a Cajun living in the fast-paced world of NYC.
