Parrain,
After-Parties are usually better than the parties themselves (smirk) and I know that parties at Ampersand are usually quite cool & exclusive......

So, could you possibly throw a couple comp invites to the A.P. at Ampersand my way, perhaps...? (I've got Italian in me too, my Parrain....)

I can pass by your club on Bourbon anytime between now and then to pick them up, if you're cool with that.

My email address is Gene@Tripsmarter.com.
You can communicate with me via my email from here on.
I'm the VP/GM of N.O.TV - The Visitor Information Station seen in 27,500 hotel rooms (112 Hotels) around town. We should meet eachother at the very least....

How 'bout it, my Parrain?
By the way....your balcony decorations look great! Saw 'em today.

Thanks!
-Gene Sausse
