Colleen Kane finds Flaming Fire in a New Orleans Haunted House





There's an amazing speakeasy in New Orleans called "The Pearl Lounge" run by the unofficial mayor of the city, MC "Jay" Trachiotomy on Sunday nights. It's hard to sum up how cool Jay is, but his house is as amazing and labyrinthingly complex and awesome as he is, and that's where the bar is. It's scary and really inviting at the same time, and everywhere you look there's some something incredible --  an eight foot mechanical ostrich, two box pianos from the 1700s,  a working WWI air raid siren, etc. Acres of this stuff.  And a really delicious taco truck.  Anyway, our pal Colleen Kane bumped into Flaming Fire when we were playing with MC Permafrost Subzero at the venue and crashing there for a couple days, and does a pretty great job of describing why the Pearl Lounge is the greatest place on earth.
