Texas Ave., Bryan Long Iohn Silvers SEAFOOD SHOPPES 13 hours in city of sin By JULIA NUNNALLEE and KAYE PAHMEIER Reporter Bourbon Street and Pat O' Brien's. Drag queens, strip shows and live, hot jazz. The French Quarter that turns into an all-night street dance. Or so we thought. We were traveling in search of adventure. One night in New Orleans. Arrival time: 8:00 p.m. Saturday. Departure time: 9:00 a.m. Sunday. Riding the bus from the air port to Bourbon Street, it was obvious this trip was going to be a real cultural experience. One couple on the bus spoke only French. Another couple (both male) used an abundance of words such as "lovely" and "di vine" while flapping the leather around their wrists. The driver, Ralph, had dropped out of col lege to find himself. Time to get nervous. We got off the bus and headed into a restuarant Ralph had sug gested, only to find he had very expensive taste. The waiter di rected us and our limited budget down the street to Maspero's, a crowded sandwich joint with dollar strawberry daquiris. The taste buds screamed for some thing cajun, but settled for medi ocre catfish on wheat toast. We left the restuarant and walked down Decatur Street to Jackson Square, which seemed to be the G-rated version of Bourbon Street. Turning down St. Anne Street, we passed the Cathedral of St. Louis and the Presbytere, both built in 1850. Ask anyone who has been to New Orleans what appeals most to them about the French Quar ter and you will, of course, get many different answers —night clubs, shopping, food, atmo sphere. That's all there but what makes the area unique is the ar chitecture. But the historic beauty of the buildings seemed lost in the surrounding neon lights. We walked towards The Street in nervous anticipation. Would we be attacked by a jealous drag queen demanding designer loaf ers? Or would a band of crazed cajuns kidnap and feed us only crawdads and red beans? Hardly. The most dangerous proposition of the night came from a Memphis insurance salesman named Rodney. As for the sexiest male stripper, any one could see female impersona tors strip inside the bars from the street, but we didn't want a man that had a better set of boobs than we do. Bourbon Street began to look highly overrated. The first bar we came across had a crowd of very drunk peo ple hanging out of the windows. Intrigued, we went in and or dered a beer. One of the inebri ated strangers leered from across the oar and began to drool bourbon from one corner of his mouth. The crazed cajuns had us cornered! No, wrong again. Just a bunch of fraternity uys from the University of Ala- ama. Experiencing Bourbon Street requires hearing at least one jazz band. We went into Crazy Shir ley's, a run-down bar that poured jazz music out into the street. Why, it was Johnny Horne and the Jazz Giants. They were O.K., but Shirley stole the show. She's this tiny, bleached- blond grandmother that can pound the hell out of the ivories. No wonder it's her saloon. Around the corner from Shir ley's was the "busiest tavern in the world," Pat O'Brien's. We found a table at the back of the beer garden where a waiter tried to sell us a limited edition World's Fair hurricane glass. One of only 20,000 left. A bar gain that had to be turned down. The busiest tavern looked pre tty sparse by 3:30 a.m., We de cided to take a final stroll down The Street, hoping the late hour would bring out what where be ginning to seem like mythical drag queens. We went back to Pat O'Brien's for a beer. The friendly 5 a.m. policemen came in and told ev eryone the party was over. A hefty blond poured a Marine into a taxicab, escaping his last swipe for her chest. We called the bus service to take us back to the airport. They would not pick up at a bar, only at a hotel. No fools, here. We weren't about to walk back down Bour bon Street this late. We caught the attention of a guy driving a car that said "U.S. Navy" on the door. He said he'd take us the two blocks to the Holiday Inn. After all, he said, he'd been driv ing around drunk for three hours trying to remember where he left his general. It's a nice to know you're in good hands.
