NOLA (New Orleans, Louisiana – for those of you who have been wondering what that means) is a big part of Nola Nerd Couple’s lives. We have traveled the world and it’s still our favorite city.

ComicCon-ing: Mechacon New Orleans

Kurt HargisJuly 26, 2018 73 Views

Every nerd has their blind spot.  A subject matter that they are weak on.  For us, it is anime. It’s not that we don’t like it.  We just never have really delved into the area. That’s the main reason why we don’t go to MechaCon.  Also, it is the one…

Concert-ing: Exile on Bourbon Street

Kurt HargisMay 4, 2018February 7, 2020 77 Views

Exile on Main Street by the Rolling Stones is a mess of a record. Mick Jagger has never actually warmed up to it. Keith Richards was intoxicated most of the time. The mix isn’t muddy and could be so much better. They just run with the mistakes throughout the album.…

If you follow cute New Orleans-centric stores like Fleurty Girl and NOLA Gifts and Decor, you might have seen the adorable NOLA Baby Firsts print by local artist Allie Behan. I ogled over this print on FaceBook, thinking that it would be a perfect keepsake to commemorate our daughter’s first…
