Report: Day 75
Yesterday I contacted Ginos in Baton Rouge, Louisiana at (225) 927-7156 to reserve a table for 2 on July 4 at 8 p.m.
"Gino's."
"Yes, hello, is this Gino's?"
"Yes, this is Gino's."
"Yes. Gino's. Good. I'd like to make a reservation for the fourth of July."
"Hold please."
Crazy accordian music plays.
"Uh, sir?"
"Yes, I'm still here. A reservation for two."
"Uh, sir, we're closed on the forth of July."
"What? Are you sure?"
"Yes, sir. We're closed."
"Because it's just that I heard you were open. I read it in a book."
"Well, we're not."
"Oh. Ok. Thanks."
Today I am wearing shoes one size too small.
