Coming up in this week's Gambit: The Yes We Can (Get the Paper Out on Deadline) Edition
Posted by Kevin Allman on Sat, Nov 8, 2008 at 3:31 PM
• Now that the hoopla has settled, we take a look at Barack Obama and Joe Biden's campaign promises to rebuild the Gulf Coast, and make a suggestion or two of our own (8/29 Commission, please, Mr. President-Elect)....
• Clancy DuBos takes his annual look at Da Winnas and Da Loozas left in the dust of this year's election cycle....
• Alex Woodward gets all green and sustainable, checking out the new BuildSmart initiative from the Alliance for Affordable Energy....
• Kara Nelson finds some cool (and affordable) holiday gifts to save you from the big-box stores and the consumer hell that is Black Friday....
• Bryan Davis and Will Coviello scope out some of the queerer offerings at this year's Reel Identities Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Film Festival, which kicks off Nov. 14....
• ...and Noah Bonaparte Pais takes us inside the weird, wonderful, fanciful, fringe-iful world of the New Orleans Fringe Festival, which begins on the 13th.
We're festival-crazy in southeast Louisiana. See you at today's Mirliton Festival at Markey Park in the Bywater.

just a quick correction... the correct URL for the Reel Identities LGBT Film Festival 2008 is: http://reelidentitiesfilmfest.org/ the one you have linked there is for last year's festival, and the two are not linked together. thanks!

Just read through the dead tree edition today. Clancy's politics article was great except for one point: the Louisiana Democratic party is a loser, not a winner. Cazayous and Harlan losses cancel out an Obama victory and Mary won despite the state party, not because of. Obama and Mary kept it from being a total rout. The rest of the election was a disaster. Going through the list, you even have Cleo Fields' personal grievances over the party's best interest. The last election they actually mattered (at least positively, not as an anchor) was Blanco/Jindal. The state party is rudderless ship, filled with loose cannons and bereft of a captain.
