Re: “Sunday at Jazz Fest”
Yes, indeed, that was a wonderful way to close out the Fest's first weekend.
Re: “Eating outside the bowl”
Guess I'll be making groceries and cooking at home the next couple of weeks. I hope these restaurants get the tourist business make a ton of money, but this local doesn't have ample tourist time to wait in long lines and fight for a parking spot to get a meal out. See y'all during Lent!
Re: “Ladders on Mardi Gras parade routes -- opinions, please…”
When I ride, I refuse to throw to ladders that are set up right by the street. I know it's not the kids' fault, but it's dangerous and illegal, and I'm not going to give the improperly-placed ladders my tacit approval.
Re: “What do you want to rename the New Orleans Hornets?”
Leave it alone. Doesn't need renaming. It'd be nice to get the Jazz name back, but can you imagine how expensive and inconvenient it would be to rebrand two entire NBA franchises? Would rather see that money go towards improving the team and venue. Heck, I'd be happy if the only change they made was to add a food concession at which a vegan could eat something besides popcorn or waffle fries.
Re: “Unknown pranksters stick it to Krewe d'Etat”
This was certainly not sanctioned by Muses. That said, it's a very large krewe, and IF a small subset of rogue members decided to do something like this, it wouldn't be difficult to hide it from the full krewe and its leadership until after the fact. I don't know why anyone would think it'd take a large number of people to surreptitiously slap stickers on some floats and to paint this logo on the street. If the krewe finds out it was indeed actual Muses members who did this, I hope they take action. This is mildly amusing, but it's an embarrassment that achieves nothing except making Krewe d'Etat look victimized and Muses look bad.
Re: “Burlesque ... With Something Extra”
The Evil Hate Monkey is hilarious! Loved his stuff with Trixie Little; one of my favorite burlesque numbers of all time was their "Total Eclipse of the Heart." It's all over youtube. Check it out; if you're not amused, there's something wrong with you. Looking forward to seeing what he does solo.
Re: “Kneecapped: The Advocate hires away four Times-Picayune journalists”
Please poach Schleifstein too - he's amazing and it'd suck if he gets left behind.
