The full moon calendar 2018 Here you see the full moon calendar with the full moon dates of 2018 and exact times and dates in an overview. Friday, 2 March 2018, 01:51:24 am
At the time of this spring Moon, the ground begins to soften and earthworm casts reappear, inviting the return of robins. This is also known as the Sap Moon, as it marks the time when maple sap begins to flow and the annual tapping of maple trees begins.

March 2018 is a special month, not only because it's when the spring equinox occurs, but also because it will host two full Moons-one on the 1st and another on the 31st (just as we had two full Moons in January).
The first full Moon is traditionally called a Full Worm Moon after the earthworms that emerge at this time of year.
March's Full Moon is traditionally called the Full Worm Moon by the Native Americans who used lunar phases to track the seasons. Colonial Americans also used these names, especially those of the local Algonquin tribes who lived between New England and Lake Superior.
At the time of this Moon, the ground begins to soften enough for earthworm casts to reappear, inviting the return of robins and migrating birds.
Roots start to push their way up through the soil, and the Earth experiences a re-birth as it awakens from its winter slumber.
In some regions, this is also known as the Sap Moon, as it marks the time when maple sap begins to flow and the annual tapping of maple trees begins.
When two full Moons occur in a single calendar month, the second is called a Blue Moon. In March 2018, a Blue Moon will occur on the 31st.

These beers are near and dear to our heart and we are beyond excited to be offering several of them on draft as well as some special bottle pours.
Oxbow has specialized in brewing traditional Belgian-style Farmhouse Ales since its humble beginnings in 2011. Since then, the brewery has kept true to its roots, brewing small batches of stellar ales (and some lagers!), all of which is overseen by the incredibly talented Oxbow crew.

Crossfade - well-hopped, stainless steel-aged, Saison, fermented with Brett.

Barrel-Aged Farmhouse Pale Ale - A blend of varying vintages of the Farmhouse Pale Ale, aged in French & American Oak.
Sasuga - Farmhouse Ale brewed with rice, then aged in stainless steel.
Liquid Swords 2017 - Oxbow's annual Grand Cru blend of barrel-aged Biere de Gardes and dark Farmhouse Ales.

Burial Beer & Creature Comforts: Sat. March 17th, Mid Afternoon
We are enthralled to be joined by our friends from Creature Comforts and Burial Beer Co. to launch their special collaboration beer, Golden Feather. Chief Shaka Zulu (Big Chief of the Yellow Pocahontas Tribe in NOLA) is at the heart of this beer. Burial Beer Company sponsors a program through a non-profit called LEAF in Asheville. They organize programs that expose Asheville kids to other cultures (generally international with the exception of New Orleans) and vice versa. Burial and Great Raft sponsored the New Orleans program last year, but they wanted to do more than just write a check to get the program up and running. Chief Shaka is a huge supporter of LEAF and is all about ensuring the Mardi Gras Indian culture in New Orleans stays relevant.

Radley Balko and Tucker Carrington, authors of THE CADAVER KING AND THE COUNTRY DENTIST: A True Story of Injustice in the American South present this important and horrifying chronicle of Mississippi's corrupt criminal justice system. Told through the story of two wrongfully accused death row inmates-finally freed-Balko and Carrington illustrate how the persistent and historic plague of institutional racism and junk forensic science has failed thousands of innocent men and women across the country.
John Grisham, who wrote the foreword, said that if he were to return to nonfiction, this is the story he would want to tell. An engrossing legal drama, THE CADAVER KING AND THE COUNTRY DENTIST is all the more enraging because it is true.

Glass Demo + Open House Friday, March 2 | 6-8pm | FREE YAYA Arts Center, 3322 LaSalle St.
Join us Friday, March 2, for a glass demo featuring world renowned glass sculptor and founder of Tulane University's glass program, Gene Koss, as he takes over the Arts Center for a hot casting extravaganza!
About the Artist Gene Koss uses glass as a medium of pure sculptural expression resulting in monumental sculptures of cast glass, steel and light. He developed innovative techniques to transform his memories of the mechanized Wisconsin farm of his youth into foundry-based glass sculptures. He combines glass and steel found objects to create small-scale sculptures that often also serve as studies for his larger-scale works.
Gene Koss received a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Wisconsin at River Falls in 1974. He then earned a Master of Fine Arts from the Tyler School of Art, Temple University, in Philadelphia. In 1976, he moved to New Orleans to develop a new glass facility and program for Tulane University, and subsequently became head of the department. He is the recipient of several awards including the National Endowment for the Arts, The New Orleans Community Arts Board and Pace-Willson Art Foundation grants. His work has been exhibited at the New Orleans Museum of Art; the Contemporary Arts Center of New Orleans; the Masur Museum of Art in Monroe, Louisiana; the Sculpture Center in New York City; as well as the International Biennale for Contemporary Art in Florence, Italy. His work is in many prominent collections including the Pan American Life Collection in New Orleans and the Corning Museum of Glass in New York.

Friday Free For All, Friday March 2, 6-8PM - Morgan Stroud joins us with a great selection from Spain and Latin America. This tasting is free and reservations are not required!
2018 Winery of the Year, Agricola Masi -Wednesday March 14, 5:30 to 7:30 - In our Wednesday Night Flight this week, Tony Apostolakos of Masi, named the 2018 Winery of the Year by Gambero Rosso, will guide you through a range of red wines showcasing the Valpolicella region's indigenous varieties. The Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara grapes provide the base for most wines from the region but it is the different production methods that take those grapes from an easy drinking Valpolicella Classico to the heady, rich Amarone. Learn about and taste wines from the 3 distinct styles Masi produces including the signature appassimento technique, where the traditional grapes are laid out on bamboo racks to concentrate their aromas during the winter months. We will also do a side by side comparison of an Amarone Classico and a single vineyard Amarone.
If you'd like a little something to snack on with your wine, resident cheesemonger Casey Foote will select and present a regional pairing plate ($10 with flight, $15 without the flight). No standing in line for our Wednesday flights - you sit at a table, we come to you and pour tableside complete with lots of educational info on what you are drinking. The flight of 4 wines is $20 - reservations are highly recommended as we can only seat walk-ins if space allows. All wines are available for purchase to drink at Swirl or you can take them to go. For reservations and more information go to 2018 Winery of the Year Agricola Masi
Champagne Education Series, Class One, The Building Blocks - Chardonnay Thursday, March 15, 6PM - Michael Knisely presents new Champagne education classes based on a series of 3 tastings around different grapes. But, beyond that, he will work to find an array of wines each night that will allow us to explore and understand these different components, or building blocks, that go into the more common blends. Rather than just Chardonnay from different villages, we will put together comparisons between steel vs oak, young vs aged, vintage vs multivintage. And then we'll do the same with Pinot Noir. The final class will be as much Pinot Meunier as he can find (it's sadly still the least common to find bottled alone) and then some wines that showcase the "other" 4 grapes that are allowed in the appellation. When we're done, you'll hopefully have a deeper appreciation for the role that each grape plays in a classic blend, as well as the other factors such as place, elevage, and age that make their own imprint on the character of the grapes. Each single class is limited to 20 people and will be accompanied by various cheeses and snacks. Reservations are required cost is $45/class. For more information and to reserve your spot go to CES The Building Blocks 1

Coburn (The Gin Game), Who's Afraid of Virginia's Wolf Note? details a wild and witty night through middle-age malaise, angst and romance." Only 18 and over will be admitted.

Fiddle player and singer, Amanda Shaw is part of the new breed of young, roots-based musicians (i.e., Lumineers, Mumford, Ed Sharp, Old Crow Medicine Show, Alabama Shakes) who have embraced both traditional sounds and pop sounds of the mainstream. Her roots lie in Louisiana, mixing her classically trained violin playing with Cajun dancehall melodies and vocals that drip sweet cherry pie and southern girl grit. Amanda counts Loretta Lynn, Dolly Parton, Shania Twain, Chrissie Hynde, and Bonnie Raittas her primary influences. Not only for their strong vocals and powerful styles, but also because they broke new ground with their crossover success and successfully integrating the sound of their roots to the mainstream and this reflects in her own girl-powered sexy, sassiness of her live performances, her sharp witty lyrics and her fashion statements. Amanda has spent her youth implementing the same mission as her role models, becoming one of the leading Cajun fiddlers today.
Tickets are $16.00 in advance, $21.00 day of show. Available for purchase online at

Get carried away with life
The clown Mauro has passed, but his spirit is still with us. Instead of mourning, the funeral cortege celebrates the here and hereafter with laughter and exuberance. Rich, extravagant memories frolic with the senses. The sound of laughter peals around the stage, visions of joyous tumblers and players fascinate the eyes. Regret and melancholy retreat in the face of a cavalcade of lively recollections of a life gloriously lived. A festive parade that entertains; the perfect accolade for an artist whose life was dedicated to revelry and making merry.
BOX OFFICE HOURS: Tuesday - Friday from 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. and one hour prior to each performance.
BRING your MOM, your DAUGHTER, your FRIENDS!
If you've already had the pleasure, continue the tradition - grab your loved ones & closest friends to share this beloved "comedy that will make you cry!" Six women come together in this hilarious and heartwarming story of life, love and loss in a small North Louisiana parish. Not just for the ladies, this wonderfully crafted play is a beautiful tribute to friendship, community and the power of the human spirit that w ill touch the hearts of all theatergoers. Spend an evening celebrating the Louisiana woman..."delicate as a magnolia, but tough as steel."
The Radical Buffoon(s) present their second full production of Harold Pinter's The Dumb Waiter.
A stealthy one-act, The Dumb Waiter starts simple - and familiarly - enough. Two hit men await their instructions in an undisclosed and windowless basement. Killers with little to do except kill time they navigate their claustrophobic space as well as each other as best they can. But soon enough a series of odd circumstances catapult their pedestrian limbo into an absurd comedy of nerves, uncertainty, and ambiguity. Accentuated even further by this production's unique conceit: each night the two actors will take the stage, solicit a coin from the audience and give it a flip to decide who will play whom.

VENDOR OF THE WEEK: JAMES FARM
Shout out to James Farm this week! What's better to enjoy with a bowl of beans than fresh long grain Prairie Ronde rice. While rice farming only became a serious venture in January of 2017, the James family has been farming for 30 years. After developing a partnership with Rolando Sanchez, Beth James began to offer a non-GMO single variety long grain rice. Interesting fact about our favorite Saturday grain vendor, they were so fed up with quality degradation from using other mills, they built their own on site and calibrated it so that the most bran is left intact while still allowing it to be considered white rice, hence the term "light brown" rice. So you still get much of the nutritional benefit of a brown rice, but with the longer shelf life of white rice. Find Prairie Ronde Rice at Saturday market
RECIPE OF THE WEEK: CREOLE TOMATO JAM
Maybe there is something in the air, or maybe it is the abundance of juicy maters at the market... Either way, we are feeling inspired by tomatoes right now. With plenty to choose from - hydroponic or field, slicer or cherry, red or green, creole or heirloom - it is hard not to be. Our current obsession is tomato jam. Garden & Gun has an amazing recipe from chef Tory McPhail of Commander's Palace. If you are not up to the task, you are in luck! Pick up some ready-made from Poche Family Farm at Tuesday or Saturday market.

Tulane University's Stone Center for Latin American Studies at the Southern Food & Beverage Museum for a fresh perspective on the Columbian Exchange. This workshop will engage educators with hands-on activities to provide a Louisiana perspective on the foods of this exchange. Learn from cultural historians and food experts about the impact the Columbian Exchange had on Louisiana.
Participants will gain a unique experience of teaching about this topic through food with an engaging activity coordinated by faculty from Tulane University's Teacher Certification Program.

Ray Bordelon is an avid absinthe product collector and aficionado of absinthe history. His vast collection features hundreds of antique absinthe drip spoons, antique bottles, and absinthe fountains. The collection is on loan to the Southern Food & Beverage Museum, forming La Galerie de l'Absinthe. This event celebrates the 10th anniversary of SoFAB.
Bordelon returns to the Museum to give a free demonstration of the absinthe drip process and provide a tasting. The absinthe cocktail has been taboo throughout history, surrounded by legends of hallucinations and mystery. It was illegal, in the United States, from 1912 to 2007. Guests are invited to engage with the mystique of absinthe by tasting it for themselves and learning about its history.

WHAT: Verbatim Verboten, the invasion-of-privacy revue. WHO: Produced by Clove Productions. Directed and hosted by Mason Joiner. Created by Michael Martin. WHERE: The Valiant Theatre & Lounge, 6621 St Claude, Arabi.
WHEN: Every other Saturday, 10:30pm, beginning Mar 3, 17, 31; Apr 14. (Additional dates confirmed by March 20.)
HOW: $10 at the door. Reservations 504-298-8676 or
[email protected].
The long-running but intermittent comedy revue, Verbatim Verboten, settles in for its first run in over two years, at the Valiant Theatre in Arabi. Directed and emceed by Mason Joiner, regulars in the rotating cast include Andy Nemo, Audrey Wagner, Jesse Stephens, Rebecca Fox, Cameron-Mitchell Ware, Harold Gervais, LaKesha Glover, Drew Cothern, Shelley Johnson, and Matthew Rigdon. Valiant artistic director Richard Mayer, a VV vet as both director and actor, provides guidance from behind the curtain.
Verbatim Verboten creator Michael Martin celebrates the rebirth of his brainchild with a slew of new material for the actors to tackle. Word-for-word transcripts of the famous and the notorious (plus a few regular people, for variety) in an ever-changing revue of exchanges the public wasn't meant to hear: surveillance tapes, secretly recorded conversations, forgotten open mics, on-camera diatribes, released emails, private correspondence, et cetera. Mason and his cast deliver the unvarnished, verbatim goods...with, perhaps, some interpretive license, every now and then.

A QUEEN WITHIN FASHION EXHIBITION OPENS:
NOMA unveils its much-anticipated, first-ever fashion exhibition,
A Queen Within: Adorned Archetypes . This unprecedented display, on view through May 28, features more than one hundred gowns, headpieces, shoes, and jewelry by the most daring fashion designers of the past ten years. Showcasing rare pieces from one of the world's largest private collections of Alexander McQueen, A Queen Within explores different archetypes of a queen -- or metaphorically, of a woman -- and how the mythic queen character manifests through storytelling in fashion. Other represented designers include Iris van Herpen, Gucci, Prada, Tommy Hilfiger, and Gypsy Sport, among many others in the houses of imaginative couture.
Opening week will include the following special events:
NOTE: NOMA Members receive free access to all exhibitions, and Wednesdays are free to all Louisiana residents courtesy of The Helis Foundation. Nonmembers will pay a surcharge of $5 in addition to standard admission for entry to A Queen Within.

Experimental gowns, headpieces, and jewelry by avant-garde fashion designers such as Alexander McQueen, Gucci, and Iris van Herpen investigate symbols of womanhood and challenge conventional notions of beauty. More than 100 articles of daring fashion are presented in a dramatic gallery design that explores seven archetypal personality types, including Sage, Magician, Enchantress, Explorer, Mother Earth, Heroine, and Thespian.
NOTE: In addition to standard admission, entry to "A Queen Within: Adorned Archetypes" will require an additional surcharge of $5. The exhibition is free to all NOMA members, and free to Louisiana residents with ID on Wednesdays courtesy of The Helis Foundation.

Giant Saxophone Arrives in New Orleans for City's Tricentennial
Jazz is a music genre created by African Americans who lived in Louisiana. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, musicians gathered around New Orleans to play rhythmic styles such as swing, bebop, and free jazz on their brass and woodwind instruments. One of the most notable instruments of the jazz sound is the saxophone.
Musicians such as John Coltrane, Charlie Parker and Stan Getz have popularized the saxophone throughout the years. Most people would deduce that since jazz finds its origins in the deep south of New Orleans, subsequently, the saxophone was born there as well. Truth is, the saxophone doesn't bear its roots from Southern USA, but hails from Southern Belgium.
During the early 1840s, a Belgian musician by the name of Mr. Adolphe Sax invented the saxophone. The saxophone is a single-reed instrument made of metal, with a conical bore. The saxophone player blows air into the instrument, creating a vibration that radiates an octave sound out of the bell and any open holes. Known for its romantic, alluring sounds, the saxophone is a fan favorite among music lovers all across the globe.
On April 5th, 2018, the city of New Orleans will celebrate its 300th anniversary. As a gift from the city of Namur, Belgium, FedEx will transport a giant saxophone to New Orleans for the city's tricentennial celebration. This special saxophone was painted by Dimitri Perpete (shown in the photo). The saxophone will be presented to the city, as the double-sided painting on the saxophone commemorates the musical connection between the instrument's birthplace and the world's capital of jazz.
FedEx donated shipping of the giant saxophone from Houyet, Belgium to New Orleans, USA, and it arrived safely just in time for Mardi Gras. The dedication of the sculpture will take place during the April 5thtricentennial celebration.
You can be sure that this celebration will be one to remember, as the sounds of the saxophone playing will ignite chants of 'Laissez Les Bon Temps Rouler,' a Cajun expression meaning 'let the good times roll'!
