NATIONAL YUCATÁN SHRIMP DAY | MAY 24
National Yucatán Shrimp Day on May 24th celebrates a dish exploding with flavor. Plump, peel-and-eat shrimp are the centerpiece of this dish, and the flavors remind diners of the sunny summer evenings.
Shrimp lovers shouldn't miss out on a dish like this. While the Yucatán Peninsula is further south on the Gulf of Mexico, this recipe hails from the waters along Florida's coast. The garlic, butter, and special sauce give it a kick that keeps diners coming back for more. Serve it with crusty bread and white wine or an icy cold beer. You can almost imagine the dazzling blue waters of the Gulf and the sea breeze with every bite. And don't forget the large, tender shrimp, too.

Tuft’s Blast Sends Tulane to AAC Semifinals
CLEARWATER, FL – Tulane catcher Colin Tuft drilled a two-run shot deep to left in the bottom of the eighth inning to lift the third-seeded Green Wave to a 7-5 victory over seventh-seeded Charlotte on Thursday at the 2024 AAC Tournament at BayCare Ballpark in Clearwater.
The win vaulted the Olive and Blue (33-24) to the tournament semifinal round on Saturday where it will face the winner of Friday's elimination contest between the 49ers (24-33) and sixth-seeded Florida Atlantic (27-28). Tulane will play that game at approximately 12:45 p.m. ET/11:45 a.m. CT (or 47 minutes following the conclusion of the game between fourth-seeded Wichita State (31-27) and the winner of Friday's other elimination game, pitting top-seeded East Carolina (41-14) and eighth-seeded Rice (23-35).
Green Wave center field Teo Banks continued his torrid pace offensively, going 3-for-3 with three runs scored. He also belted his 14th homer (third inning) to go with his 15th (first inning) and 16th (seventh inning) doubles of the season. Both totals are team-highs. He also had an eye-popping nine putouts in the outfield during the game.
Charlotte left fielder Carson Bayne and designated hitter Thad Ector collected two hits apiece. The 49ers had two triples in the game, one by Bayne in the first inning and again by center fielder Reid Haire in the sixth.
The latter hit gave the 49ers a 5-2 lead before Tulane erased it with a three-spot of its own in the bottom half of the frame. It received doubles by first baseman Brady Marget and right fielder Matthias Haas, sandwiched around an RBI groundout by third baseman Gavin Schulz.
Green Wave reliever Carter Benbrook (3-1) was perfect in the eighth and ninth innings, recording two strikeouts. Charlotte reliever Joseph Taylor (3-5) suffered the defeat as he gave up the Tuft blast. Both of those runs were unearned due to Tulane designated hitter Michael Lombardi reaching on a throwing error by 49ers third baseman Brandon Stahlman.
NOTE: Banks is hitting .511 (24-for-47) in his 11 career AAC Tournament games.

LSU baseball defeats South Carolina after late-inning heroics; Tigers play in SEC Tournament semifinals on Saturday
The Tigers got the best of the South Carolina Gamecocks on Thursday night winning in a close one 11-10.
LSU found themselves down late, but two runs in the 8th and 9th inning helped propel Jay Johnson's squad to victory.
LSU struck first in the 2nd inning when Steven Milliam singled to right field to knock in Josh Pearson, but South Carolina exploded for five runs in the 3rd inning, which included a grand slam after Nate Ackenhausen came in to relieve Thatcher Hurd.
However, The Tiger gained momentum back quickly after a four run 4th inning which included a two run homer from freshman Jake Brown.
South Carolina took back the lead in the 6th inning, pulling ahead of the Tigers 10-7, but that is where the scoring stopped for the Gamecocks.
An error in the 8th inning on a Josh Pearson grounder allowed Michael Braswell and Alex Milazzo to score, but the Tigers still trailed entering the 9th inning.
-
In the 9th with one out, Alex Milazzo flied out to left field to drive in Paxton Kling, but it was the former South Carolina Gamecock Michael Braswell that stepped up big to drive in the go-ahead run with a single down the left-field line.bestiality with undercover agent before arrest

Sam Hollier, Serpentine + Friends: The Feast of the Rose
Collaborators return with a benefit performance for the Missing & Murdered Indigenous Women, complete with string & orchestral elements
Starts on Friday, May 24 · 7:30pm CDT
Location
Marigny Opera House
725 Saint Ferdinand Street New Orleans, LA 70117
Friday, May 24, 2024

*NOTE: No food will be served or sold at this event*
MaeDea ov Moon, the director of Serpentine Choir, returns to the Marigny Opera House on May 24th—the feast day of Sarai the Black. This special performance weaves choral and orchestral compositions by MaeDea and Sam Hollier and is in collaboration with vocalists Sarah Peterson, Rosemary Minasian, Vanessa Degrassi, Renee Anderson, Cory Diane, Laura Borealis, Liliana Ruiz-Healy, choral ensemble Serpentine; instrumentalists Ian Cooke, Peter Bowling, Shaye Cohn, and Howe Pearson; choreographer Katiya Chizayeva with movers Vera Rose, Kendra Mecca, Emily Madeira; visual installation by Aaron Richmond-Havel; altar installation by Vera Rose, Marcella Singleton, and Elyse Muñoz. Proceeds from the performance go to Native Hope, a nonprofit organization that exists to dismantle barriers and inspire hope for unheard Native voices.
MaeDea ov Moon is a transdisciplinary artist based out of New Orleans. They compose and lead multiple projects, including Nhktar, a duo layering, vocals, cello, piano and electronics; Painted Honey, a four person group of guitar, vocals, cello and violin; and Serpentine choir, a community arts practice that focuses on addressing collective and ecological trauma through song. Within music, art, and movement, MaeDea’s trauma-informed work weaves queer visions and erotic embodiment into forms of personal, collective, and ecological healing.
The Feast of the Rose is a profusion and synthesis of the creative explorations undertaken by MaeDea Ov Moon over the past decade. This utterance weaves together threads of collaborators, voices, songs, writings, movements, ideas, urges that have been nurtured and cultivated over many years and many miles. From the Bulbancha/New Orleans based communally pooled explorations of Fever Dreams and the choral ensemble Serpentine to the traveling experimentations in solitude that MaeDea and Sam Hollier followed through Ireland, Albania and Portugal, these works are continuously inspired by the land in which they are generated and expressed.
Drawing on the story of Inanna’s journey beneath the surface and the emergence through the Oceanic passage shrine of the Black Madonna, The Feast of the Rose centers devotional practices of death, sex, and rebirth. In expression of these worldly patterns of bloom and decay, this performance blends sounds, movements and altar creation to sensorially transport the space and all who enter into it through a narrative journey and somatic exploration of landscapes, wildness, grief, waters, oceans, ever shifting land, and the more than human kin our lives tend. In the invocation of all these elements, we seek to blur the relationship between the creators and receivers of the work, centering the communal experience as the work itself, created by all who bear witness.

NATIONAL ESCARGOT DAY | MAY 24
Each year on May 24th, National Escargot Day honors the famous French dish of cooked land snails. While escargot is enjoyed by many it is an acquired taste. Many French restaurants serve the dish as an appetizer.
Escargot {es.kar.go} is the French word for snail.
Cooks usually prepare Escargo by removing the land snails from their shells, cooking them with garlic, butter, and wine. Once cooked, the gastropods go back into their shells with the sauce for serving. Because the snails are clumsy to eat, special forks and tongs help improve the dining experience.
Escargot are high in protein and low in fat (without the butter).
The science of growing snails is known as heliciculture. In the United States, more people are raising snails for culinary purposes. Even though escargot still seems exotic to American palates, around the world escargot has long been a popular dish.

10 Words You're Definitely Misusing: Find Out Their True Meanings
The Introduction
Language is a fascinating tool, continually evolving and adapting to our changing world. Sometimes, this constant change can lead to confusion, especially when it comes to words and their meanings. We can often misuse words due to misunderstandings, assumptions, or just plain old mistakes. But don't worry; we're here to help! In this post, we'll be exploring ten commonly misused words and their true meanings. Let's dive in!
Literally
Our first culprit is "literally." This word has been so widely misused that dictionaries now include a secondary, informal meaning which contradicts the original! Traditionally, "literally" means that something is exactly, precisely true. However, it's frequently used for emphasis or exaggeration, which, ironically, makes it mean "figuratively."
Enormity
Next up is "enormity." No, it doesn't refer to something enormous or vast. Instead, "enormity" refers to the extreme scale or seriousness of something typically negative or morally wrong. So, unless you're talking about a catastrophe or a grave crime, "enormity" may not be the word you're looking for.
Bemused
"Bemused" is another frequently misunderstood term. Many use it as a synonym for "amused," but in reality, it means to be confused or bewildered. So, the next time you're left scratching your head in confusion, remember: you're bemused, not amused!
Ironic
"Ironic" is a word many of us struggle to use correctly. It doesn't mean a funny or amusing coincidence. Irony involves a situation that is the opposite of what you'd expect. For example, a traffic cop getting a parking ticket is ironic!
Decimate
"Decimate" has its roots in Latin, where it meant the killing of one in every ten soldiers as a punishment for the whole group. Today, it's often used to mean the complete destruction or annihilation of something. But its true meaning is to remove or destroy a large proportion of something, not necessarily all of it.
Nonplussed
"Nonplussed" is a word that often causes confusion. Despite sounding like it should mean unfazed or not bothered, "nonplussed" actually refers to a state of total bafflement or perplexity. So if you're nonplussed, you're definitely not calm and collected!
Peruse
"Peruse" is another word that's commonly misused. Many people use it to mean skimming or scanning through a document. However, "peruse" actually means to read or examine something carefully or thoroughly. So, if you're just quickly scanning this blog post, you're definitely not perusing it!
Infamous
"Infamous" doesn't just mean very famous. It refers to being famous for a bad reason or negative quality. An infamous person or act is one that has an extremely bad reputation. So, keep in mind that not all publicity is good publicity!
Redundant
"Redundant" is often used to mean repetitive or unnecessary, which is partially correct. However, its true meaning is slightly different. "Redundant" refers to something that is no longer needed or useful, often because it's been replaced by something better or more modern. A perfect example would be a redundant piece of technology, like a floppy disk!
Disinterested
Last on our list is "disinterested." Many use this word interchangeably with "uninterested," but these words have different meanings. "Uninterested" means not showing any interest in something, while "disinterested" means impartial or having no personal involvement or stake in an issue.
Language is a living entity, constantly changing and evolving. It's completely normal to misuse words from time to time. However, understanding the correct meanings and usage of words can greatly improve our communication and ensure we're conveying our thoughts accurately. Remember, knowledge is power, especially when it comes to language!

Golden Age Of Travel 1830-1955

Legging was a method of moving a boat through a canal tunnel. Early canal tunnels were built without a towpath as this would require a much larger bore, and hence cost more to build. Prior to the introduction of motorized boats, legging was one of the few options for getting a boat through such a tunnel.

New Orleans Music Census Launches , Calling All Voices to Shape the Future of New Orleans Music Policy
NEW ORLEANS — Today marks the kickoff of the New Orleans Music Census, an ambitious endeavor spearheaded by the Mayor’s Office of Nighttime Economy to collect comprehensive data about the local music ecosystem. With the aim of delving deep into the heartbeat of our city, this initiative promises to be a game-changer, harnessing data to amplify the voices of those who shape our musical landscape. The census will be accepting responses at musiccensus.org/nola starting May 14 through May 31.
The goal of this study is to collect information that will assist with data-driven policy change so that we can better understand and support the local music ecosystem. The census will look at everyone from musicians to venue owners to sound engineers to festival buyers to vinyl manufacturers and everything in between.
“As the birthplace of modern music, we recognize how important our culture bearers are to keeping New Orleans vibrant," said Director of Nighttime Economy Howie Kaplan. "This study will serve as a roadmap for how the City can best support them.”
"It is critical that we hear from as many individuals as possible, from all corners of the local music scene," said Nighttime Economy Policy & Outreach Manager Julia Heath, emphasizing the importance of community participation. "Our office is committed to driving meaningful change that will support what our city is the most known for: its music."
In partnership with Sound Music Cities, a renowned firm known for its expertise in music ecosystem studies, the New Orleans Music Census joins a prestigious cohort of 20 cities nationwide, including iconic music destinations like Nashville, TN and Washington, D.C. This collaboration ensures that our efforts are not solitary but part of a collective endeavor to elevate the status of music as a cornerstone of our cultural identity.
By teaming up with community partners, including the Ella Project, Offbeat Magazine, StayLocal and Sinking City Records, the New Orleans Music Census will a cast a wide net, engaging with local venues, musicians, music non-profits and other stakeholders that are instrumental in our city's vibrant musical tapestry. Through interviews and surveys, Nighttime Economy aims to capture the nuanced realities of those who contribute to our nightlife economy, shedding light on both the triumphs and tribulations they face.
"The music census is a vital tool for gathering and publishing data that will inform the public and provide a pathway forward on how best to align resources that benefit the members of our art and music community and strengthen our creative industries and cultural ecosystem for all who live in and visit New Orleans,” said Co-Founder of the Ella Project Ashlye Keaton.

FROM THE WILD AND CRAZY MIND
OF STEVE MARTIN –
PICASSO AT THE LAPIN AGILE
It’s not only Picasso and Einstein in the building, its two of the greatest minds of the 20th Century meeting in a Paris bar to muse on the century’s achievements and prospects in Picasso at the Lapin Agile, an absurd comedy written by Steve Martin. Directed by Anysia Genre, Picasso is Playmakers Theater’s next production which opens May 18 and runs through June 2.
In his first comedy for the stage, the popular actor plays fast and loose with fact, fame, and fortune as the two geniuses join a bizarre mix of bar patrons -- including a final surprise guest – to propel the plot along.
Picasso at the Lapin Agile runs Saturday May 18 through Sunday June 2. Saturday performances are at 7 p.m. and Sunday matinees are at 2 p.m. Tickets are $20 and available at the BonTempsTix.com link below.

THE DOOKY CHASE KITCHEN: LEAH’S LEGACY cooking series celebrates Leah Chase, the “Queen of Creole Cuisine.”
The 26-part cooking series, produced by WYES-TV in New Orleans, was shot on location at Dooky Chase’s Restaurant with dishes prepared by younger generations of the Chase family who have led the restaurant since Leah’s death in 2019.
Viewers will meet Leah’s grandson, Edgar “Dook” Chase IV, who now oversees the restaurant’s kitchen; her niece Cleo Robinson, who joined Leah in the kitchen in 1980; and the restaurant’s newest chef, Leah’s great-granddaughter Zoe Chase. Paired with some of the menus are specialty cocktails crafted by Leah’s granddaughter Eve Marie Haydel, the restaurant’s beverage manager who has updated drink recipes from the restaurant’s earlier days. Granddaughter Chase Kamata narrates. Each 30-minute episode explores a new take on Creole classics and a different chapter of the restaurant’s history.
See it every Saturday at 10am & Sundays at 11:30am.
Watch on WYES-TV and stream on wyes.org/live and on the WYES and PBS Apps. Out of WYES’ viewing area? Contact your local public television station for air dates. For a limited time, see new episodes with WYES Passport.

'Mozart Meets Puccini' in a spirited program presented by the Symphony Chorus of New Orleans
The Symphony Chorus of New Orleans presents "music for the masses" in more than one sense this weekend, with a program of music written for religious services that's also likely to appeal to plenty of local music lovers.
The roughly 50-member chorus, under the direction of Steven Edwards, will sing two Masses in a concert whimsically titled “Mozart Meets Puccini,” even though the composers lived a hundred years apart.
Mozart’s 16-minute “Missa Brevis (short Mass) in C-major” will feature four soloists in all four voice categories. Puccini’s 45-minute “Messa di Gloria (glorious Mass)” will spotlight two male soloists.
Both pieces will be sung in the original Latin.
The concert will take place at St. Mary’s Assumption Catholic Church in the Lower Garden District. A 22-piece orchestral ensemble featuring string, wind, brass and percussion players from the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra will accompany the performance.
“What’s really unique about these two pieces is that both composers were around 20 years old when they wrote them,” Edwards said. The Mozart Mass, he noted, is believed to have premiered on Easter Sunday 1776. The Puccini Mass was performed only once in 1880 as a music school graduation piece, then went dormant for 70 years. It was rediscovered in the 1950s.
“Puccini was in line to become the town musician in Lucca (Italy) which members of his family had been for generations, but he didn’t want the job," Edwards said. "He didn’t want to be a church musician. He wanted to be an opera composer. And he did. He became one of the greatest.”
Both Masses follow basically the same themes, the glorification of Christ. Each has five movements, but the Mozart piece has an interesting twist: “Its nickname is the ‘Sparrow Mass’ because, in one of the passages, there are these fingerings on the violins that sound like a bird chirping,” Edwards said.

Comedy House New Orleans
The most unique comedy show in New Orleans is The Open Mic From Hell, hosted by Chris Trew (as seen on MTV, Comedy Central, America's Got Talent)
CHNO ( Comedy house New Orleans)
609-610 Fulton St
New Orleans, LA 70130
Mon, May 20
8:00 pm - 10:00 pm
(Entry at 7:30 pm)
The Open Mic From Hell is the most unique night of comedy in New Orleans.
Everything about the show is chaotic and unpredictable in the most beautifully hilarious way.
The list of performers? A total mystery.
The jokes they’ll tell? Nobody knows, not even them.
How does it work? Comedians sign-up on the list an hour before showtime. At least 13 names get pulled out of the bucket.
When a name gets pulled they come on stage and make a choice - do they do an entirely new set based on words from the audience, or a special challenge set.
Past challenges have had comics doing their set outside on the street, with noise canceling headphones on, and with a designated heckler in the crowd. We are always adding new, improved, and ridiculous challenges to the show.

CITY OF NEW ORLEANS ANNOUNCES MONTHLY AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT INFORMATION SESSIONS
NEW ORLEANS — On March 11, 2021, President Biden signed the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) into law. The $1.9 trillion package is designed to directly combat the COVID-19 pandemic and its impacts to states and municipalities. The City of New Orleans received $388 million in ARPA funds, and as of February 2024, $245 million has been spent and another $48.5 million has been obligated, representing 76 percent of the City’s total appropriation.
The ARPA Implementation Team will begin holding monthly ARPA Information Sessions at libraries throughout New Orleans. The information sessions will be an opportunity to share updates on ARPA funded projects, share upcoming funding opportunities, answer questions from stakeholders and connect New Orleanians with agencies who have received ARPA funds. Details on the information sessions are included below.
June Information Sessions:
- June 3, 5 - 7 p.m. East New Orleans Regional Library (5641 Read Blvd.) – Large Meeting Room
- June 4, 5 - 7 p.m. Algiers Regional Library (3014 Holiday Dr.) – Small Meeting Room
- June 4, 5 - 7 p.m. Milton H. Latter Library (5120 St Charles Ave.) – Dining Room
- June 5, 5 - 7 p.m. Robert E. Smith Library (6301 Canal Blvd.) – Meeting Room
- June 6, 5 - 7 p.m. Nora Navra Library (3001 Gentilly Blvd.) – Meeting Room
The ARPA Implementation Project Management Office (ARPA PMO) was established in the Fall of 2023 to ensure ARPA funds are spent in full compliance with federal guidelines and to support Departments in spending their ARPA allocations. The ARPA PMO provides oversight, risk assessment, management and monitoring compliance of ARPA funds to ensure projects are designed to be on time and meet goals and compliance mandates.
For further information and updates on the City's ARPA investments and initiatives, contact City’s ARPA team at arpa@nola.gov or visit the official website at nola.gov/arpa/.

2024 Full Moon schedule
(all times Eastern)
- June 21 — 9:08 p.m. — Strawberry Moon
- July 21 — 6:17 a.m. — Buck Moon
- Aug. 19 — 2:26 p.m. — Sturgeon Moon
- Sept. 17 — 10:34 p.m. — Corn Moon
- Oct. 17 — 7:26 a.m. — Hunter’s Moon
- Nov. 15 — 4:28 p.m. — Beaver Moon
- Dec. 15 — 4:02 a.m. Cold Moon
For instance, almost every month’s Full Moon boasts a name sourced from Native American, Colonial American, or other North American traditions, with their titles mirroring seasonal shifts and nature’s events.
Strawberry Moon (June): Marks the prime strawberry harvest season.
Buck Moon (July): Recognizing the new antlers on bucks.
Sturgeon Moon (August): Named after the abundant sturgeon fish.
Corn Moon (September): Signifying the corn harvesting period.
Hunter’s Moon (October): Commemorating the hunting season preceding winter.
Beaver Moon (November): Reflects the time when beavers are busy building their winter dams.
Cold Moon (December): Evocative of winter’s chill.
In addition, there are a few additional names for Full Moons that commonly make their way into public conversations and news.
Super Moon: This term is reserved for a Full Moon that aligns with the lunar perigee, which is the Moon’s nearest point to Earth in its orbit. This proximity renders the Full Moon unusually large and luminous. For a Full Moon to earn the Super Moon tag, it should be within approximately 90 percent of its closest distance to Earth.
Blue Moon: A Blue Moon is the second Full Moon in a month that experiences two Full Moons. This phenomenon graces our skies roughly every 2.7 years. Though the term suggests a color, Blue Moons aren’t truly blue. Very occasionally, atmospheric conditions such as recent volcanic eruptions might lend the Moon a slightly blueish tint, but this hue isn’t tied to the term.
Harvest Moon: Occurring closest to the autumnal equinox, typically in September, the Harvest Moon is often renowned for a distinct orange tint it might display. This Full Moon rises close to sunset and sets near sunrise, providing extended hours of bright moonlight. Historically, this was invaluable to farmers gathering their produce.

LSU Athletics is proud to announce its year-long celebration of 100 Years in Tiger Stadium, highlighted by stadium upgrades, events, storytelling initiatives, and a season-long celebration throughout the 2024 campaign.
Tiger Stadium, one of America’s most iconic sporting venues, first opened its gates on Thanksgiving Day, November 27, 1924. Since then, the Tigers have won 450 contests in Death Valley, which has been home to two Heisman Trophy winners, four national championship teams, and 12 SEC title-winning squads.
Included in the celebration are several upgrades to Tiger Stadium, including a new videoboard and lighting system, as well as other upgrades designed to enhance the game day experience. Other events and celebrations will be announced throughout the year.
The 2024 home schedule features several marquee matchups, including home contests against Oklahoma, UCLA, and Alabama. Information on the full 2024 schedule and season tickets will be announced in the coming weeks.
One of the most legendary stadiums in all of college football, Tiger Stadium has been called “the best place in the world to watch a sporting event” by ESPN and “the pound-for-pound king of noise in college football.”
Entering its centennial season in 2024, Tiger Stadium has been a cornerstone of LSU Athletics and the Louisiana community for almost a century, hosting numerous NFL superstars, Heisman Trophy winners, and Hall of Famers since its opening in 1924. It serves as a sporting, cultural, and commercial hub for LSU Athletics, which contributes an estimated $500 million of economic activity for the state of Louisiana annually.

- P1, Aug. 10 (Saturday): Saints at Arizona Cardinals, 7 p.m. (FOX/Gray TV)

The Saints will kick off their preseason slate with a Saturday night game, and also start an hour later than a typical Sunday kick in the finale, hosted at the Caesars Superdome.
