District "A" Councilmember Susan Guidry
New Orleans, La - District "A" Councilmember and Chair of the Council's Criminal Justice Committee, Susan Guidry, has called a Criminal Justice Committee Meeting to receive a presentation from New Orleans Police Superintendent Ronal Serpas regarding the NOPD attrition rate and recruitment efforts. The meeting will be held on Wednesday, September 25, 2013 at 2:00 p.m.
Councilmember Guidry said, "Like many New Orleanians, I am deeply concerned about the insufficient number of police officers on the force right now. I expect that Chief Serpas will provide the Criminal Justice Committee with a full report on how many officers we have lost, why we have lost them, and what we are doing to replace them. The Council and Administration must consider all potential strategies for bolstering recruitment of both officers and civilians. I expect that we will have a full and frank discussion on these issues."

Statement by Gatehouse Capitol regarding the World Trade Center
Statement by Gatehouse Capital CEO Marty Collins
September 24, 2013
NEW ORLEANS - On August 20th, the Gatehouse WTC Building redevelopment team was honored to earn the recommendation of the City's RFP Selection Committee based upon the overall qualifications and merits of our proposal. We are excited to move forward with important next steps in partnership with the City and NOBC to successfully execute what will be the largest privately-funded development in New Orleans today - investing approximately $200 million in 100% private capital, creating over 2,500 new permanent jobs, and generating tens of millions in new recurring revenue for the City.
At the same time, we are disappointed in an ongoing public campaign of misinformation by a former competitor about our DBE plan for this project which is simply non-substantive and appears to be more politically motivated than a recitation of the facts as they exist.
For the record, our team has always been committed to maximizing local DBE participation. Our team collectively has a long, proven history of strong DBE compliance on major projects completed locally and nationally. Our RFP submittal in April included a highly detailed DBE compliance and implementation plan, and all City DBE forms were completed and executed as required by the RFP. Moreover, as announced at the August 20th RFP Selection Committee meeting, the City's own DBE office scored all three WTC proposals equally on the DBE component, which officially confirmed that we had met all requirements based on the merits for our DBE compliance plan submitted in our original RFP response.
In addition, since receiving the Committee's highest recommendation on August 20th, our team proactively hosted a preliminary DBE informational outreach meeting on Sept 11th with over 100 attendees to clearly explain the DBE process and next steps for our privately funded WTC redevelopment proposal still in the early RFP stages. Attached is a handout we distributed at this meeting, along with an information form we collected from all potential DBE contractors interested in the project.
Finally, let me say that all this misinformation does not interfere for one moment with our business focus. We remain totally committed on becoming one of the best private development partners the city has ever had, on one of the most important redevelopment projects in its history, while not just meeting but exceeding our important DBE commitments and local participation goals. We look forward to working collaboratively with the City, NOBC, tourism officials, local DBE firms and all citizens of this great city as a positive, professional partner in the months and years ahead.

LAKE FOREST CHARTER ELEMENTARY SELECTED BY
U.S. SECRETARY OF EDUCATION ARNE DUNCAN AS ONE OF
286 NATIONAL BLUE RIBBON SCHOOLS FOR 2013
U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan just announced this morning that Lake Forest Elementary Charter School, one of the highest academic performing charter schools in Louisiana, is one of only 286 public schools chosen in the country as the 2013 cohort of National Blue Ribbon Schools.
The selection is based on the school's overall academic excellence and/or their progress in improving student academic achievement, according to Secretary Duncan, who made this year's announcement live this morning via the Department's USTREAM channel, viewed by recognized principals, teachers, and students assembled across the country.
The program recognizes schools in one of two performance categories. The first category is "Exemplary High Performing," in which schools are recognized among their state's highest performing schools, as measured by state assessments or nationally-normed tests. The second category is "Exemplary Improving," in which schools that have at least 40 percent of their students from disadvantaged backgrounds demonstrate the most progress in improving student achievement levels as measured by state assessments or nationally-normed tests.
Lake Forest won in the Exemplary High Performing category.
Lake Forest school leaders, including Chief Executive Officer Mardele Simmons Early, will be honored with 235 other public and 50 private schools at a recognition ceremony on Nov. 18-19 in Washington, D.C. In its 31-year history, the National Blue Ribbon Schools Program has bestowed this coveted award on nearly 7,500 of America's schools.
"Excellence in education matters and we should honor the schools that are leading the way to prepare students for success in college and careers," said Secretary Duncan. "National Blue Ribbon schools represent examples of educational excellence, and their work reflects the belief that every child in America deserves a world-class education."
CEO Mardele S. Early and a handful of dedicated teachers and parents literally rebuilt the east New Orleans campus from the ground up after Hurricane Katrina and the 2005 levee failures.
Lake Forest Charter School is one of only two schools in Louisiana designated a National Title I Distinguished School for Exceptional Student Performance. One-hundred percent of its 4th and 8th graders consistently pass the LEAP test.
CEO Early said her school offers a nurturing learning environment to students, and facilitates maximum student achievement through a rigorous, accelerated academic program incorporating visual, cultural and creative arts. "At Lake Forest we are educating students who will become global, contributing leaders," said CEO Early. "We are proud of this accomplishment and our phenomenal instructional teaching and administrative/operational staff, as well as our supportive parents and amazing students."
More than 83 percent of Lake Forest's students qualify for free or reduced lunch services.
Lake Forest is graded an "A" school by the Louisiana Department of Education. The school had the sixth highest Student Performance Score (SPS) in the state, for elementary schools, in the 2011-2012 school year.

Lagniappe Lecture - "How the Allies Lost the Air War Over Europe" by Marshall Michel
H. Mortimer Favrot Orientation Center at The National WWII Museum
Allied air superiority over Western Europe was an absolute requirement for the D-Day invasion, but just a few months before the invasion the Luftwaffe had essentially run the RAF and the U.S. 8th Air Force out of the skies over Germany. This is the story of how that happened and how the Allies won the air battle literally in the nick of time. Presented by retired Air Force pilot Marshall MICHEL (Col. USAF, ret.), currently the 52 Fighter Wing historian at Spangdahlem Air Base, Germany. For more information, call 504-528-1944 x 229.

The meetings may be convened up to 30 minutes prior to their posted times to facilitate the orderly conduct of business. BESE Committees, scheduled for 6:00 p.m., will follow the Parent Forum and include the Committee of the Whole, the Administration and Finance Committee, and the School Innovation and Turnaround Committee. 9-25-13 A Public Forum on what is at stake in the lawsuit filed by the South Louisiana Flood Protection Authority- East against 97 oil, gas and pipeline companies* * * *Wednesday, September 25, 2013* *6:30 - 8:00 PM* **** *501 Basin Street, New Orleans* * * In the weeks since the Southeast Louisiana Flood Protection Authority-East (SLFPA-E) filed suit to get the oil industry to repair the damage to our coastal wetlands, controversy has ensued. Gov. Jindal and other allies of the 97 oil, gas and pipeline companies named in the court action have argued that the suit should not go forward. The public is invited to a public forum this Wednesday aimed at providing the citizens of south Louisiana with an opportunity to hear from the relevant officials and learn the relevant facts. At issue is not only whether the oil industry should be made to pay for the damage, but whether the SLFPA-E has the right to bring the suit forward. In 2006, believing that patronage and inefficiency had crippled previous levee boards and exacerbated the damage done by Hurricane Katrina, citizens voted for a constitutional amendment to create the SLFPA-E. Eighty-one percent of voters cast ballots to establish a professionally qualified levee board free from political influence. The SLFPA-E asserts in its lawsuit that the oil, gas and pipeline companies have failed to meet the requirements of their state-issued permits by failing to mitigate the damage that 10,000 miles of exploration, drilling and pipeline canals have done to our coast. Leaders of the SLFPA-E have explained that coastal wetlands are our first line of defense against storm surge flooding. As the wetlands erode, the last line of defense, the floodwalls and levees under the authority's jurisdiction become more vulnerable. The SLFPA-E points to scientific studies showing that between 36 and 90 percent of all coastal land loss is due to the activities of oil, gas and pipeline companies. Some legislators and other leaders have criticized the attorneys for representing the SLFPA-E on a contingency basis. Others have suggested that the Flood Authority East should have sought permission from the Governor before filing the lawsuit. The Governor and the oil companies say the federal government and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers are also partly responsible for the damage to the coast and that they should be the ones made to pay. Moreover, they contend that suing the oil companies could have a chilling effect on future petroleum investment in our state. Garret Graves, chair of the state's Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority, says the lawsuit is in violation of the state constitution. Legislative allies of the oil and gas industry have threatened to introduce legislation to weaken or kill the lawsuit, *ex post facto*. Other government officials have pledged to "sanitize" the board of commissioners of the SLFPA-E, when some members' terms expire this fall. Everyone is agreed on one thing: given the rate at which our wetlands are disappearing, the very survival of coastal Louisiana is at stake. We've already lost nearly 2,000 square miles of Louisiana territory, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. We lose roughly a football field of land every hour, in total about the size of Delaware. In the interest of providing the public with the facts necessary to better understand this critical issue and make informed decisions, we have organized this forum and have invited representatives from the SLFPA-E and the Governor's office. Specifically, we will discuss the scientific foundation on which the lawsuit is based, the reasons SLFPA-E chose to settle this matter in the courts, the legality of action by the SLFPA-E, the objections to the lawsuit voiced by the leadership of the Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority, and the questions raised by legislators and other allies and representatives of the oil and gas industry. *Wednesday, September 25, 2013 - Basin St. Station, 501 Basin St., New Orleans* *FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC* 9-25-13  9-25-13

*Seven Local Bands Line Up for Marcel Rivera Benefit Concert *
The City that Care Forgot demonstrates the irony of that sobriquet in the ways its people care for each other as only New Orleanians can. For folks who fall on hard times or face medical crises, the people of New Orleans rise to the occasion. With offerings of food, benefit concerts and art auctions, the level of care shown here abounds.
When people learned that Marcel Rivera, a community organizer admired by thousands, had been brutally attacked by three men wielding a baseball bat, they rallied friends. Rivera has organized community breakfasts for two decades serving millions. He worked to establish low cost medical services for migrant workers and organized volunteers to rebuild the city. Serving on many local boards for social justice and humanitarian causes demonstrates how community leaders value his insight and contributions.
The July 10 attack in Coliseum Square Park left Rivera in a coma for three days, with three skull fractures, internal bleeding, swelling and severe bruising. Over a hundred visitors lined the halls of University Hospital hoping to see him. When he awoke, among his first words were, "Ah, you see, no good deed goes unpunished." Even in his condition, he could grasp the irony of his situation. This helper of millions was now in need of great help.
With mounting medical bills and no insurance to cover them, Rivera's infectious sense of community and hope prompted group of 35 individuals to organize a benefit concert on his behalf. Seven local bands have volunteered for the evening of Wednesday, September 25 at Caf� Istanbul,
2372 St. Claude Avenue.
Among the talent lined up are:
Paul Sanchez with Jesse Moore and Arsene DeLay
7:00 -- 7:30
Calvin Johnson Trio
7:45 - 8:05
The Davis Rogan Band
8:20 - 8: 40

Models will meet and work closely with designers of the season. Models will have access to parties and shows during fashion week.

A couple of months ago, a good friend of mine named Marcel Rivera was mugged in the Upper Garden District for his phone, and he was beaten so badly that he ended up in ICU. He's still recovering but doing remarkably well, but his medical bills are astronomical, as you might imagine. On Wednesday, a bunch of his musician friends are having a big party/benefit on his behalf. The cover is $15, all of which goes to Marcel's medical fund. Here are some of the folks performing:
Paul Sanchez and Friends, Atchafalya All Stars,The Upstarts with special guest Margie Perez, Calvin Johnson Trio, Shamarr Allen and The Underdawgs, The Iguanas, AbPsych, Carlo Nuccio and Friends, The Kid Carsons and Davis Rogan Band, and me!

Fresh & Local
Well, CCFM is 18 years old. We are just old enough to go to college, rebel a little, and become an adult! Seriously though, 18 years is a long time and we couldn't be prouder or more thrilled to have been part of the New Orleans community. Celebrate with us this week at each of our markets. Tuesday, toast with market inspired "mock-tails"; Thursday, enjoy after-work and school popsicles, and Saturday we will enjoy cake and music. We hope to see everyone at market this week; new faces and old-hat shoppers. Let's toast to the next 18 years of fresh, local food!

Fall means football games, back-porch get-togethers and again enjoying the outdoors in New Orleans. This Herbed Goat Cheese Buttons recipe is perfect for all such occasions. These make-ahead treats are easy, tasty, and impressive. Make them for your next brunch, football party, or just to snack on! Pick up some chevre (goat cheese) from Ryal's Rocking R Dairy and herbs from any of our fantastic growers and enjoy.
11 ounces soft, mild goat cheese, at room temperature
2 tablespoons minced fresh basil leaves
1 tablespoon minced fresh oregano leaves
� teaspoon minced fresh rosemary or thyme leaves
1 � teaspoons minced garlic
1 to 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Fresh herb sprigs, for lining the serving platter (optional)
In a small bowl, combine the goat cheese, basil, oregano, rosemary, garlic, and 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Stir until well combined. If the mixture is too stiff to mix well, add the remaining oil, a little at a time, and stir to combine. Season with kosher salt and
black pepper to taste. Cover the mixture and place in the refrigerator to stiffen, 30 minutes to 1 hour. (This will make it easier to roll.)
Use a small spoon or scoop to portion the cheese mixture into roughly 2- tablespoon portions. Lightly oil your hands to prevent sticking, and use them to roll each portion into a small ball; then lightly flatten it to form a "button." Place the buttons on a platter
(lined with herb sprigs if desired), and refrigerate it, lightly covered with plastic wrap, until ready to serve, up to 1 week.
Allow the buttons to come to room temperature. Then drizzle them with olive oil as desired, and serve.

This is an invitation from Mid City Theatre to join us on the opening night of "Mauritius" by Theresa Rebeck
You may ask, "How can stamp collecting be dramatic or dangerous?" Just add obsession and even stamp collecting becomes far more risky than you'd think.... After their mother's death, two estranged half-sisters discover a book of rare stamps that may include the crown jewel for collectors. In this gripping tale, a seemingly simple sale becomes very dangerous...
Among the award-winning stars are Leslie Boles, James Howard Wright, Joe Seibert, Marc Belloni and Andrea Carlin.
Designed by Dan Zimmer, Directed by Harold Gervais, Produced by Second Star Performance Collective at Mid City Theatre.
Review:
"Unsurprisingly for a writer with extensive experience in TV police procedurals like NYPD Blue" and "Law & Order: Criminal Intent," one of Rebeck's strengths is her skill at stitching tension into every exchange...The five characters in Mauritius pair up and face off in shifting configurations, the emotionally fraught edges of their twisty encounters made all the more intriguing by the fact that items as apparently innocuous as postage stamps fuel the friction." -Variety
If you'd prefer to attend on a different night than opening, just got to the bottom of this note and "click" on the underlined link to MidCityTheatre. That will take you to a page of all our features, currently available. (Save that page to your favorites as we'll be adding some exciting features in the weeks to come!!!)...but a note, use the code work 2penny for opening weekend and save $5 on each ticket!!

The 5-time Tony Award Nominated 33 VARIATIONS is the story about a modern-day music scholar driven to solve one of classical music's enduring riddles - the mystery behind Beethoven's Diabelli Variations - even as her own health and relationships crumble. A story about familial love, romantic desire, and artistic obsession, this extraordinary play examines what it means to lose the things that define us, and what we end up gaining in their stead.
September's opening marks the regional premiere of 33 VARIATIONS. Directed by Michael Cooper, it stars Maggie Eldred & Phil Karnell with Liann Pattison, Mike Harkins, Jessie Terrebonne Thompson, Silas Cooper and Randy Maggiore. The performance combines drama, moving images, and live music performed by concert pianist, Dr. Chia-Hsing Lin.

Check out The Yisrael Trio from 2-3PM while you grab a bite and a Hurricane from Pat O'Brien's.
At 4PM, we've got all the second line fun you've come to expect with Da Truth Brass Band!
The amazing Ms. Erica Falls performs at 5PM.
Shamarr Allen and the Underdawgs rock Armstrong Park at 6:30PM.
The partying continues at Kermit Ruffins' Treme Speakeasy when we second line over to 1535 Basin Street for more good food and drinks, and music to keep you dancing 'til whenever!
Can't wait to see you, this Thursday and every Thursday 'til October 31st, when we'll have our huge Halloween party with Rebirth Brass Band!
Old New Orleans Rum is mixing its signature mojitos at Jazz in the Park this fall!
While you stroll around our Arts & Crafts Village, check out our marketplace, have a bite to eat, and listen to our great musicians, a mojito is the ideal drink to sip and enjoy.
Old New Orleans Rum has three great flavors for you to choose from too: blueberry, raspberry, and mango. We've tried all three and can tell you they are delicious and refreshing--a wonderful complement to the whole Jazz in the Park experience.
Old New Orleans Rum has been a faithful supporter of all the fun and festivities in Armstrong Park, and we're grateful for all they have done to keep the music free!
Please stop by and give them a shout when you come to the park this Thursday, and have one of their delectable mojitos while you are it.
Jazz in the Park returns for nine straight weeks this fall, running from September 19th to October 31st, with a stellar roster of New Orleans music that features Stephanie Jordan, The Soul Rebels, Rebirth Brass Band, Dumpstaphunk, Jon Cleary
, and Davell Crawford, to name a few. The hours of Jazz in the Park are now noon to 8PM, with the Treme Nights after party happening at Kermit Ruffin's Treme Speakeasy from 8PM to 11PM. Kermit Ruffins will lead a second line to his place every week after the close of the show.
The Congo Square Arts and Crafts Village is a great place to start the weekend a little early and grab lunch, as in addition to thirty-eight vendors offering original, handcrafted items for sale, Direct Select Seafood, Woody & Son, and Pat O'Brien's will be on hand. Pat O'Brien's will serve their beloved Hurricanes and Bloody Marys. The Yisrael Trio provides music from noon until 4PM.
Second lines are once again a welcome and integral part of the Jazz in the Park experience, and each week a different social aid and pleasure club struts their stuff. The club with the most original costumes, moves, and overall presentation will be awarded $1000 by a panel of judges at the close of the fall season. The weekly second line begins at 4PM, with music by Da Truth Brass Band. This initiative is possible thanks to the New Orleans Convention and Visitors Bureau, who along with the People United for Armstrong Park, have a vested interest in the preservation and continued growth of New Orleans culture.

Cutting Edge Returns to the Lower French Quarters & Frenchmen Street
September 26 - 28, 2013
Old U.S. Mint
NOLA downtown music and arts festival: September 27 & 28, 2013
The NOLA Downtown Festival will take place on the grounds of the Mint, joining the French Quarter Festival, Satchmo Summer Fest and many other events that use the beautiful grounds and courtyards of the Mint as their festival home.
NEW ORLEANS: As much as the entertainment industry has changed the song in recent years, recording and production is still at the heart of it. Cutting Edge is back to the basics this year, focusing on the recording process and production services. Panels and events will highlight songwriting, engineering, live production and the final stage of the recording process: Mastering.
The Old U S Mint presents Cutting Edge the opportunity to address what has changed and what has not in the recording process, It is an acoustically designed venue that is an excellent place to record a live show, with live streaming capabilities. We are hoping to prove it is also a place where an artist can record original tracts. With the help of the Grammy winning producers and engineers, our All in One Producers, (Friday, 3:00pm) and Mixing and Mastering (Thursday 1:00pm) panels, to the NARAS (National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences) sponsored Let it Bleed (Friday, 4:15pm) panel, the recording process will be explored with musicians who will be recorded in the QUIET PLEASE! Live Recording Sessions with guest producer events. The first artists on the Friday and Saturday night's showcases at the Mint will be recorded. The process will start at 5:30pm and is Free, open to the public, as are all Cutting Edge showcase events
Production Services Training is the focus of the Educators Forum Moderated by Delgado's Community college's Chair of Music and Music Business Studies, Dr. Peter Cho, [Educator Panel] Production Services Training
National and International views about the shortage of trained, knowledgeable production personnel in every aspect of the entertainment industry has fostered a discussion on what can colleges, high schools and independent programs do to fill in the skills gap.
T-Watt Amplifiers and NARAS are highlighting the recording process and production services in Meet & Greet receptions, Thursday, 4:00 T-Watt host a ProJam Session/Texas Meet & Greet and on Saturday, 3:00 NARAS holds a Meet & Greet for it members, Grammy U student members and the interested public.
Cutting Edge is helping 48 Hour Film Project NOLA launch a new project the 48 Hour Music Video Project, with a Friday, September 27th, 6pm: 48 NOLA Happy Hour and a Saturday, September 28th panel, 3pm: "What Is the 48 Hour Music Video Project." The 48 Hour Music Video Project will debut in New Orleans the weekend of Nov.8th - 10th. The mission of the 48 Hour Music Video Project is to provide a creative competition that will bond the vibrant, established music community together with the burgeoning film community in New Orleans. The 48 Hour Music Video Project will give filmmakers an opportunity to work with musicians to produce a valuable promotional tool for both parties - a music video. The producing team behind the New Orleans 48 Hour Film Project and New Orleans 48 Hour Music Video Project (48NOLA) will be on hand to describe the project and answer any questions from musicians and filmmakers interested in being a part of this year's 48 Hour Film Project.

.
Charles Kimbrough is a young hemophiliac leading a sheltered life with his protective mother Mary Ann, a cab driver. Devoted to biophysics and astronomy, Chandler keeps his eyes on the stars even as his body is confined to his room. Intelligent but na�ve, he finds he can't go through with his plan for neighborhood buddy Scagg to secure for him the services of Laura, a lively, practical prostitute. Chandler doesn't know what to do about his yearning for love and connection until he meets Shivaree, an itinerant exotic dancer drawn to his strange purity. But what can they do about it, given his condition, and his mother's fierce disapproval?
An early work by William Mastrosimone - the acclaimed author of "Extremities", "Cat's-Paw" and "The Woolgatherer" - Shivaree is a gentle comedy-drama that rides wave after wave of fantastic dialogue between a boy from the sky and a girl of the earth. With it, Four Humours Theater reaffirms its commitment - after recent productions of "Happy Days" and "The Gnadiges Fraulein" - to select little-seen plays in which women are central.
Shivaree is directed by Four Humours associate JANE C. McNULTY, and features associate ASHTON AKRIDGE as Shivaree and member BLAKE BUCHERT as Scagg. Joining 4H are MASON JOINER as Chandler, REBECCA HOLLINGSWORTH as Laura and - in a most welcome return to the New Orleans stage - CAMMIE WEST as Mary Ann.

The Roosevelt New Orleans to Celebrate 64th Anniversary
of "Stormin' of the Sazerac" September 27
Blue Room Luncheon, Fashion Show and Contest, Swing Music and More
Also Celebrate Sazerac Bar's 75th Year
NEW ORLEANS - The Roosevelt New Orleans, A Waldorf Astoria Hotel, will pay tribute to the women of New Orleans and their legendary influence when it marks the 64th anniversary of the historic 1949 "Stormin' of the Sazerac" on Friday, September 27th, complete with swing music, a Blue Room luncheon and more.
The re-creation marks the occasion when women, normally admitted to the world-famous Sazerac Bar only on Mardi Gras, stormed the popular gathering place. Wearing the hats, veils, peep-toe shoes and gloves popular in post-war New Orleans - accompanied by determination and pride - they changed the Sazerac Bar forever, finally enjoying the revered Sazerac cocktail and other cocktails that previously only men could sip there.
The event, which also marks the Sazerac Bar's 75th year, kicks off at 1 p.m. in the Blue Room with a three-course, ladies-only meal, along with the sound of the Jayna Morgan Jazz Trio. All attendees and "Stormin' of the Sazerac" fans are encouraged to show off their '40s-style wardrobe, whether original, borrowed or newly created.
During the luncheon, ladies may participate in a juried fashion show and contest featuring mid-century style. They also may enjoy '40s-style lip make-overs and samples from the Guerlain Spa and then take part in a New Orleans second-line parade from the Blue Room to the Sazerac Bar. The first-place winner of the contest will receive a one-night stay at The Roosevelt New Orleans; second place, the Sazerac Gift Set from the hotel's Emporium Gift Shop; and third place, a gift certificate for a treatment at the Guerlain Spa.
The ladies luncheon also will feature:
- The hotel's Emporium Gift Shop collection of 1940s jewelry.
- Vintage fashion and accessories from Retro Active Vintage.
- A pre-sale period of hats from Les Dame Chapeaux from noon to 1 p.m. in the lobby of the hotel.
- '40s-style lip make-overs and samples from the Guerlain Spa.
- A fashion show and contest.
Following the luncheon, the event will continue in the Sazerac Bar. All attendees are invited and encouraged to wear 1940s costumes.
Reservations for the luncheon, priced at $35, non-inclusive of tax and gratuity, can be made beginning August 7th by calling +1 504 648 5486. Complimentary valet parking is available for those who dine in the Blue Room.

9-28-13  New Orleans Lakefront's historic terminal restoration complete The rededication ribbon-cutting ceremony for the historic airport terminal building will take place on September 28 at the New Orleans Lakefront Airport. Devastated by Hurricane Katrina in August 2005, this original structure of classic Art Deco design, completed in 1933, was one of the first of its kind to operate in the United States. The level of destruction caused by the storm surge provided the incentive to restore the building to its original design, following a renovation carried out in 1964. The restoration is accompanied by the ongoing replacement of business and corporate aircraft hangars also damaged by the hurricane. Funding for the approximately $20m project was provided by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Orleans Levee District Non-Flood Protection Asset Management Authority. Contractors included the architectural firm, Richard C Lambert Consultants, under the direction of senior architect Alton Ochsner Davis, as well as the Lathan Co, the BelouMagner Co, and the Stuart Consulting Group. The terminal also welcomes the return and permanent display of the 1933 Xavier Gonzalez mural 'Rio', which has been preserved by the Louisiana State Museum since 1976. Hawthorne Global Aviation Services today announced that Jonathan Buff was named General Manager for its New Orleans Lakefront Airport FBO (KNEW). The Lakefront facility is part of the growing network of Hawthorne FBOs located throughout the United States. Buff will be responsible for overseeing the operations of the Hawthorne Lakefront Airport FBO, offering first class private jet facilities, more than 50,000 square feet of hangar space, and a spacious two-story lobby/executive passenger lounge. Buff has 14 years experience in the FBO industry, most recently as a FBO development Strategic Advisor for The 500 Group Ltd. Prior to that, he was Regional Vice President with Sheltair Aviation Services in Florida, General Manager for Signature Flight Support in both New York and Florida, and Director of Operations for AMR Combs in its Managed Account Group in Windsor Locks, Connecticut. "Jonathan brings extensive aviation experience to the Hawthorne Lakefront Airport FBO, and we welcome him to our team," said Steven Levesque, CEO of Hawthorne Global Aviation. "As we grow Lakefront operations, Jonathan will lead that effort and ensure we provide the highest levels of service to meet the needs of our customers in New Orleans." Hawthorne Global Aviation Services, a South Carolina-based company with an 80-year heritage in aviation, purchased a controlling interest in the AeroPremier facility at New Orleans Lakefront Airport in August 2012. About Hawthorne Global Aviation Services Hawthorne Global Aviation Services is a premier provider of general aviation services, with a rich history in the industry dating back to 1932.

Chewbacchus Announces 2014 Theme and Kicks Off Season with Contraption Contest, Social Ride and Benefit Album
New Orleans, LA - August 21, 2013 - The wildest band of freaks and geeks in the known Universe continues to expand their mission to "Save the Galaxy One Drunken Nerd at a Time". Now in their fourth year, The Intergalactic Krewe of Chewbacchus has grown exponentially and expects to roll with approximately 800 members in their 2014 Mardi Gras parade. They have also grown conceptually beyond being exclusively devoted to Science Fiction and now embrace all aspects of fandom including Fantasy and Horror... sort of like a mobile drunken version of Comic Con.
But true to their Sci-Fi roots, Chewbacchus will celebrate Star Trek in all its nerdy glory during Carnival 2014. They plan to roll again in the Marigny neighborhood on Saturday, February 22nd, 2014 with the theme "The Wrath of Khan-ival". An incredible fully-functional Barship Enterprise will be this year's signature contraption. Expect to see lots of other clever Star Trek tributes by the superlatively creative members of the most ambitious DIY krewe in the multiverse.
Chewbacchus is kicking off their season with an incredible three-part extravaganza that takes place on Saturday, September 28th, 2013, and features New Orleans' first ever Art Bicycle Rally & Contraption Contest, a Social Ride, and a CD Release Party for the Krewe's brand new benefit album.
The fun begins with New Orleans' first ever Art Bicycle Rally & Contraption Contest from 2-6pm at the Den of Muses, 42 Architects Street, NOLA 70114.
The Chewbacchus Contraption Contest is OPEN to anyone with a tricked out bicycle or an amazing mobile creation. Everybody knows that New Orleans is absolutely full of awesome art bicycles and incredible parade contraptions. This is your chance to show off your radical ride... and maybe even win an amazing prize. The event also features carnival style games, delicious food from the Skillet Food Truck, music by Mic PheDusha, interstellar cocktails, and a custom beer from NOLA Brewing made especially for Chewbacchus... "BacchanALIEN Brew".
The Art Bicycle Rally is FREE and open to the general public, while the entry fee to compete in the contest is only $10 per contraption/bicycle. Registration for the contest is available online at www.chewbacchus.org or you can register in person on the day of the event.
The Grand Prize Winner will receive a $210 Cash Prize and a 5-person group membership in the Intergalactic Krewe of Chewbacchus (an additional $210 value) which allows them and four of their closest friends to roll in the 2014 Chewbacchus Parade for FREE. There are also LOTS of other amazing prizes in a wide variety of categories!
Winners will be chosen by the Overlords of Chewbacchus and announced at Maison later that night.
Following the Art Bicycle Rally and Contraption Contest, Chewbacchus has teamed up with the NOLA Social Ride to host a group bicycle ride that will depart from the Den of Muses and end at the Frenchman Street Art Market between 6-8pm. Beer will flow from the Bar2D2 courtesy of PBR.

GARDEN PARTY GETS
JAZZED !!!!
with
THE SHANNON POWELL BAND
As a youth growing up in New Orleans' storied Faubourg Trem�, home to many of the City's jazz performers, Powell was surrounded by music. His paternal grandmother Veronica Batiste, played piano for silent movies and in the church. His godmother Thelma Martin and Aunt Celia Bush, who raised him, encouraged him to play music and bought his first drum sets. By age 6, Shannon Powell was playing drums regularly for his church, The First Garden Christ Church. It was a natural transition from the raw spiritualism and rhythms of his church to the driving grooves of traditional New Orleans Jazz. Soon after, he began visiting and performing at the historic Preservation Hall alongside local legends such as Ci� Frasier and Freddie Coleman. It was in the Trem� neighborhood that Powell first met the Legendary Danny Barker, a veteran of Cab Calloway's Orchestra who had returned home to New Orleans in the mid 1960's and taught traditional jazz to neighborhood youths. While Shannon was still in elementary school, Barker chose him for the legendary Fairview Baptist Brass Band. Within a few years, Powell became a regular member of Barker's band and played professionally with Danny Barker & his Original Jazz Hounds. From 1987 to 1992, Powell toured extensively with fellow New Orleanian Harry Connick, Jr..

Sasha Masakowski
Sasha Masakowski has received vast acclaim from critics, fellow musicians, and general audiences alike throughout the U.S. Her reputation as a daring, fearless improviser and charming, creative interpreter has lead to reviews such "The future of jazz is in great hands! Whether she's singing a great standard or an obscure samba, her musical fearlessness is a joy to hear" (Leah Chase, jazz vocalist). In 2009, Sasha was nominated "Best Female Vocalist" and "Best Emerging Artist," by Louisiana's premier music magazine Offbeat. "Musical Playground" was also nominated "Best Contemporary Jazz Album," in a category shared with Terence Blanchard and Christian Scott among others.

St. Augustine Church Sunday Mass
featuring the Soulful Voices Choir
10am
at historic St. Augustine Church
1210 Gov Nichols
corner of St. Claude in the Treme
New Orleans
Sunday at 10:00 a. m., we celebrate Mass in a way that only New Orleanians can. Our Soulful Voices Choir opens the service as we sing and clap in both prayer and praise. After the readings, Rev. Quentin Moody, our charismatic, Belizean priest, delivers a homily that you will not soon forget. Sometimes solemn, and sometimes playful, Moody always preaches the Word in a way that touches people of all faiths.
Later, during the offering of the sign of peace, parishioners mill through the pews, hugging, kissing, and giving each other blessings.
After communion, visitors are asked to introduce themselves, but not before we sing happy birthday to those celebrating that week. After Mass is over, our choir continues to sing and
to perform as it does throughout the service: soulfully and joyfully. Performing a mix of gospel, jazz, and spiritual tunes, the choir pairs radiant voices with the piano, drums, the saxophone, the tambourine, and the occasional trumpet

NEW ORLEANS CITY PLANNING COMMISSION RELEASES
UPDATED REVIEW DRAFT OF THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE ZONING ORDINANCE
City to Hold Ten Neighborhood Planning District Meetings to Discuss with Community
NEW ORLEANS, LA - Today, the New Orleans City Planning Commission (CPC) released the updated review draft of the City's Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance (CZO). CPC also announced the final round of ten Neighborhood Planning District meetings where residents can view the draft CZO, learn how to use it, and give input on zoning issues in their neighborhoods. The draft CZO can be viewed on the CPC's website at www.nola.gov/cpc.
"The Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance builds on the momentum established in the years after Hurricane Katrina for the redevelopment of our city. By incorporating the vision, priorities, and goals the CZO creates a blueprint for development moving forward and is critical to implementing the City's Master Plan. I encourage residents to attend and actively participate in the Neighborhood Planning District meetings," Mayor Mitch Landrieu said.
Released in 2011, the first draft of the CZO gathered input at a series of Neighborhood Planning District meetings attended by more than 2,000 residents. The release of the new draft CZO culminates nearly two years of review by CPC staff and consultants and includes refinements based on concerns raised by residents and neighborhood associations, as well as from interactions with City agencies, citizen advisory groups, various interest groups, and business community leaders. At the October planning district meetings, residents will have a final chance to give direct input and gain a deeper understanding of the new zoning configurations.
Some of the key attributes of the new CZO include:
* Adjustments to ensure that the administration of the ordinance is consistent, predictable, and understandable;
* The replacement of the cumulative zoning structure with place-based zoning districts;
* Design controls and review processes to preserve neighborhood character;
* New requirements to guarantee meaningful neighborhood input;
* Clear standards for sites and uses that allow flexibility and protect adjacent uses;
* New parking standards to reflect on-the-ground realities of historic and non-historic areas of the City; and
* Landscaping and storm water management standards
Copies of the draft CZO are available at the following New Orleans Public Libraries:

Saenger Theatre to Reopen this Fall with Private Parking for Patrons
The historic Saenger Theatre, slated to re-open in fall 2013, announced today it is now offering convenient, private parking to patrons. Located half a block from the Theatre across Canal Street, the partner garage, University Place Garage, will now provide patrons the option of securing guaranteed parking accommodations prior to Saenger events.
Saenger ticket purchasers will have the opportunity to pre-pay for their parking while buying concert and show tickets through Ticketmaster.com, or at the Saenger box office. This option will provide the patron with a reserved space at the garage the day of the event, starting over an hour and a half prior to the show, continuing up to one hour after the show finishes. The garage, located at 145 University Place, will be patrolled by the New Orleans Police Department, who will escort patrons across Canal Street to the Theatre.
"We are dedicated to creating a pleasant, comfortable and memorable experience for all of our patrons, and we understand that providing convenient, no hassle parking is a critical component to that experience," said David Skinner, General Manager, Saenger Theatre.
For more information on the Saenger Theatre, tickets and parking at the theatre, visit www.saengernola.com.
Originally built in 1927, the Saenger Theatre was designed to reflect a magnificent 15th century Italian courtyard and gardens, with a starlit evening sky ceiling, arched surroundings, statuary, columns and decorative moldings. In January 2012, the City of New Orleans, Canal Street Development Corporation (CSDC) and ACE Theatrical Group formed a public-private partnership to carry out a $52 million restoration project after the iconic theatre was severely damaged during Hurricane Katrina. The Saenger Theatre will reopen in fall 2013, authentically restored to the finest level of detail, with state-of-the-art technological improvements and updated first-class amenities. The theatre will host a wide variety of performing arts attractions including live theater, comedy shows and musical acts. The Saenger Theatre is located at the corner of Canal and North Rampart streets in downtown New Orleans and is on the National Register of Historic Places.

Mardi Gras Indian Orchestra, Sweet Crude Team for Debut Performance of "Parlez Vous Nah Ney"
Live Recording Planned for Three-Set Show at Tipitina's on October 5, 2013
New Orleans- Family Fish Productions announced today an unprecedented collaboration between the groundbreaking all-star collective Mardi Gras Indian Orchestra (MGIO) and Sweet Crude, the newest sensation on the south Louisiana music circuit. Dubbed "Parlez Vous Nah Ney," the concert will feature a cross pollination of musical stylings highlighted by two separate versions of the theme song.
The evening will begin at 10 PM with a solo set by Helen Gillet. The acclaimed cellist/sound artist and founding MGIO member has been wowing audiences around the globe with her passionate intensity and inspiring performances.
Sweet Crude
features Sam and Jack Craft, two fixtures on the indie pop/classical music scene on violin and cello respectively, and internationally known vocalist Alexis Marceaux. The band is a seven-piece, percussion-heavy, Francophone ensemble (both of the Craft Brothers also triple on keyboards and drums). Besides keeping dance floors shaking, the band is helping to sustain the Cajun French language of south Louisiana while staying true to their progressive musical focus.
Expect Big Chief
David Montana of the Mardi Gras Indian Orchestra to unite with Sweet Crude during their set for the debut performance of his original song, "Parlez Vous Nah Ney." Montana will also reprise "Parlez Vous Nah Ney" with the full Mardi Gras Indian Orchestra (MGIO) during the closing set.
The Craft Brothers join the evolving cast of the MGIO for the final set. The orchestral big band, which includes violinist/arranger Harry Hardin and cellist Helen Gillet, will feature a four-piece string section (two violins and two cellos) for the first time. Additionally, vocalist and percussionist Bruce "Sunpie" Barnes will don his accordion for instrumental versions of classics from the black Indian canon such as "New Suit" and "Big Chief."
The MGIO also features June Yamagishi on guitar, Chris Spies on keyboards, Reggie Scanlan on bass, Kevin O'Day on drums, Sam Hotchkiss on guitar and Rosie Rosato on percussion.
Another special event is scheduled in conjunction with the concert at Tipitina's. As part of Art For Arts Sake, Aunt Sally's Praline Shop celebrates its grand opening at its new location at 750 St. Charles Avenue, two doors from Julia Street and honors Big Chief David Montana's accomplishments as a Mardi Gras Indian chief and artist.
"Indigenous Artists in New Orleans" features beaded dolls by Ruekyia Johnson, oil paintings of Mardi Gras Indians and carnival masks by Mike Williamson and fine art photographs of Big Chief David Montana by Wendy Schornstein.
The Big Chief will also perform with Helen Gillet on cello and Rosie Rosato on percussion.

SONGS IN THE KEY OF LIFE: A Stevie Wonder Opera
Hits The Stage at Ash� Cultural Arts Center
Songs in the Key of Life, Stevie Wonder's 1976 recording, is the foundation of a theatrical work, hailed as "A Stevie Wonder Opera," is opening at Ash� Cultural Arts Center for a three-weekend engagement. Conceived and directed by John Grimsley, the show opens October 4 and runs through October 19. Specific dates are October 4-5, 10-12, and 17-19, 2013. All shows are at 8:00 p.m. Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased by visiting the Ash� Cultural Arts Center, 1712 Oretha Castle Haley Blvd., New Orleans, or by calling the box office at (504) 569-9070. Tickets may also be purchased online at �http://bit.ly/SongsInTheKeyofLife. All tickets are $20.
Called "pure theatrical creativity," by the "New Orleans Times-Picayune," the show takes numbers from Wonder's recording and rearranges them without dialogue to tell the story of an urban family whose lives are changed by a single unexpected event. Musical numbers featured include "Sir Duke," "Isn't She Lovely," "I Wish," and "Love's In Need of Love Today." Infused with gospel tinged harmonies, cast members perform both solo and "family" numbers a capella with light percussion backup. The cast includes Gabriel Allen, Troi Bechet, Lloyd Daly, Suz� Goddard, Michaela Harrison, and others.
The show was first performed several years ago at the Black Theatre Festival in New Orleans, and then at Le Chat Noir also in New Orleans to outstanding reviews. In 2006, the show was performed at the Bushnell in Hartford, Connecticut. Director John Grimsley is the theater consultant at Ash� Cultural Arts Center and director of the New Orleans-based Dog and Pony Theater Company.

The NOFS is proud to announce the 24th Annual Orleans Film Festival Opening and Closing Night Films: 12 Years A Slave by Director Steve McQueen and the documentary Bayou Maharajah by New Orleans' own Lily Keber.
"Both of the films were produced in New Orleans and represent the burgeoning film scene in the city," says Jolene Pinder, Executive Director of the New Orleans Film Society. "We are honored that the New Orleans Film Festival will be the premiere for both films. With these two films bookending the Festival, we can showcase both larger productions now calling Louisiana home while also celebrating our indigenous filmmakers."
12 Years A Slave is based on an incredible true story of one man's fight for survival and freedom, starring Chiwetel Ejiofor, Michael Fassbender, Brad Pitt, and the stars of the Oscar-nominated film "Beasts of the Southern Wild" Dwight Henry and Quvenzhane Wallis. The film was shot in New Orleans in the summer of 2012 and its international premiere at the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival. Director Steve McQueen and lead actor Chiwetel Ejiofor are scheduled to attend.
Opening Night at the 2013 New Orleans Film Festival is sponsored by Cineworks, Millennium Studios, Second Line Stages and Tectus Security Services.
This year's Closing Night film, Bayou Maharajah: The Tragic Genius of James Booker, explores the life and music of New Orleans piano legend James Booker, the man Dr. John described as "the best black, gay, one-eyed junkie piano genius New Orleans has ever produced." The film had its world premiere at the South By Southwest Film Festival earlier this year. Director Lily Keber is scheduled to attend.
The Closing Night screening is sponsored by Louisiana Entertainment and the after party is sponsored by OffBeat Magazine.
WHEN: Opening Night: October 10, 2013, 7:00 p.m.
Closing Night: October 17, 2013, 7:30 p.m.

LITTLE GEM SALOON LAUNCHES
DAVELL CRAWFORDS� NEW ORLEANS LEGENDS SERIES
FEATURING IRMA THOMAS
The Legend Series, an intimate night of music and conversation, begins October 11th with the
Soul Queen of New Orleans Irma Thomas!
(New Orleans, LA): Little Gem Saloon, downtown New Orleans newest restaurant and live music venue, announced the premiere of Davell Crawfords� New Orleans Legends Series, an intimate night of music, conversations and more featuring Irma Thomas, Friday, October 11th for two shows-- 8:00PM and 10:00PM (doors open at 7PM and 9:30PM) at the Little Gem Saloon, 445 S.
Rampart Street New Orleans, LA. Advance Tickets are $40 for general admission and are available today at www.littlegemsaloon.com <http://www.littlegemsaloon.com> or www.ticketfly.com <http://www.ticketfly.com> or by calling 504 267-4863.
Davell Crawford, a native son of New Orleans who recently released My Gift to You his first album in 14 years, is serving as Curator and Musical Director of the Legends Series. �The Legend Series will be a night of great music and fabulous conversations with some of my musical friends� states Crawford. Adding, �The Little Gem Saloon is an intimate seated venue with great acoustics, it was built to feature a great vocalist like Irma Thomas, and as both interviewer and musical director, I am sure that both Irma, myself and the audience will have a great time creating new musical memories.�
As one of today�s most sought after American Roots performers who is also the grandson of the legendary R&B crooner and pianist Sugar Boy Crawford and godson of Roberta Flack, Davell adds �I grew up in New Orleans hearing the R&B, Gospel, and Funk sounds of Irma Thomas, Jean Knight, Dr. John, Art Neville and so many others. They were my inspiration. During the Legend Series I will mix intimate conversations with a musical exploration. I want the audience to not only walk away humming an old tune but also to have learned something new about some of our musical trailblazers.�
New Orleans icon, Irma Thomas was selected by Crawford to be the inaugural artist of the Legend series. Known as the Queen of Soul, Irma Thomas has over 50 years in the music business and most recently won a Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Blues Album for AFTER THE RAIN. Like many New Orleans legends, Thomas began singing in the church and made her debut at neighborhood talent shows that showcased many of the early R&B pioneers including Tommy Ridgely and Johnny Adams. Thomas made her mark nationally in the late sixties with such hits as IT�S RAINING, RULER OF MY HEART, WISH SOMEONE WOULD CARE and TIME IS ON MY SIDE, to name just a few. During the Legend Series, Crawford promises to not only explore Irma�s musical career but to also delve into her inspirations, as well as the challenges and triumphs of her life.
Davell Crawfords� New Orleans Legend Series, is collaboration between Davell Crawford and the Little Gem Saloon. �We are thrilled to partner with Davell Crawford on the Legend Series. Artists like Irma Thomas have had prolific careers that have not only become the soundtrack of our lives but they have influenced a new generation of artists like Davell Crawford, This is what make her a legend,� states Charles Clarke, Managing Partner of Little Gem Saloon.

On October 11, Bayou Rebirth is hosting a one-day Native Plant Symposium on the benefits native plants bring to southeast Louisiana's urban environment. This conference, to be held at Delgado Community College, will bring together a diverse group of professionals and community members to network, share knowledge and expertise, and discuss the role of native plants in urban water management, wildlife habitat and resilience to climate change.
The morning agenda includes keynote speaker Dr. Doug Tallamy followed by three panel discussions on Engineering and Planning, Benefits of Native Plants and Local Action and Reaction.

The Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis
performing
Absynnian: A Gospel Celebration
featuring Chorale Le Chateau, conducted by Damien Sneed
Sunday, October 13 7:00pm
Saenger Theatre
The Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis
Hailed as "an extraordinarily versatile orchestra" by The Los Angeles Times, the JAZZ AT LINCOLN CENTER ORCHESTRA is composed of 15 of jazz music's leading soloists under the leadership of musical director Wynton Marsalis. Drawing from an extensive repertoire that includes original compositions by Mr. Marsalis, Ted Nash, and other members of the orchestra, as well as the masterworks of Ellington, Mingus, Coltrane, and other great jazz composers, the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis concerts are internationally critically-acclaimed. "The finest big band in the world today," said the Daily Telegraph, UK.
Absynnian: A Gospel Celebration
The Abyssinian Baptist Church is one of the great cultural landmarks of New York. Founded in the early 19th century by free Ethiopian seafarers and African-American parishioners, this house of worship played a key role in the development of religious music during the Harlem Renaissance, and still remains at the forefront of the gospel tradition in the area.
The ABYSSINIAN MASS was a celebration of the bi-centenary of the Abyssinian Church. The sound of black Baptist services - the timeless 'Negro Spirituals' given such dignity by Mahalia Jackson and James Cleveland - is the wellspring of African-American music that has flowed into a myriad of other genres, from blues and R&B to soul and jazz. In fact, improvising musicians such as Max Roach, Billy Harper, James Williams and Duke Ellington, who famously recorded with Jackson, have all drawn on the vocabulary of gospel music to thrilling effect, and Abyssinian Mass affords Marsalis the opportunity to add to this lineage.
The trumpeter has often highlighted the vocal character of the horns in his arrangements for the Jazz At Lincoln Center Orchestra and the presence of a choir, with its rousing, deeply affecting timbres, should produce moments of fathomless emotional depth. While the skipping rhythms of New Orleans music remain a core part of Marsalis' aesthetic he has, throughout his long career, created an engaging blend of bebop, modal jazz, big band swing and lush balladry. All of these forms of musical vocabulary can be enriched by the massed ranks of bass, contralto, tenor and soprano voices, and it will be fascinating to hear how the two elements, with their great technical skill and soulfulness, come together as one.
The performance will feature the 70-voice gospel choir Chorale Le Chateau, conducted by Damien Sneed.

"Modern Fairy Tale" Open Tulane Season

New Orleans, LA -
Tulane University Department of Theatre and Dance opens its 2013-14 season with Still Life with Iris directed by Sara Valentine and written by Stephen Dietz. The story begins in the land of Nocturno, where the inhabitants design and construct the world we see every day-painting colors on the flowers, teaching the wind to whistle, and signaling for day to break. Everyone who lives in Nocturno wears intricate, colorful coats that are the physical manifestation of their memories and their past. When Iris is separated from her coat and sent to live with the rulers of Nocturno, she begins a journey to rediscover her identity recapture her past, and find her way back home.
Director Valentine calls Iris, "a story about memory and loss, the delicate nature of memory, and the mark our past leaves on us. The play is a fantasy-adventure story with magical elements that are reminiscent of fairy tales we're all familiar with, including The Wizard of Oz and Alice in Wonderland as well as the more recent Neil Gaiman story, Coraline."
Still Life with Iris features costume design by Kirche Zeile with set design by Derek Blanco, and lighting design by Marty Sachs.

COFFEE AND CONVERSATION 2013
WENDY RODRIGUE MUSES ABOUT LIFE WITH AN ARTIST:
THE OTHER SIDE OF THE PAINTING
METAIRIE, LA - Wendy Rodrigue, the author of a new book titled The Other Side of the Painting, will speak at 7 p.m., on Wednesday, Oct.
16, at the East Bank Regional Library, 4747 West Napoleon Avenue, Metairie.
The presentation is the second of five book signings as part of the Coffee and Conversation series, a partnership between the Tennessee Williams/New Orleans Literary Festival and the Jefferson Parish Library. The purpose of the event is to promote local authors and their books, as well as the two sponsoring organizations.
This event is free of charge and is open to the public. Registration is not required. Members of the Friends of the Jefferson Public Library will be at the event to sell books to those who want to purchase them.
In The Other Side of the Painting, Wendy Rodrigue reveals the personal history behind George Rodrigue's art, including the story of the Blue Dog myths. She will discuss her role as wife and muse to a famous artist, while maintaining her own identity.
The Other Side of the Painting is based on Rodrigue's popular blog, "Musings of an Artist's Wife." She also addresses in detail the early history of Rodrigue's Blue Dog, along with analyses and quotes from the artist describing some of his most famous Cajun and Blue Dog works. The book weaves George Rodrigue's early years in New Iberia, Louisiana, with Wendy's in Fort Walton Beach, Florida, revealing both as rooted in the arts, yet products of their childhoods in the 1950s and 1970s, respectively.
Wendy Wolfe Rodrigue grew up in Fort Walton Beach, Florida, where her father was stationed at Eglin Air Force Base. She graduated from Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas, with degrees in Art History and English, followed by graduate studies at Tulane University in New Orleans and one year at the American University in Vienna. In 1991, she joined the staff of the Rodrigue Gallery in New Orleans and moved later that year to Carmel, California, where she managed George Rodrigue's gallery for six years. Today, Rodrigue remains involved in Rodrigue Gallery operations and the George Rodrigue Foundation of the Arts; writes occasional guest columns for publications including Gambit, Country Roads Magazine, and Louisiana Cultural Vistas; works on Rodrigue exhibitions and publishing projects; and lectures on Rodrigue art and Louisiana history. She is a past member of the Board of Trustees of the New Orleans Museum of Art and the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities. Wendy's blog Musings of an Artist's Wife can be found at www.wendyrodrigue.com.
This event will be moderated by New Orleans author Patty Friedmann.
Friedmann's most recent appearance on Amazon is with Pick-Up Line, an electronic version of a novel that almost was lost in 2006 in the wake of hurricane Katrina. Pick-Up Line follows her electronic bestseller Too Jewish that also came out from booksBnimble in 2010. She is now writing dark humorous literary fiction after two young adult novels, No Takebacks and Taken Away. Friedmann is the author of A Little Bit Ruined, Side Effects (now Pick-Up Line), Secondhand Smoke, Eleanor Rushing, and Odds, all currently in print from Counterpoint, and of The Exact Image of Mother (Viking 1991) and Too Smart to Be Rich (New Chapter 1988). This year her book An Organized Panic took first runner-up out of 406 novel entries in the Faulkner-Wisdom literary competition. In 2001-2002, she was writer-in-residence at Tulane University. In 2009 Oxford American included Secondhand Smoke with Gone With the Wind, Deliverance, and A Lesson Before Dying as one of the 30 Most Underrated Southern Books.

Louisiana Reporter Todd Elliott joins JFK Assassination panel at Loyola; featured with girlfriend of Lee Harvey Oswald on Saturday, Oct. 19
Symposium marks 50th anniversary of JFK assassination
For media inquiries, contact:
J.Barnes (504) 897-6110 OR Kris Millegan - (800) 556-2012 or [email protected]
Judyth Vary Baker the author of ME AND LEE: How I came to know, love and lose Lee Harvey Oswald, is making her first appearance in New Orleans in more than a decade to discuss her intimate relationship with Lee Harvey Oswald and why she believes he is not the killer of President John F. Kennedy.
She will be joined at the one-day symposium exploring the 50th anniversary of the assassination's events linked to New Orleans with Louisiana reporter and author Todd Elliott, whose book A Rose by Many Other Names, explores the link between Eunice resident Rose Cherami and the JFK assassination. Ms. Rose was picked up by authorities 48 hours before the assassination and was the first non-public investigation into the murder.
Both authors will be the featured speakers at Loyola University's Miller Hall, Room 114 on Saturday, October 19, 2013, from 9 a.m. to noon, in New Orleans. The symposium is sponsored by Trineday Publishing and Attorney Stuart H. Smith.
Judyth Vary Baker, a recluse who lives in Europe, will discuss as "summer of secrets" from 1963, when she worked with Lee Harvey Oswald and conducted a romantic relationship with him. Baker reports that on July 29, 1963 Oswald told her that there was a real conspiracy to kill JFK and that he was afraid that he was being set up to take the blame for the murder. Both Oswald and Kennedy were murdered that November.
Baker, a cancer researcher, was brought to New Orleans in April 1963 by Alton Oschner to work with a medical team on a secret project testing development of a cancer-causing biological weapon intended for Cuban dictator Fidel Castro. Oswald worked on the project with her; both were given cover jobs at Reily Coffee Company.
Her book, published in 2010, has since garnered a strong following in the JFK research community. "Stunning," said Former Governor Jesse Ventura, who hosts the TV series American Conspiracies and ranked it among his six favorite conspiracy reads, adding that, "her book shows beyond any doubt that (Oswald) was clearly a government agent."
The event is open to the public, but registration is required. A $20 admission charge includes Ms. Baker's book or another title by Trineday Books about the JFK assassination. Seating is limited.To reserve your space, go to http://trineday.com/Loyola
. Phone inquiries: 800.556.2012

Wetzel began her professional career as a registered nurse and CPR instructor, which led to teaching heart-healthy programs as well as consulting to offshore-catering companies in the Gulf of Mexico.
Wetzel has been a member of the New Orleans chapter of the American Culinary Federation and the New Orleans chapter of the American Institute of Wine and Food. She was active for 10 years in the nineteenth century open-hearth cooking program at the historic Hermann-Grima House.
After 10 years of consulting, Wetzel was offered a corporate position and began a career as an offshore field manager covering 30 locations.
She commuted to work via helicopter, float plane and crew boat. Her duties included supervising catering operations, conducting culinary classes for staff development, and initiating culinary externship programs with the Cordon Bleu in Texas and Florida.
At the end of 2009, Wetzel retired from offshore to re-establish her catering business. She expanded into nutritional counseling, designing gourmet meals for special diets, personal chef service, cooking classes, while still offering floral design and full-service catering.

Dirty Girl Mud Run Coming to New Orleans
The Nation's Largest Mud Run for Women Heading to New Orleans, 10/18
Dirty Girl Mud Run, the original women-only national mud run series and the largest in the country, is coming to the New Orleans area on Saturday, October 18. Register here to join the hundreds of women who will be getting muddy at NOLA Motorsports Park in Avondale, LA.
Dirty Girl Mud Run challenges women of all ages and athletic abilities to get out of their comfort zones, get dirty, and accomplish something brand new as they run, jump, slip, and slide through Dirty Girl's 12 awesome obstacles, all of which are optional.
Dirty Girl believes in providing women with a challenging and empowering environment to achieve new levels in life-confidence while having fun and bonding with loved ones. From start to finish, the Dirty Girl Mud Run in New Orleans will be an unforgettable event and an incredible team-building experience. Participants can expect excitement, laughter and camaraderie-as well as lots of music, refreshments, and a complimentary drink. Each Dirty Girl event attracts thousands of participants, and over 350,000 women are expected to take part in events nationwide in 2013.
Women aged 14 and up can participate in Dirty Girl events. Entry fee is $65-$100, depending on how far in advance you register.
Running for a good cause: In 2013, Dirty Girl plans to contribute $250,000 in cash support to Bright Pink (brightpink.org), the only national non-profit organization focused on the prevention and early detection of breast and ovarian cancer in young women.
Cancer survivors always participate in Dirty Girl events free of charge.
Register now for the New Orleans Dirty Girl Mud Run. The first wave of runners will take off at 8AM, and the last wave at 4PM. To learn more about Dirty Girl, visit www.godirtygirl.com.
Dirty Girl is a 5k womens only run for women of all ages and athletic abilities. Don't worry, it's not a "race" in the traditional sense.
It is an untimed obstacle course designed to push you slightly out of your comfort zone, but only as far as you are comfortable going. Forming teams is encouraged, and so is helping your fellow Dirty Girls get through to the finish. At a Dirty Girl Mud Run you'll find excitement, laughter, and camaraderie-as well as lots of music and even some adult beverages. It's a day you'll never forget.
PRESS: If you'd like to attend and cover the event, or interview a Dirty Girl spokesperson, please contact Stephanie Gomory at 646-495-4002 or [email protected]

CULINARY LEGACIES:
AL SCRAMUZZA DISCUSSES SEAFOOD CITY AND CRAWFISH
FOR LIBRARY'S CULINARY LEGACIES SERIES
METAIRIE, LA - Al Scramuzza, the former owner and proprietor of Seafood City, will discuss his role in shaping local culinary history at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 9, at the East Bank Regional Library,
4747 W. Napoleon, Metairie.
Scramuzza's appearance is part of the Culinary Legacies series that is hosted by Liz Williams, founder and president of the Southern Food and Beverage Museum. The previous guest in this series was legendary chef Leah Chase.
This event is free of charge and is open to the public. Registration is not required.
Al Scramuzza operated Seafood City, a giant supermarket of seafood that occupied an entire block at 1826 North Broad Street in Gentilly.
"Doctor" Al Scramuzza, wrote and recorded a well-known jingle that many New Orleanians still know by heart.
"Seafood City is a very pretty
Down on Broad and St. Bernard
Stay with Al Scramuzza and you'll never be a loser Eighteen twenty-six North Broad!"
Scramuzza wrote and sang numerous songs which he recorded for his own indie record label, Scram Records. He produced a well-known track by Eddie Bo called "Hook and Sling." He was also involved in local politics.
During the Culinary Legacies interview, Scramuzza will be asked about his contributions to local food history, including his role as one of the first to promote and sell crawfish during the 1970s, long before dishes that included crawfish were popular.
Liz Williams will moderate the interview with Scramuzza. She is a lawyer who writes about the legal aspects of food, reflecting culture, policy and economics. She has served in the U.S. Army as a JAG officer, and has taught arts administration law and historic preservation law. She has been involved in several major economic development projects in New Orleans. She is the author of New Orleans:
A Food Biography.

Marschner's masterpiece of nineteenth-century Romanticism, Der Vampyr, created a sensation at its 1828 premiere. This musical treasure is based on a ghost story by Lord Byron and sits musically and dramatically between Mozart's Don Giovanni and Wagner's Flying Dutchman. Its gorgeous music, recently heard at Carnegie Hall, was praised by the New York Times as a "gem of an opera" with an "alluring score" and "lovely choral writing...enlivened with many pictorial and evocative elements." Der Vampyr was a great influence on both composers and writers of the Romantic era, but our production will present this exhilarating supernatural tale in contemporary New Orleans-the setting for so much of the current fascination with stories vampiric!

EAST BANK REGIONAL LIBRARY HOSTS BOOK LAUNCH PARTY FOR
STEAMPUNK ANTHOLOGY, NEW ORLEANS BY GASLIGHT
METAIRIE, LA - The editors and authors of a new steampunk anthology featuring stories set in New Orleans will be present for a book launch partyat 7 p.m., Tuesday, Oct. 15, at the East Bank Regional Library, 4747 West Napoleon Avenue, Metairie.
The anthology is titled New Orleans by Gaslight and features local steampunk authors, including some who workshopped their stories at the library's Fiction Writers' Workshop. This event is free of charge and is open to the public. There is no registration.
Steampunk is a subgenre of science fiction, usually set in an anachronistic Victorian or quasi-Victorian alternate history setting. It is often described by the slogan "What the past would look like if the future had happened sooner." It includes fiction with science fiction, fantasy or horror themes. Examples of steampunk in the movies include: Wild Wild West; Final Fantasy 7; Van Helsing; The Time Machine; Hellboy; and Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow.
From the book's back page: "In a New Orleans that Never Was and Never Will Be, there are a thousand stories to tell. There are stories of sorrow and triumph, of passion and fury, of love and of revenge. Aloft with cloud and sun, great warrior airships drift silently over the city below, crewed by eager young men and women awaiting the moment they will be called upon to strike against foes with cannon and with sword. Steamboats float down the river bringing travelers from far climes and distant lands unknown to our more mundane world. Lovers ride down the boulevards upon clockwork carriages drawn by mechanical horses. Cheated gamblers decide between making a break for the door or breaking the quiet calm with the staccato beat of revolver gunfire. Ragtime music echoes as fallen women ply the world's oldest trade in the streets of Storyville. Soldiers lead clanking platoons of clockwork automatons through the port on their way to their next deployment and archaeologists, explorers and adventurers set forth aboard airships to find new lands, fortune and glory or perhaps death in the forlorn forsaken corners of the globe. These are the stories of New Orleans by Gaslight."

New Orleans has earned a reputation as the premier destination for Halloween. This year will be no exception as the city prepares to celebrate the 30th anniversary of "Halloween New Orleans (HNO XXX)," October 24 - 27. The weekend-long extravaganza, benefitting Project Lazarus, is expected to bring in more than 5,000 visitors from across the country and will feature a premier performance by acclaimed New York City DJ, Abel.
"I've performed at some of the top parties around the world," said DJ Abel. "Halloween New Orleans is an event that's been on my radar for quite some time and I'm thrilled that the stars aligned to allow me to celebrate in the great city of New Orleans - a city known for doing it best."
Since its inception in 1984, Halloween New Orleans has raised more than $4.6 million for Project Lazarus and has become one of the largest HIV/AIDS fundraisers in the Gulf South. The event was created to celebrate the gay community in New Orleans, to share love, a sense of family, a unique culture and a love of showmanship, while supporting Project Lazarus in its fight against HIV/AIDS.
"Our goal is to empower those living with AIDS and put them back into the community as responsible individuals," said Kim Moss, executive director of Project Lazarus. "We wouldn't be able to accomplish that without the funds raised by Halloween New Orleans. It has become the ultimate party for a cause."
This year's theme, "Chapel of Love," is a nod to the recent Supreme Court ruling, upholding gay marriage in those states that recognize it. The event festivities will be playfully themed around weddings.
"We've had a history of exciting themes over the past 29 years," said Arthur Roger, co-chair of the Saturday event. "The plans to commemorate the 30th anniversary are certainly fitting for such a milestone."
As part of the 30th celebration, Stonewall National Museum and Archives will induct event paraphernalia, including invitations, shirts, photos and awards, into their permanent display.

University of New Orleans unveils 2013-14 season for acclaimed Musical Excursions series
The University of New Orleans quietly announced the lineup for its well-regarded Musical Excursion series with a social media post.
Budget cuts had sidelined the series for a year, but in January a pair of New Orleans foundations stepped forward to fund the 2013-14 season.
The new season opens October 29 with pianist Fei-Fei Dong, a Cliburn Competition Finalist. The Ethos Percussion Group will visit UNO on February 11, 2014. The Italian Saxophone Quartet closes the series April 8, 2014.
Ticket costs for the upcoming season were not announced, but the series has always been one of the better deals in town, with general admission tickets costing less than $15. Steeply reduced prices for students helped to bring out a vocal young audience, too. For more information, call the UNO Department of Music at 504.280.6789 or email [email protected].
Before the hiatus, Musical Excursions had turned the lakefront campus into a must-stop for classical music fans. Although modest in scope, the series offered savvy programming that took advantage of the grand acoustics of the UNO Recital Hall. Headliners included both rising stars and established talents, among them guitarist Odair Assad, the Ariel String Quartet, and cello soloist Alisa Weilerstein.
(The cellist, who went on to win a half-million-dollar MacArthur ?genius grant? at age 29, will share the stage with the Ariel players at a Tulane University show on February 3, 2014).

In America's Antique City
Known variably as "The Mayberry of the South" or "The Strawberry Capital of the World," Ponchatoula has a third claim to fame-"America's Antique City." A result of cooperative effort among city officials and local businesses, this nomenclature was adopted in 1989 to solidify the town's identity as a mecca for antiquers. Now, on any given day, shoppers stroll around the walkable heart of Ponchatoula, drawn by its numerous art galleries, antique shops, and gift shops. But only twice a year does downtown Ponchatoula bust at the seams with antique purveyors from all over the nation.
Ponchatoula's Antique Trade Days are consistently held the first full weekends in March and November; this November, it will be held from the first to the third. The free, outdoor event is sponsored by the Ponchatoula Chamber of Commerce, and committee member Mary Scandurro explained that there is always a good variety of dealers, with new ones coming all the time.
The event features some children's activities to keep the rug-rats sufficiently distracted, but if Mom or Dad just want to leave the kids behind, then a Friday visit will ensure that kids are busy at their school desks while their parents stroll at a proper, adult pace through the aisles of wares. Scandurro also hopes to persuade The Big Fun Brass Band (the actual name of the band, not an adjective-strewn description) to once again march through the Trade Days grounds.
Just forty-five minutes from Baton Rouge and forty from New Orleans, Antique Trade Days is, "a quaint, wonderful step back in time." Maybe you'll see Opie walking down the street.

. The Historic Carver Theater
Performing Arts Center
Touching the future without disturbing the past!
2101 Orleans Avenue, New Orleans, LA 70116
Opening November 2013
Welcome back to the historic Carver Theater; during the 1950's hailed as "America's finest theater exclusively for colored patrons" with the latest in technology, architectural designs, and the finest amenities. Return as history moves forward with the installation of the Carver Theater's new state-of-the-art natural sounding Meyer Sound; an extraordinary breakthrough in sound technology which provides the optimal acoustical experience.
Re-designed as a live performance entertainment venue primarily focus on jazz, big band ensembles, chamber music, operetta, musicals, stage plays, dance recitals, and Off-Broadway Shows; the fully renovated 16,000-square-foot theater with the "finest amenities" will comfortably seat approximately 600 guests with the ability to accommodate a greater number for non-seated performances and special events. The beamless construction and flat flooring design provides for an obstruction less view and present endless opportunities for various productions.
State of the arts technology and the development of acoustical sound barriers designed to prevent the intrusion or extrusion of sound during performances allow the Carver to create the proper ambience for live audio and video recordings by the music, film, and entertainment industry. Located just blocks from the French Quarter, proximal to downtown New Orleans, the Carver serves as an excellent location for music conferences, film festivals, screenings, and other arts related events.
Welcome Back to the Historic Carver Theater!

A renaissance of good, clean, sixteenth century fun
What do lances, falcons, swords, jugglers, and armor all have in common? If you guessed that they are all accoutrements of a die-hard Renaissance Festival fan, then don't bother reading further; we know you already have your bags packed for LaRenFest. If you aren't one of the converted, then keep reading, 'cause there's a sixteenth century adventure waiting for you down I-12.
Louisiana Renaissance Festival is touted as a combination festival/theme park that celebrates all things typical of the English Renaissance. Fictional English village Albright will rise from the Tangipahoa Parish earth, populated by over six hundred artisans, entertainers, and demonstrators during six weekends in November and early December.
Educational demonstrations range from music performances to glass-blowing. Hundreds of booths sell handmade wares, and entertainment runs the gamut from jousting competitions in a five thousand-seat arena to pub shows for Mom and Dad.
If dressing up is your thing, then please do. Period costumes are welcome, though certainly not required. If you'd rather just rent a saucy bar wench's smock for the weekend, that can be arranged. Another optional feature is the opportunity to pitch a tent for some rustic camping on the grounds.
Each weekend has a theme to help focus the fun. Pirates, heroes, Celtic, Princess Bride, mask, and fireworks weekends have been scheduled; details can be found on the website. Please leave your Pekingese or Chihuahuas at home, though; the raptors brought in as part of the falconry demo think little dogs are yummy.

WOMEN PIONEERS OF THE LOUISIANA ENVIRONMENTAL MOVEMENT
AT EAST BANK REGIONAL LIBRARY
METAIRIE, LA - Peggy Frankland and Susan Tucker, authors of Women Pioneers of the Louisiana Environmental Movement, will discuss and sign copies of the book at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 7 at the East Bank Regional Library, 4747 West Napoleon Avenue, Metairie.
The event is free of charge and open to the public. Registration is not required. Members of the Friends of the Jefferson Public Library will be present to sell copies of the book for those who would like to purchase them.
Women Pioneers of the Louisiana Environmental Movement provides a window into the passion and significance of 38 committed individuals who led a grassroots movement in a socially conservative state. The book is comprised of oral history narratives in which women activists share their motivation, struggles, accomplishments, and hard-won wisdom. Also, interviews with eight men, all leaders who worked with or against the women, provide more insight into this rich history.
The book sheds light on Louisiana and America's social and political history, as well as the national environmental movement in which women often emerged to speak for human rights, decent health care, and environmental protection. By illuminating a crucial period in Louisiana history, the women tell how "environmentalism" emerged within a state already struggling with the dual challenges of adjusting to the civil rights movement and the growing oil boom.
Peggy Frankland, an environmental activist since 1982, worked with a team of interviewers, especially those trained at Louisiana State University's T. Harry Williams Center for Oral History. They interviewed 40 women pioneers of the state environmental movement.
Frankland's work also was aided by a grant from the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities. In this compilation, she allows the women's voices to provide a clear picture of how their smallest actions impacted their communities, their families, and their way of life.
As Curator of Books and Records, Susan Tucker oversees the Newcomb Archives and the Vorhoff Library. Her research interests concern gender, material culture, and archival studies. These interests have extended from a large-scale oral history project on domestic workers - Telling Memories Among Southern

11-14-13 CASEY STUART DELIVERS A HISTORY TALK, "CLAUDE TREME: THE MAN AND HIS FAUBOURG" METAIRIE, LA - Casey Stuart, a local historian and expert on preservation, will discuss "Claude Treme: The Man and His Faubourg" at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 14, at the East Bank Regional Library, 4747 W. Napoleon Avenue, Metairie. The author talk is free-of-charge and is open to the public. Registration is not required. Claude Treme, a Frenchman, was a model hat maker and real estate developer who migrated from Saugivny in Burgundy, France, and settled in New Orleans in 1783. He married Julie Moreau, thus taking title to the property that now bears his family name. Seeing a chance to make a profit, the husband and wife subdivided the estate and sold off many lots on a first-come-first served basis to free people-of-color and others pouring in from the Old Quarter jammed with Haitian immigrants fleeing the bloody 1791 revolution in Haiti. After selling 35 lots, Claude and Julie Treme left their plantation home for a more peaceful life in 1810. Stuart will discuss the life of Claude Treme and the other great families that contributed to this well-known New Orleans neighborhood. Casey Stuart was born in New Orleans and worked for 30 years in the pharmaceutical industry. After retiring in 2003, he earned a Master of Preservation Studies from Tulane University. Stuart taught New Orleans History for The People Program of New Orleans. He currently serves as Vice-President for Education and Community Outreach for Save Our Cemeteries.

Mahalia Jackson Theatre for the Performing Arts
Marschner's masterpiece of nineteenth-century Romanticism, Der Vampyr, created a sensation at its 1828 premiere. This musical treasure is based on a ghost story by Lord Byron and sits musically and dramatically between Mozart's Don Giovanni and Wagner's Flying Dutchman. Its gorgeous music, recently heard at Carnegie Hall, was praised by the New York Times as a "gem of an opera" with an "alluring score" and "lovely choral writing...enlivened with many pictorial and evocative elements." Der Vampyr was a great influence on both composers and writers of the Romantic era, but our production will present this exhilarating supernatural tale in contemporary New Orleans-the setting for so much of the current fascination with stories vampiric!

Bob Hope: An American Treasure
NEW ORLEANS The National WWII Museum is pleased to announce that a traveling exhibit celebrating legendary entertainer Bob Hope will open to the public.
Bob Hope entertained US troops at locations around the globe during World War II. The image of Hope walking on stage with a golf club at one of his many USO shows is a cherished memory for millions of Americans, especially military veterans. Those days will be revisited when the World Golf Hall of Fame & Museum brings the Bob Hope: An American Treasure traveling exhibition to The National WWII Museum.
Created with the generous support of the Bob & Dolores Hope Charitable Foundation, the exhibition highlights several aspects of Hope's life, including his extraordinary relationship with the US Armed Forces. The exhibition will be on display in the Joe W. and D.D. Brown Special Exhibit Gallery inside the Louisiana Memorial Pavilion through October 31.
"I know my Dad would be proud to have his exhibit available to visitors at The National WWII Museum in New Orleans, one of his favorite cities," said Linda Hope, daughter of the entertainer. "The men and women who served during that war had a special place in his heart. Their spirit and love of our country never ceased to inspire him. We hope that the visitors to the Museum and those who see this exhibition will enjoy it and hopefully it will trigger some special memories."
Bob Hope: An American Treasure features more than 160 artifacts, including Hope's Congressional Gold Medal, honorary Oscar statuette, Honorary Veterans citation and PGA of America money clip. More than 200 vintage photos and seven video displays tell the story of Hope's early years as a member of an immigrant family in the early 20th century, his rise as a star of stage, screen and radio, his devotion to US military personnel, his relationships with US presidents and his love of golf.
"When touring the Middle East with the USO, we, the performers, would often say 'now I know how Bob Hope felt,'" said Victoria Reed, director of entertainment for The Stage Door Canteen at The National WWII Museum. "He was the pioneer for carrying out this amazing tradition, the king of the morale boosters."
"My grandfather discovered the greatness of the military audience in 1941. At the time, he joked that they were, 'an audience so ready for laughter, it made what we did for a living feel like stealing money,'" said Miranda Hope, granddaughter of the entertainer. "But he truly loved the men and women who defended this country and took pride that his performances spelled, more than anything else, 'home.' He was their favorite comedian, they were his favorite audience, and it was a love affair that lasted more than six decades."
The Museum will host an opening reception on Thursday, August 1, starting at 5:30 pm. Miranda Hope will speak briefly about her famous grandfather, followed by the opportunity for questions. This event is free and open to the public. Reservations are appreciated and can be made at 504-528-1944 x 226.
"Bob's relationship with the military is legendary and we're delighted to bring this exhibition to The National World War II Museum," said Jack Peter, Chief Operating Officer of the World Golf Hall of Fame. "We're also pleased to share Bob's love of the game with the great golf fans in New Orleans. We must thank the Bob & Dolores Hope Charitable Foundation for its support in bringing this exhibition to another new audience."
Access to the exhibit is included with standard Museum admission. For more information, including photos, about Bob Hope: An American Treasure, visit www.nationalww2museum.org

"The reopening of the historic Saenger Theatre on Canal Street is a testament to the city of New Orleans' resilience and recovery from Hurricane Katrina," Mayor Mitch Landrieu said. "This newly restored state-of-the-Art Theatre both preserves our past and is a symbol of the city we are working every day to become. The Saenger's reopening has been a long time coming but its rebirth as the premier live entertainment venue for New Orleans and the Gulf Coast region has been worth the wait."
"New Orleans has been anticipating the reopening of the historic Saenger Theatre since 2005, so a major celebration is in order," said David Skinner, General Manager of the Saenger Theatre. "We are thrilled to have Kristin Chenoweth with us to mark such an important milestone in the revitalization of New Orleans and we look forward to revealing the historic venue after its $52 million restoration."
"The Saenger Theatre is the showpiece of Canal Street," said David Rubenstein, Chair of the Canal Street Development Corporation. "Through our partnership with the City of New Orleans and ACE Theatrical Group, the Saenger will once again serve as an important anchor that will spur growth and redevelopment along Canal Street and beyond. We could not be more excited about reopening the Saenger and the fantastic live entertainment it will attract to our city."

Saenger Theatre
Originally built in 1927, the Saenger Theatre was designed to reflect a magnificent 15th century Italian courtyard and gardens, with a starlit evening sky ceiling, arched surroundings, statuary, columns and decorative moldings. In January 2012, the City of New Orleans, Canal Street Development Corporation (CSDC) and ACE Theatrical Group formed a public-private partnership to carry out a $52 million restoration project after the iconic theatre was severely damaged during Hurricane Katrina. The Saenger Theatre will reopen in fall 2013, authentically restored to the finest level of detail, with state-of-the-art technological improvements and updated first-class amenities. The theatre will host a wide variety of performing arts attractions including live theater, comedy shows and musical acts. The Saenger Theatre is located at the corner of Canal and North Rampart streets in downtown New Orleans and is on the National Register of Historic Places.

The Historic New Orleans Collection opened a new exhibition exploring the work of 1960s counterculture artists Jon and Louise "Gypsy Lou" Webb. The display, "Alternative Imprints: Jon Webb, Gypsy Lou, and the Hand-Sewn World of the Loujon Press,"will be on viewin the Williams Research Center, located at 410 Chartres St., through Saturday, Nov. 16. Gallery hours are Tuesday-Saturday, 9:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m., and admission is free.
The exhibition centers on items from the collection of Edwin J. Blair, who befriended the Webbs as a young man in the 1960s and donated his trove of Loujon Press memorabilia to THNOC in 2012. Blair also participated in THNOC's New Orleans Life Story Project, which compiles the oral histories of notable New Orleans residents.
Like the eccentric couple, Blair was not a native of New Orleans but arrived to the city in the mid-20th-century. He left his Connecticut home for a job in the New Orleans oil business. Jon Webb (1905-1971) and his wife Lou (born 1916) traded Cleveland, Ohio, for New Orleans, lured by the city's long literary tradition that included the likes of Lafcadio Hearn, Sherwood Anderson and, of course, Tennessee Williams.
"The Webbs were following in the footsteps of a long line of restless and creative people who perhaps found themselves out of place in their own time, but found acceptance and inspiration living in New Orleans," said THNOC Senior Curator Mark Cave, who co-curated the exhibition with Assistant Library Cataloguer Nina Bozak.
Jon and Gypsy Lou settled in the French Quarter, which at the time was inhabited by many artists and free spirits, who were often considered social misfits. Gypsy Lou sold her original works of art along the streets, while Jon worked as a freelance writer and editor.
They founded the Loujon Press after Jon developed an idea for a literary magazine that would feature other "Bohemian fugitives." They dubbed the magazine, appropriately enough, The Outsider, and each copy was produced with a hand-operated printing press. Although there were only four issues from 1961 to 1968, the publication garnered significant critical attention and featured written works by Gregory Corso and William Burroughs.
Jon and Gypsy Lou's subsequent venture into book publishing was fueled in part by Blair, who provided some of the capital needed to publish Charles Bukowski's first collection of poetry. "It Catches My Heart in Its Hands" celebrates its 50th anniversary this year, and the debut of its limited first edition in 1963 drew rave reviews and increased attention to small press. Loujon went on to print Bukowski's next collection, "Crucifix in a Deathhand"(1965), which featured illustrations by New Orleans-based artist Noel Rockmore, as well as two books by Henry Miller: "Order and Chaos Chez Hans Reichel" (1966) and "Insomnia or the Devil at Large" (1970). As with The Outsider, the Loujon books were beautiful labors of love; each one typeset by Gypsy Lou, printed by Jon, and assembled by them both at home.
The exhibition explores the lives and work of Gyspy Lou and Jon Webb through objects from Blair's collection as well as paintings by Rockmore (including his widely recognized "Homage to the French Quarter") and photographs by Johnny Donnels. The display also includes copies of each title in Loujon's small but celebrated catalogue, while illuminating the Webbs' relationships with other self-proclaimed outsiders-the people, the places and the environment that inspired the creation of Loujon Press.
"The exhibition offers a glimpse into the vibrant artistic life of the French Quarter in the early '60s and introduces visitors not only to the aesthetic of that time but to the fascinating people that created it," said Cave.
Blair will be joined by art collector and restaurant owner JoAnn Clevenger and Bukowski scholar Neeli Cherkovski for a special program on Saturday, Sept. 7. Details are available below, online at www.hnoc.org, and at (504) 523-4662. Admission is free, and reservations are encouraged as seating is limited.

SweetWater's roots began back in Boulder, Colorado
in the early 90's while Freddy Beensch and Kevin McNerney
were roommates at the University of Colorado, Boulder.
During their time out west, they realized they had more of a hankering for beer than books. Their first step into the profession was washing kegs on the loading docks of a local brewery for free beer. Not a bad job when you're in college! With all this free beer, their grades went up, their cars got fixed, friends were plentiful and the sun shined a little brighter. Once they were finished with school, it was time to either find a real job, or get serious in the brewing business. Easy choice, right? Freddy and Kevin headed off to the American Brewers Guild in California aka Brewing School to sharpen up their knowledge of "Fermentation Science"! After that they were off and running brewing beer for other breweries around the west coast, learning their craft while keeping the dream of their own place alive.
In the summer of 1996, the energy and action of the Olympics brought Freddy to Atlanta.He found this town in need of a West Coast style brewery and knew that he and Kevin were just the guys to turn the local brewing scene on its ear with the hoppy, aggressive ales they had been brewing for years.
The boys scraped together (with the help of generous friends, family and loans) just enough money go get started and the first brewery for SweetWater was off of Fulton Industrial Boulevard, on Atlanta's west side. As they were building their very own brewery, Freddy sought a little cool relief by kayaking down Sweetwater Creek, in a state park just west of the brewery. The name of the brewery became obvious and the motto "Don't Float the Mainstream" became the guide.
February 17, 1997 marked the official beginning of SweetWater Brewery, and a new style of brewing and selling beer in Atlanta as the boys wandered around Atlanta in an old van with Freddy's dog Badger. After ending up on the wrong side of the tracks a few times, they were finally pointed in the direction of Virginia-Highlands and found a few bars willing to take a chance on them. "We'll give you a shot as long as your dog stops begging for leftovers on our patio" was the cautious approval they needed to get the brand rolling.
SweetWater's second and current location is in Midtown Atlanta, adjacent to Ansley Park, in the Armour Circle Industrial Park just off of Piedmont and Monroe. The boys saved all of their pennies to buy the 25,000 square feet of brewing goodness and smack in the middle of all the action. Since the company began we've wanted to be closer to our homes, the bars and stores that sell our beer, and all the good folks that drink it. Fortunately seven years of great growth gave the company that opportunity. We learned a lot from that location and left all those mistakes behind as we built our new home. SweetWater Brewing Company has been here since 2004 and it feels good to be settled in. Our new home has enough capacity to brew 100,000 barrels of beer a year (A few more years at this rate.)
