BILL OF RIGHTS DAY

Bill of Rights Day (by Presidential Proclamation)


“Now, Therefore, I, Franklin D. Roosevelt, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate December 15, 1941, as Bill of Rights Day. And I call upon the officials of the Government, and upon the people of the United States, to observe the day by displaying the flag of the United States on public buildings and by meeting together for such prayers and such ceremonies as may seem to them appropriate.”


The first 10 amendments to the United States Constitution make up the Bill of Rights. Passed by Congress on September 25, 1789, these rights place limits on government power.

Did you know?

  • The bill was introduced by James Madison. He later became the 4th President of the United States.
  • Congress passed 12 of Madison’s proposed amendments. The states only ratified 10 of them. One of the two rejected by the states concerned the number of constituents for each Representative. The other limited when and how members of Congress are compensated. Neither was ratified at the time.
  • The latter of the two rejected amendments was ratified 203 years later. The 27th Amendment restricted compensation for members of Congress. 
  • The Bill of Rights is displayed in The Rotunda of the National Archives Building in Washington, DC.
  • There were 14 copies made; one for each of the 13 states to sign and one for the federal archives. Only 12 copies survive today.

NOLA on Tap Returns

Yeah You Right Events tabbed to bring back Louisiana’s Largest Beer Festival


New Orleans, LA. – NOLA on Tap, the beloved beer festival in support of the Louisiana Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (LASPCA), will return to the festival calendar in 2023. 


Yeah You Right Events, a new partnership between Top Taco and Food Fight producer Shane Finkelstein and restaurateur and Cinco de Mayo Fest producer Oscar Chimal, will take charge of the popular homebrew and craft beer festival. While some changes will be in store for NOLA on Tap, the LASPCA will remain sole beneficiary of the event.


Top Taco and Food Fight have become can’t-miss food festivals in the city. Yeah You Right Events aims to make NOLA on Tap look more like those events while still retaining many of the features that made it one of the largest beer festivals in the country. 


Homebrewers will still battle it out for coveted awards and top-notch live musical acts will still grace the stages, but NOLA on Tap will now be a 21 and over ticketed event, and move from City Park on the fall calendar to Lafreniere Park on March 18th, 2023 from 2pm-7pm.


“We really wanted to take NOLA on Tap out of hurricane season,” said event producer Shane Finkelstein. “We love Lafreniere Park for the type of events that we do and its proximity to the city. It really is the perfect venue for medium-sized festivals.”


Other changes will include an all-inclusive ticket package for beer-lovers and a VIP Experience that will include a crawfish boil, open bar, signature beers, lounge seating, private restrooms, and additional food and entertainment. 


Early bird tickets will start at $10 for “Designated Drivers” and $35 for unlimited beer samples, while all-inclusive VIP tickets will start at $95 and end up at $125 at the gate.


“We are so excited to have Yeah You Right Events bring back NOLA on Tap,” says CEO of the LASPCA, Ana Zorrilla. “We couldn’t have asked for a better group to bring it back after a 3 year-long hiatus.” 


When NOLA on Tap was conceived back in 2009, Abita Brewing was the only brewery in Louisiana. Today, there are over 40 breweries in the state and dozens more around the Gulf Coast. The goal of Yeah You Right Events is to have every local and regional brewery represented at this year’s festival. 

“From Gnarly Barley and Urban South to NOLA Brewing Company and Bayou Teche, we now have some of the best breweries in the country right in our backyard,” said Oscar Chimal. 


A craft beer competition will be added to NOLA on Tap so festival-goers and celebrity judges can vote for their favorite Pilsners, Lagers, Porters, Sours, and Stouts.


Another feature added to the festival will be the Doggie Drag Show presented by Petcetera. Come out and watch our lovable pups strut their stuff on the runway and sign up to be a foster for those waiting to be adopted. 


The goal is to raise $100,000 for the LASPCA so they can continue to do the important work they do in our community.


Tickets will go on sale on December 15th.

For her 60th birthday, a divorcee decided to treat herself to a stay in a swanky hotel in a nearby city. As she was checking in, she picked up a newspaper entertainment section. There, in the back, we’re these sexy ads of young hunks offering massages and hinting at maybe a little fun. One guy looked really handsome. She dialed. 

“Hello. Can I help you?”

  Gawd, he sounded sexy. 

  “Yes,” she said. “I’d like a full body massage. And, oh, the heck with it. I’m in town for my birthday. What I really want is hot sec all night long. Bring your oils, sex toys and give me all you’ve got. What do you think?”

  “I think it sounds wonderful, ma’am, but to get an outside line at the hotel, you have to dial 9 first.”

when over 30,000 New Orleans workers walked off the job to fight for shorter work days, increased pay, and ‘closed’ 

union shops. It was a successful interracial organizing event that shut down the city for days before winning workers’ 

historic rights. The new immersive play is produced by Goat in the Road and set in the HIstoric BK House and Gardens, 

so during the show, audience members will be able to explore the historic property, following the characters and storylines 

they choose. The production will take place on the ground level of the courtyard and surrounding buildings, making it 

accessible to all. This stately 1826 mansion in the French Quarter contains collections from the Beauregard Family and 

from noted author Frances Parkinson Keyes.

WOMEN'S BASKETBALL

LSU Women's Basketball


Angel Reese scored a career high 32 points on 13-15 shooting as the No. 11 LSU women’s basketball team (10-0) defeated Lamar (4-5) on Wednesday night in the PMAC, 88-42.

“I let the game come to me and my teammates do a good job for me,” Reese said.

Reese finished with a career high 32, breaking her previous record of 31 set in this year’s season opener against Bellarmine. The Maryland transfer also led the team in rebounds with 15. Reese’s performance secured her tenth double-double in just as many games to open the season. She is the first LSU player with double-digit consecutive double-doubles since Sylvia Fowles had 19 straight during the 2006-07 season.

“That feels really good to be named with one of the best post players ever to play the game so I’m really excited,” Reese said. “Being at LSU, I’ve been able to accomplish a lot of things but I couldn’t do it without my coaches and teammates so I’m just happy to be here.”

“She was getting lots of looks and layups,” Coach Kim Mulkey said. “Consequently, she was 13-for-15 from the field. Her production in the second quarter allowed us to finally get going.”

The undefeated Tigers are set to head to Maui, Hawaii Thursday morning for two games over the weekend against Montana State on Saturday and Oregon State on Sunday. LSU will then be off over the holidays before beginning SEC play on December 29th at Arkansas.

Flau’jae Johnson finished the night with 21 points and 8 rebounds. Johnson broke the 20-point margin for the second time in her career in Wednesday night’s wins and she added 8 rebounds.

Jasmine Carson was the only other Tiger to finish in double figures as she scored a dozen and went 4-8 from behind the arc. Kateri Poole tied her career high assists as she racked up 7 total, Lamar didn’t earn a single assist. This her fourth time to reach 7 in a game and her first time to do so at LSU.  

The Cardinals were led by Sabrina Dean as she finished with 15 points and went 6-15 from the field. Portia Adams led the visitors in rebounds with 8 and was second in points with 14.

LSU held Lamar to 0 assists throughout the entire game.

Spanish New Orleans and the Caribbean / La Nueva Orleans y el Caribe españoles

Free ticketed admission / Acceso gratuito con entrada


About the Exhibition / Sobre la exposición

New Orleans has long been identified—by locals, tourists, and historians alike—with its French heritage. A groundbreaking exhibition at The Historic New Orleans Collection restores balance to that assessment. During four decades under Spanish rule (1762–1803), the city experienced natural disaster, diplomatic tensions, and demographic transformation. Despite numerous challenges, Spanish New Orleans morphed from a poorly managed outpost on the edge of an empire to a highly urbanized colonial capital—one enriched by the racial and cultural diversity for which it is celebrated today.


Rare Artifacts come to New Orleans for Exhibition on Spanish Colonial Era

Free bilingual display on view Oct. 20, 2022–Jan. 22, 2023


Features more than 120 objects — including maps, documents, furniture, paintings, books and more — from THNOC’s permanent holdings as well as from several institutions in Spain, Mexico and the United States. The display is the first and only time this selection of objects will be presented together in one space.

 

In a first for THNOC, “Spanish New Orleans and the Caribbean / La Nueva Orleans y el Caribe españoles” will be presented in both English and Spanish.

  

“Spanish New Orleans and the Caribbean” will be on view on the first level of THNOC’s Tricentennial Wing at 520 Royal St. in the French Quarter from Oct. 29, 2022, through Jan. 22, 2023. Admission is free. Advance reservations are recommended and may be made at my.hnoc.org beginning Thursday, Oct.13, 2022. For more information, visit www.hnoc.org.

The Historic New Orleans Collection

Join us in celebrating the New Orleans debut of "Notre-Dame de Paris: The Augmented Exhibition," an interactive experience that offers a glimpse into the past, present, and future of a landmark that has weathered wars, witnessed Napoleon's coronation, withstood a devastating fire in 2019, and is now undergoing a meticulous restoration to return the structure to its former glory.

Each visitor will be issued a HistoPad as their portal into the past that offers unique insight into the cathedral's historical timeline, plus fun activities for the entire family.

After stunning audiences in Paris, Dubai, and Washington DC, we are excited to be only the second US institution to host the exhibition, which will be on view through March 1 in THNOC's Tricentennial Wing at 520 Royal Street.

Admission is free, with timed-ticketing reservations required. Learn more and reserve tickets: hnoc.org/notre-dame

NATIONAL CUPCAKE DAY

Each year, December 15th also recognizes National Cupcake Day. The cupcake was originally known as the 1-2-3-4 cake because the recipe called for 1 cup of butter, 2 cups of sugar, 3 cups of flour, 4 eggs, and also 1 cup of milk, and 1 spoonful of baking soda.



Even the word cupcake sounds like a miniature celebration. They’ve been known by other phrases that make us put our hands together in glee, too! For example:

  • Fairy Cakes
  • Patty Cakes
  • Cup Cakes (different from Cupcakes (one-word)

Someone must have wanted to surprise a loved one with a sweet, single-serving treat when they invented the cupcake. One of the first recipes for a cupcake can be traced back to 1796. A recipe notation for a cake to be baked in small cups was written in American Cookery (by Amelia Simmons). Don’t you wonder if she made them for her children or grandchildren?

The earliest known documentation of the term cupcake shows up in 1828 in Seventy-five Receipts for Pastry, Cakes, and Sweetmeats. The cookbook was by Eliza Leslie. Maybe she just liked individual servings. 

Bakers originally baked cupcakes in heavy pottery cups. Today, some bakers still use individual ramekins, small coffee mugs, larger teacups, or other small ovenproof pottery-type dishes for baking their cupcakes. They do make a beautiful presentation for these miniature cakes. 

Today, cupcakes are an artform. Bakers create elaborate decorations and displays utilizing a variety of ingredients. Whether they’re the centerpiece of a wedding, birthday, or anniversary cupcakes satisfy everyone’s sweet tooth. Colorful and fun, these single-serving delights offer a pleasing option when planning any celebration.

The single-serve cake makes it convenient for serving and sharing. Today there are a variety of recipes and just as many flavors to choose from.

Derby Gisclair


The building located at 46 Esplanade Street at the corner of Chartres Street (now 600 Esplanade Street) was constructed in 1834 for attorney Henry Raphael “Harry” Denis, Jr. During its lifetime the property has undergone several phases and functions.

It was the home of attorney Alonzo Michael Morphy, father of the famed chess master Paul Morphy, before he moved the family to Royal Street in 1841. In 1860 it was a school for young Creole children operated by Madame Egerie Vatinel. In 1911 the home was auctioned as part of the succession of Fannie Oliver, widow of Aristide Bienvenu. In 1932 the top floor was the studio for noted artist Paul Ninas. It was owned by C.M. Davis, Jr. in the 1960s and was once again auctioned in mid-1980 following his death. It remains a private residence today.

In 1884 the house was occupied by Dr. Jokichi Takamine when he was one of many co-commissioners of the World Industrial & Cotton Exposition. He became close friends with Lafcadio Hearn who would later relocate to Japan. Takamine would also return to Japan in 1888 for a short period before returning to America, settling in New York. He was responsible for the discovery of adrenalin in 1901, the first hormone isolated in pure form. He was also the benefactor and donor of 3,000 flowering cherry trees to the city of Washington, DC in 1912.




Ain't There (dere) No More - New Orleans

Matthew Dillon 

The Music Hall of the 1884 World Cotton Centennial with a Christmas Tree on display.

Notice the pipe organ in the rear of the building? The remnants of that organ are housed within Immaculate Conception (Jesuits) church at 130 Baronne Street.

The pipe organ was originally built by Pilcher. It was the biggest pipe organ manufactured by the company. The organ had major renovations and additions by M.P. Moller before it was given to the Jesuit Fathers.

It operated in the original church and was moved to the Roosevelt Hotel, across the street, while the church was being reconstructed. The organ was then installed in the 'new' 1929 church, with modifications by M.P. Moller.

The organ's facade contained 32 foot tall Open Diapason pipes, with Moorish Revival style stenciling on them.

The organ was later abandoned, but left intact inside the structure.

Thanks to Keith Himel for this History of the Organ.

In its 20-year history, the competition has only happened five times and has only been outside the US in places like Munich, Tokyo and Austria. It will attract people worldwide to the city whose best-known bike event involves naked people.

Craig Klein is with James Andrews 

We wanted to put up the ticket link for the "DONNA'S REVISITED" show that is taking place at Chickie Wah Wah on Thursday, Dec. 29 from 8-11pm. It's going to be a fun night of music featuring the Leroy Jones Quintet, the swinging band from back in the day when we used to play every Saturday at Donna's Bar & Grill which was on Rampart Street and Saint Ann. There's going to be lots of original music we used to play from the Leroy Jones songbook along with our very swinging arrangements of some great New Orleans music.

Donna's was the place where real and good New Orleans music was played and it was the place where musicians would hang out after or before and sometimes during their gigs. It was the brass band headquarters for many years then Donna and her husband, Charlie, who did all the amazing cooking from that little kitchen in the back, started having bands like Leroy's and Bob French's. It was a very important establishment in the New Orleans music scene for lots of years and it was always very friendly to musicians and the music lovers who hung out there. We all met some incredible people and established some life long

friendships. Lots of bands developed their sound in that small soulful room.

So on Dec. 29 we will be reminicing about Donna's Bar and Grill with music and Free Red Beans ( I would say like Charlie used to do, but he would never share his recipes, but if anybody happens to know his recipe, maybe we could get you to cook them).

The band that played and traveled the world together is Leroy Jones - trumpet, Gerald French - Drums, Mitchell Player - bass, Paul Longstreth - piano, Craig Klein - trombone.

Come get some of this....

$15 presale/$20 at the door. (thats inexpensive prices BTW)

The game is set for Noon CT in Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida and will mark the third time the Tigers have played in the bowl game since 2016.

After dropping back-to-back games to both Georgia and Texas A&M to end the season, it was inevitable the Tigers’ lofty bowl expectations would diminish, pushing them to a Citrus Bowl berth.
