OMFG, I'm sooo excited about going to New Orleans for the Jazz and Heritage Festival!
Gobs of musicians, artists, artisans (c.j. chenier, stevie wonder, john prine, kermit ruffins, neville bros., michael franti & spearhead, rebirth brass band, dirty dozen brass band, the radiators, ann savoy, hot club of new orleans, the roots, marcia ball, the raconteurs, keb' mo', galactic...i'm heaven-bound!),
Our still-gutted house on the Lower 9th/Holy Cross cusp (moldy drywall all gone, water-warped studs mostly replaced, the whole damned thing raised 18", water finally flowing to both storeys, still no electricity, still not quite liveable, though i wanna live there anyway),
...and Food...did I mention the food? (dead animals ever'where y'look, y'all, ain't no lie: red fish bouillabaisse, crawfish pie, cornbread, poulet fricassee, jambalaya, couscous and veg, beignets, innumerable barbecues, fuckin snoballs!, pralines, fried alligator po'boys, crawfish bread for otter to shove into his drunken pockets for later-snacks, cracklins, muffulettas, crowder peas and okra, pheasant quail & andouille gumbo, catfish almondine, and red beans & rice. damn!).
Oh, Lawdy.
Oh, Lawdy, I'm excited, y'all.
