If you're going to the NOLA Mardi Gras, try to catch my boys from Boston - the Revolutionary Snake Ensemble - marching with the Krewe of Muses on 2/15 or at Circle Bar on 2/13 (with "special local guests" on tuba and trombone).

[Blainn]

8 o'crock early! It's a power thru WE, Lundigras and Mardi Gras fer sure!

No sleep for the wicked!

[funkkjunkie]

Well, my choices would be:
Feb.16th- The Rads and Johnny Sketch at Tips. Great deal and a great location with great bands!!

Feb. 17th- (i'm going to the Dumpstaphunk/Cowboy Mouth show at HOB)
Since you didn't pick that, I'd see Soul Rebels at Cafe Brasil and then bounce around Frenchmen St. which will be hopping....

Feb. 18th-WITHOUT A DOUBT THIS ONE!!! Souls of NOLA Mardi Gras Soiree' featuring: Anders Osborne, Big Chief Monk Boudreaux, Hot 8 Brass Band, Papi Mali, Rich Vogel and Robert Mercurio. One Eyed Jacks. $18 advance and $20 at the door.

Feb. 19th- George Porter, Jr. w/ Bonerama. Howlin' Wolf at 10pm-No Cover

Feb. 20th- Frenchmen Street at night....nuff said :)

Don't forget about the Zulu Lundi Gras Fest all day at Woldenberg Park off Decatur at the river. Great bands, great food and fun, fun, fun....FREE :)

[Amy Winette]

What Corona said ;)

[rosetree]

Damn!!!! Y'all are going to be busy...
Theme song.... Great Warren Zevon song.....

So much to do, there's plenty on the farm
I'll sleep when I'm dead
Saturday night I like to raise a little harm
I'll sleep when I'm dead

I'm drinking heartbreak motor oil and Bombay gin
I'll sleep when I'm dead
Straight from the bottle, twisted again
I'll sleep when I'm dead

Well, I take this medicine as prescribed
I'll sleep when I'm dead
It don't matter if I get a little tired
I'll sleep when I'm dead

I've got a .38 special up on the shelf
I'll sleep when I'm dead
If I start acting stupid
I'll shoot myself
I'll sleep when I'm dead

So much to do, there's plenty on the farm
I'll sleep when I'm dead
Saturday night I like to raise a little harm
I'll sleep when I'm dead

Yay! I haven't seen banzai bill in ages. He was one of the first THs I met in 98. My blowup mattress is still in the marigny at bro bill's house and i'm planning on picking it up while i'm there in feb. So we can use it if need be.

[pokerchick66]

Saw this the other day and forgot to post it:

"The New Orleans City Council on Thursday gave up its quest to return the Krewe of Endymion to its traditional Mid-City route this year, acquiescing in Mayor Ray Nagin's decision that the superkrewe should parade Uptown because of a shortage of police officers."

[funkkjunkie]

Where's egg yolk jubilee? Jordan, just you and your wife this trip?

[Amy Winette]

Me, along for ride. Except, of course, for Cowboy Mouth :)

[Jordan]

Egg Yolk is playing at the Saturn Bar after Bacchus. And yes, just Nancy and I (no kids for Mardi Gras) What will we do with all the time?

[Orleansnj]

am thinking of getting on a plane to go to Mardi Gras after readin' your posts.....<sigh>...too much money at this point...oh - it is killing me !! you guys are going to have so much fun it is ridiculous !

I know, it's killing me, too. It's bad enough to miss MG in NOLA, but I'm also missing it in my hometown of St. Louis---first time I've missed any MG in 16 years. My body is in shock. I will just have to make up for it by having twice the fun at Fest.

Jordan, email me at ibjamn50@yahoo.com There are lots of TH meet-ups/events for MG and I'd like to tell you & Nancy about them. :)

[grisgris]

Here's just one more little event to tickle your fancy. Yes that is right 24 hours of music.

Monday, 2/19 until Tuesday, 2/20 (6 p.m. to 6 p.m.) Mardi Gras Fun(K)stravaganza 2007 featuring the music of: Big Sam’s Funky Nation, Big Chief Monk Boudreaux, CC Adcock & the Lafayette Marquis, Gradoux, Groovesect, Rhythmic Roots Revelers featuring: Cyril Neville, Shannon Powell, Alfred “Uganda” Roberts, Big Chief Little Charles Taylor, Wild Man Ivory Holmes, and others
:eek:

[Orleansnj]

okay - that's it - you've killed me.

I'm now going to spend lunch hour surfing for plane fares that won't make my eyes pop out......

[Jordan]

Try gulfport or Baton Rouge, that usually helps a bit
