I was messing around with the new custom Google maps and created an interactive map of New Orleans bars and beyond. http://tinyurl.com/2688x4I placed the markers as close as possible to actual locations, make sure venues are open or at the same location before heading out.It always amuses me when automated directions take me 30 miles out of the way for a 10 minute drive :)

Last year was the first year in 17 years that I missed a Jazz Fest. Since we couldn't be there in person, we did the next best thing. Set up festival chairs in front of the computer, second line and dance around, cook up a bunch of Louisiana favorites, and have the Orleans Parish prisoners clean up when it's over. Yeah I'm just kidding about the prisoners, it would cost a fortune to charter a

VOTE!This is pretty cool, we get to decide who ranks as the top NOLA musician or band. Just click and move a band up (or down, but moving a band down isn't too fun, remember they gotta eat too). Since Squidoo introduced this new "Plexo" technology people are having fun clicking around, moving links up and down and having fun.

It's a tradition to kickoff Carnival in New Orleans with a streetcar ride by the Phunny Phorty Phellows. Last Saturday night the PPP started the Carnival Season in fine style. Their route started and ended at City Park, took Carrollton Avenue down to Canal Street and over to The River, returning to City Park the same route. Joining the PPP this year were The Storyville Stompers Brass Band.Most of

A réveillon is a long dinner, and possibly party, held on the evenings preceding Christmas Day and New Year's Day. The name of this dinner is based on the word réveil (meaning "waking"), because participation involves staying awake until midnight and beyond.Reveillon in New Orleans is celebrated nightly during the Christmas season in restaurants throughout the city. Menus combine ageless Creole

Last weekend's MSN broadcast of the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival was wonderful for those of us missing the Jazz Fest. Video streamed well, audio was crisp. The only gripe was audio level need to be balanced when the stream breaks away for a commercial.Quint Davis announced around 3pm on Sunday, (May 7, 2006) that Fats was sick and heading to the hospital, missing his scheduled performance
