Where is C Ray?
I asked T how come we haven’t heard from C Ray, she said, I was wondering the same thing, then G said she was worried because no one has heard from him. DOES NEW ORLEANS HAVE A MAYOR? – for all of you non-New Orleanians that felt sorry for us when he got re-elected: could you find our mayor for us? He has gone underground while our pumps are not working (that is a well-kept secret here), we have no rebuilding plan just individuals dealing with the grueling aftermath of trying to get their homes done at three times the cost and three times the aggravation, and we have no PR campaign other than the fact that some factotem nutball from hell has planned the STUPIDEST “celebration” of Katrina’s anniversary as if it were another festival in New Orleans.
My friend T writes when I sent her the line up:
Masquerade Gala?? Silent Auction?? Comedy Night???? Is the mayor’s office aware that they are commemorating one of the greatest tragedies in American history? Someone needs to fire the marketing/special events planner for coming up with such a ridiculous line up. It would almost be funny if it weren’t so galling.
I emailed my bayou friends and it was decided that we are staying here, in midcity, and we are going to clean the bayou that morning and pick up our own garbage, then we are going to make some jambalaya, drink some, ney, copious amounts of alcohol, listen to New Orleans music and light candles and bask in each others love and love for this city. H&T, N and the Snake, maybe H down the hall – J, the blind man on 2nd floor – all who stayed and suffered the enormity of the rescue – we will all get together and commemorate a solemn, life altering, natural, civic and government disaster called Katrina – and we will be thankful that we had “grace under pressure” to not go insane during and afterwards and celebrate that we are participating in raising New Orleans from the brown brackish water that engulfed her and threatened to lay waste her charms.
