Maybe I dreamed last night of a rainbow because it is Gay Pride weekend and not because I am Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz? Hard to say, but I can tell you that this weekend is another jam packed weekend – the Re-Bridge kids’ event tomorrow morning. Our friends Angela and Gingerbread performing outside the Bourbon Pub from 3 pm to 4pm in the Quarter. A friend whose gallery is hosting a costume party…
I am not going to say thank god it’s Friday because honestly this week has sped by and I still have piles of work that didn’t get done, meditation that I didn’t do, and so many other things that I would like to include in my day, week, life. No, instead it is Friday, and whoosh – my how time flies when you’re having fun. Tomorrow is the big kid’s event to raise awareness for…
The day was a dry run of reality – slam bam thank you mam. I was able to do yoga, get work done, get the Re-Bridge event ready to roll, and on top of all of that Tin and I were able to go to Fortier Park and get our drumming on. Base Base Open. Next week the Times Picayune is going to be in the park to do a story on the drumming circle.…
Today at 6, come to Fortier Park for some drumming and once you get your mojo going, head to the Magnolia Bridge at 7 for a head washing from our high vodou priestess Sallie Anne Glassman and some good vodou ju ju to welcome the summer and bless the coming crops who will need it given the drought conditions here in New Orleans. It’s time to embrace the bounty of our city – dry or…
When one tugs at a single thing in nature; he finds it attached to the rest of the world. – John Muir A colleague recently told me to embrace those people around me into my process or suffer. I spoke to a new person who said, “Slow down, I have time.” A dear old friend just advised me to bring others into the fold this morning. Obviously, I move too fast and that tends to…
ReBridge is hosting a kid’s event called Bayou Bridges Breakfast: Come Learn with Us that promises to be a fun-packed learning experience on Saturday morning, June 25th at 9 am. We will meet by the oak tree at the foot of the Magnolia Bridge (Moss and Harding). Parents might want to bring blankets and/or chairs. We’ll be serving the kids breakfast donated by Fatoush Restaurant, Coffee Shop and Juice Bar and Terranova Brothers Superette and…
Yesterday, a good friend of ours came over to cut Tin’s hair. I have been taking him to this really cool salon in the French Quarter but honestly nobody there wears their hair natural – its all about buzz cuts for boys and relaxers for the ladies, so I called the one person I knew who could deliver on the afro buzz – Darrin Butler to the rescue! Not only does he sport the best…
So you have heard me lament about the dearth of plays here in New Orleans, I mean we have drama but not up on stage hardly ever. When I heard the Brennan’s were wanting to take over part of Le Petit and put a restaurant in this beloved space, my spirits just sank so low I could have spit. Yesterday, there was a rally at the Columns Hotel to save Le Petit from becoming yet…
I’ve been feeling like a snowball lately rolling down a big glacierous mountain and that is not just a comment on my weight. Honestly, I’m feeling a little more svelte than usual having given up the gin and tonics. No I’m speaking about emerging from this cocoon that I had found myself in, this cloister where I was not able to grow one iota – I was about to be a dead moth trapped in…
