weather reports around here are rarely accurate. Seems like once a storm hits land here, it breaks up. If you don't like the weather, wait 15 minutes for new weather. My weather forecaster is my knee -- it acts up when it is raining outside.

Oh, the Hot 8 Brass Band is fabulous. They have had a tragic year, and I'm sure the recent goings on have dredged up a lot of bad memories for them. For those hose who don't know the story:

These guys are an inspiration for recovery through adversity -- we should all be honored to have them and must show them some appreciation. And they do, of course, put on a phenomenal show!
The question regarding specific charities was not to imply anything untoward. I simply wanted to suggest a fabulous organization that is in serious need of funding. Many of the musicians' charities have national spokesmen and huge outreach and their coffers are pretty fool. As most people know, New Orleans' health care system was basically destroyed during Katrina. For those without group health insurance, non-emergent care is not available. Emergent care is not so available, either. People with strokes are waiting up to three hours for treatment. Musicians, not having a typical job, are often without insurance. The New Orleans Musicians Clinic is a group that does fantastic work, and their services are stretched to the limit right now. http://www.neworleansmusiciansclinic.org/
Many of New Orleans best doctors volunteer their time, and the money is used for rx drugs, dme, etc. Health care is such a struggle for New Orleanians post-Katrina.

Last night, I saw a banner hanging in Modica Market's window, announcing $2 Heineken and Amstel Light singles, in bottles or cans. It seemed to be in conjunction with the Jazz Fest, so maybe it is available all week, or just this 4-day holiday extended weekend. I assume they would be cold beers, sold to go, but you cannot take them into the event.
Amavida Coffee, just down the street also has $3 certified organic beer -- what a deal! and it tastes really good -- light, hoppy beer.
