CeeLo Green, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Gregg Allman Band to headline Gretna Heritage Festival BY KEVIN ALLMAN

n the morning after my last drunk, I felt crushed the moment I woke up. Hazy memories of the previous night crowded my mind and I lay in bed, dreading the moment of seeing my roommates again. I lay there until the memories were so awful that I couldn’t take it anymore. I tiptoed out of my room, hoping no one else was home. Unfortunately, not only were all three of my roommates home, but so were their friends and siblings who had packed into our tiny Tulane apartment. They all were staring at the floor and no one would look me in the eye. My closest friend sucked in a deep breath and, her voice shaking, told me to go back to a 12-step program, because “Maybe those people will know what to do with you, because we certainly don’t.” I was 21. My life was over. Since that day more than four years ago, a lot of great things have happened to me. New Orleans has adopted me as its own, despite the facts that a) I didn’t go to high school here (a big question in this city) and b) I don’t drink. I also don’t smoke weed, snort coke, pop pills or shoot dope, because none of that worked out very well for me either. In sobriety, I have done things that I never thought I could do, sober or drinking. In no particular order: danced in second lines, attended Galactic’s Lundi Gras show at Tipitina’s, conquered several Jazz Fests, whomped at Bassnectar, was a unicorn on Frenchmen Street for Halloween, whomped at Pretty Lights (yep, lots of whomping), twerked onstage with Big Freedia, helped my dad during his stage IV lung cancer, danced in the sand while Stevie Wonder played Hangout Fest, had my work published for the first time, graduated with honors, covered music festivals for major press outlets, attended a funeral (he died of alcoholism), fell in love, fell out of love, met Leonardo DiCaprio, survived terrible blind dates, supportPAGE 8

NEWS: The push to ban smoking in

What’s Trending Online

Beck coming to New Orleans Oct. 5

‘Sober in New Orleans’: Your perspectives Jules Bentley’s recent cover story “Sober in New Orleans” (July 29) inspired dozens of emails, tweets and Facebook posts from Gambit readers. Some were angry with Bentley’s take on his own sobriety; others didn’t agree with his conclusions, but found it a powerful and personal piece of writing. And some loved it. Others thought Gambit shouldn’t have published the story at all, saying Bentley’s struggles might dissuade others from getting help. Still others wondered why there was no mention of Alcoholics Anonymous or other 12-step programs. A couple of people called Bentley a “dry drunk.” We collected many of your responses and put them online, and we read and commented on them as well. Two responses, however, were thoughtful, sometimes painful essays that addressed our original question with hard-won honesty: In a town pervaded by alcohol, what does it truly mean to be sober? Both writers asked us to remove their names before publication. Their words are some of the most powerful writing I’ve read lately. Here are their stories, in their words. — Kevin Allman, editor

ed myself financially, got the job, met the man of my dreams, told my story at a treatment center, got a big girl job, was promoted to editor, attended multiple Mardi Gras balls, followed Mardi Gras Indians on Super Sunday, saw the Flaming Lips when they broke a Guinness World Record, sampled every food dish at the New Orleans Food & Wine Festival … The list goes on and on, and I am only 25 years old. These things aren’t incredible because I’m sober. They’re incredible because of how I am today compared to how I used to be, which was a complete and utter disaster. For over four years now, I have been a person who can be relied on, told things and trusted. No one I work with today would ever guess my past history, because “out-of-control drunken mess” just doesn’t jibe with the responsible, caring woman I’ve grown into. If you have a problem with drinking, please don’t think you have to give up New Orleans too. It’s been the best thing about my sobriety. There are many resources available to you, such as 12step programs, treatment centers (both outpatient and inpatient) and therapy. You’ll find a whole community of people who can teach you how they enjoy life in New Orleans without drinking. What’s New Orleans like sober? Well, it’s like home, and I never want to leave.

came to New Orleans for oblivion and found god. I don’t mean the god you hear when I say god. I mean something that is in everything, that exists between us, and that I could only find through drugs and alcohol before I got sober. Don’t get me wrong: running barefoot through the French Quarter and challenging anyone who will take me on to barstool spinning contests at Johnny White’s because I had to leave Jazz Fest because Bonnie Raitt was controlling the weather and her brothers were about to make it rain is a blast. So were the times I wrestled the guy who had just given me cocaine in the bathroom of The John at six in the morning while wearing my stained $12 seersucker suit from Bloomin’ Deals. And who doesn’t love to drive up and down Dauphine Street at 10 mph, bumping into cars parked too close together, while screaming the lyrics of “Waltzing Mathilda” along with Tom Waits. Waking up with bruises and bumps is a small price to pay for a night or a week or a month or five years of forgetting everything in New Orleans. I didn’t stop drinking because of drinking. I loved to drink. It gave me life. It gave me joie de vivre. I turned into a madman before and after every full moon. And there were so many people to drink with. The Quarter is filled with wonderful souls who will happily stand beside me at breakfast time outside Lounge Lizards and shout to the bourgeoisie, “You’re all slaves!” What I learned is that I didn’t have a problem with drinking. I was damn good at drinking — save for those times I may

have broken pint glasses after slamming down a drink or accidentally kissed your girlfriend. Or the time I lost the motorcycle I bought with my FEMA money. Not lost like those many times I found it days later in front of some dive bar. Lost like gone. What I didn’t know how to do was live without drinking, and I got a glimpse of this while evacuating for Hurricane Katrina with people I knew only from drinking. I got to see their fears, their worries and who they were as people. Not the actors on barstools. I saw that many of them were just as afraid as [I was]. I don’t mean of the storm or the repercussions. I mean of life. You can’t tell anybody this while you’re sitting on a barstool. Don’t get me wrong — for some

the rest of the people in New Orleans do. I will tell you that eating crawfish straight out of the pot is much better when you are very drunk. So is sleeping with women who you aren’t attracted to. Back to what this man (and many others) did for me. They loved me. And what I learned was that they were doing this to ensure their own sobriety, and not only to ensure their own sobriety, but to find “god.” And wasn’t that all I was looking for in the bottle? A spiritual experience? A need to be OK? Sobriety sucks in the first few days, weeks even, but for me, by the second or third month, I believe because I was helping others and righting my wrongs, I would wake up on St. Philip and Villere

If you have a problem with drinking, please don’t think you have to give up New Orleans too. it is just a happy-go-lucky-bender-night or a stage-I’m-going-through-that-willchange-when-I-have-a-kid-or-get-theright-job drunk. The beautiful thing about New Orleans is that either way nobody will question you. And for some this is just fine, but for an alcoholic like me — using medicine to mask the pain — it only creates more delusion. Didn’t I say I found god? What I meant was that I found you. I found a way to love everyone. … I mean truly love everyone without keeping score or thinking what I could get or what he said or why she isn’t calling or …. That’s all that I mean. And I couldn’t have found that alone. And I couldn’t have found that at a bar. I needed someone who had once been just as deluded but had found a way out. I met some guys. They told me what they had done, asked me if I was willing to go to any lengths to stay sober. I had heard this before, but this time I was out of ideas. Sobriety sucked. Hear me, please. I quit drinking because being sober sucked. That’s usually an earmark of a real alcoholic. It is also called a dry drunk. Or untreated alcoholism. I didn’t know this then. What I did know was that I was either going to have to be drunk all day and night for the rest of my life or I was going to have to listen to someone else. That guy — the one I listened to — took me to see Reverend Horton Heat when I was two months sober, and I danced like such a crazed man that I must have lost a pint of sweat. He took me out to see live music and to get donuts at three in the morning, and we went to BBQ’s and ate pizza and I met friends at bars and bought a house in the ’hood and got to know all of my neighbors and gave them vegetables that we grew together and had events that brought the community together. I did most everything that all

to horns blowing outside my window and smoke rising and curling with a wisp of tangy deliverance that beckoned me down the stairs of my Creole cottage and into the street where I joined in the throng of people celebrating the life of one who has died, dancing and bending and laughing as I met the eyes of everyone from the man tapping the Irish Rose bottle to the old lady on her porch waving at everyone who passed by, and man … sobriety was working. Now I know sobriety sucks after five months for some, five years for others, etc., etc., but it is my belief, based on my experience and the observations of others, that it doesn’t have to suck. That man who took me to see the Rev. Horton Heat … what he did first was show me how to look at how there was a common denominator in all my problems and resentments and how my fears had been there since I was a kid and neither I nor alcohol could rid me of them. He showed me how to make things right with those I had harmed. Then he drove me out to a place on the West Bank at the end of Manhattan Boulevard where there are hundreds of drunks who need help. He gave me help and then showed me how to give these other men help. And that helped him. And those drunks helped me. For once in my life, I was able to stop thinking about myself, and that is my problem. When I go somewhere now it is not about what I can get, but what I can give. Sometimes that’s a hand with the dishes. Sometimes that’s listening to a friend as we sit outside the detox on St. Ann at six in the morning waiting for the doors to open — again. What do I do now that I am sober? Whatever I want. Where do I go now that I’m sober? Wherever I want. That is the beauty of being recovered. And there is so much more to tell you.

NEWS VIEWS SCUTTLEBUTT Quote of the week

“I strongly support the Common Core standards. When you actually look at the standards — which is what Common Core is about — people who really read them, that may not be a whole, whole, whole lot, but when you look at them I think they’re very strong, significant, positive standards.” — Sen. David Vitter, joining the flip-flop club when it comes to the controversial Common Core educational standards. At a fundraiser in January, Vitter called the standards “heavy-handed big government education policies.” Common Core is supported by many business organizations in Louisiana, and Vitter has announced he’s running for governor next year. It’s the mirror image of Gov. Bobby Jindal’s own flip-flop; Jindal praised Common Core when it was first developed by the National Governors Association and is now trying to lead the charge against it in Louisiana since the program has proved unpopular among many right-wing Republicans.

it could. “We’ve had some violent attacks right outside the doors of this church,” Cannizzaro said. “We pay taxes in the City of New Orleans, too. Aren’t we entitled to that same protection from that same law enforcement agency that’s working in the French Quarter?” Of the 64 parishes in the state of Louisiana, 63 are patrolled by LSP, Cannizzaro said, while Orleans Parish is not. The overwhelming question from the audience was what any of them could do about it. Cannizzaro urged community members to write to Gov. Bobby Jindal to demand additional protection, an answer that 24-year-old St. Roch resident Darrell Tobias didn’t feel did the issue justice. “They’re the elected officials, they have the influence and guidance,” he told Gambit. NOPD 5th District Commander Christopher Goodly said, as he has in other meetings, that the number of officers on his force has decreased from 112 in 2011 to 79 now. That decrease, Cannizzaro said, comes from the city not PAGE 10

Trouble in St. Roch All summer, 50 Louisiana State Police (LSP) troopers have patrolled the French Quarter to increase crime-fighting efforts in that neighborhood in response to Mayor Mitch Landrieu’s request for state and federal assistance after a shooting on Bourbon Street in June left one woman dead and nine other people wounded. Those state patrols, however, will end after Labor Day weekend. At a meeting Aug. 6 at Our Lady Star of the Sea Catholic Church in the St. Roch neighborhood — the fourth in a series of community talks District C City Councilwoman Nadine Ramsey organized to address crime — someone asked why LSP weren’t patrolling St. Roch or any other part of Orleans Parish. Orleans Parish District Attorney Leon Cannizzaro told a crowd of about 30 people that the New Orleans Police Department (NOPD) was doing all

allocating the necessary funding to NOPD. Bill Murphy, vice-president of the Faubourg St. Roch Improvement Association, was attacked and mugged last month during a spate of violence. Murphy told Gambit the most frustrating thing is a lack of community involvement in the efforsts of the neighborhood association. “I’m still optimistic,” Murphy told Gambit. “It’s not just the meeting; the meeting is one thing. There’s frustration because we need more neighborhood participation. … A lot of people don’t know these things exist.” Murphy said during the meeting that people in St. Roch are scared, even though the police have added an extra patrol in the neighborhood. “I never had an illusion that it was all that safe,” Murphy told Gambit. “I understand the dangers of the neighborhood. You try to avoid it. [My attackers] came around the corner ready to do something.” As for the attacks, Murphy said, “The violence we see here is more the drug trade. And the drug dealers don’t go around just beating people up. … This is a loose cannon thing. It’s random.” The neighborhood association will host its own crime meeting at 6 p.m. Aug. 14 at the St. Roch Community Church. — JEANIE RIESS

Mayor Lee Leffingwell issued the proclamation, which reads, in part: “As Governor, Edwin Edwards reorganized state government and, as an outspoken civil rights leader, appointed more minorities and women to high governmental positions than had any governor in Louisiana history. … We welcome Edwin Edwards as a visitor to our City and are pleased to join in congratulating him on his upcoming birthday and in wishing him a wonderful celebration with friends here.” When asked on Twitter how to celebrate the day, Edwards replied, “Do what I’m going to do, grab the nearest #Republican and give them a big kiss, Chere!” But Edwards wasn’t the only person to receive a dedication that day: Leffingwell also issued a proclamation to Austin rock band Quiet Company for “Quiet Company Day.” Unimpressed with sharing the honor, the band called the simultaneous proclamation “blasphemy.” — ALEX WOODWARD

NOPD reached an agreement on the new policy with the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP), hoping it “will make policing in a hot climate a little more bearable,” according to an FOP statement.

COMMENTARY

thinking out loud

Policing Bourbon uring his reforms of the New Orleans Police Department (NOPD) in the 1990s, thenSuperintendent Richard Pennington instituted a ban on cops working detail shifts at privately owned bars — a practice that had existed for decades in New Orleans. There were plenty of problems with the previous system of moonlighting, including the fact that some cops made more money at it than they did from their NOPD jobs. It essentially was a private security system cloaked, literally, in official uniform, and it left many cops tired when it came to working their day jobs. It also gave cops a financial stake in local bars, which in turn encouraged them to turn a blind eye to violations, which ranged from drug dealing to serving minors. What Pennington proposed in its place was a new system in which businesses could pool their money and hire off-duty cops to patrol a small neighborhood — but cops could not be attached to particular establishments. That old idea got new life last week when the members

depart after Labor Day. The FQBL plan would put extra officers on the street for at least six months, after which the results could be evaluated. The June shooting on Bourbon Street that injured nine people and killed one was just the latest egregious incident in the tourist-heavy district. On the weekend before Mardi Gras 2013, four people were shot in a thick crowd near the corner of Bourbon and St. Louis streets. Near the same corner, one man was killed and several wounded during a violent Halloween night in 2011. Each time, city and police officials vowed to crack down on crime on Bourbon Street, and each time something heinous happened again on a street that feels more and more out of control as the night goes on. At the time of the June shooting, NOPD “beat books” obtained by WWL-TV showed that four officers were working Bourbon Street. Any more feet on the beat can only help. The Quarter merchants’ plan seems sound, but its success will depend on the NOPD. A report released last week

The Quarter merchants’ plan seems sound, but its success will depend on the NOPD.

A New Orleans Tradition Since 1918

of the French Quarter Business League (FQBL, formerly known as the Bourbon Business Alliance) unanimously approved a plan that would call for FQBL members to pay off-duty police officers to patrol Bourbon Street. The donations would be voluntary, totaling more than $10,000 per week to put more police on the street. The money for the plan would be pooled, as Pennington suggested years ago. While some New Orleans neighborhoods have enacted special taxing districts (Lakeview and Mid-City among them) to pay for extra NOPD patrols, the Bourbon Street merchants’ system is different because it would involve no taxes. The Quarter’s crime problem is serious enough that the FQBL passed the proposal unanimously. You don’t have to walk down Bourbon Street late at night to know this is an idea that’s long overdue; just talk to anyone who lives or works near the tourist area. District C City Councilwoman Nadine Ramsey has held several public meetings since a series of June shootings — in the French Quarter, Bywater and St. Roch — and at each, frustrated and frightened residents have received the same answer from NOPD officers: There are not enough of them. Fifty state troopers began working in New Orleans this summer, but they will

by the Office of Inspector General (OIG) found lingering problems with the NOPD’s paid detail system. The problems ranged from cops not reporting detail work to their supervisors to failing to enter officers’ hours into the computer. “If paid details are not properly approved and scheduled, NOPD is understaffed while officers work details on city time,” the OIG report warned. Coincidentally, that’s one of the major problems that Pennington tried to correct in the 1990s. (For what it’s worth, Police Chief Ronal Serpas says the OIG’s office used data from the first quarter of 2013, when New Orleans celebrated Mardi Gras and hosted Super Bowl XLVII, and that the antiquated payroll system used then has since been replaced.) In a city reeling from violent crime, some have voiced resentment that the tourist-heavy areas of the city seem to get more attention from police after a violent incident. That’s understandable. Everyone wants to live in a safe neighborhood with adequate police protection. But if French Quarter businesses are ready to pony up extra money each week to help make Bourbon safer, it won’t be just visitors who benefit but also the thousands of New Orleanians who work and live in the French Quarter. This plan deserves a chance.

BLAKE PONTCHARTRAIN™ Questions for Blake: askblake@gambitweekly.com

Hey Blake,

What is the history behind the gargoyle on the side of the old building at 701 Jackson Ave.?

Dear Reader,

P H O T O B Y K A N D A C E P O W ER G R AV E S

Hey Blake,

Who is Leake Avenue named after? Lawrence Leake Ocean Springs, Miss.

Dear Lawrence,

Leake Avenue runs along the Mississippi River from Audubon Park to the intersection of Oak and Gen. Ogden streets, where it meets River Road in Jefferson Parish. It was named in honor of Hunter C. Leake. For more than 50 years, Leake served as Illinois Central Railroad’s general agent in New Orleans, which means he negotiated all major deals for the company. He also served as chief counsel to the railroad. Leake was born in St. Francisville in 1859. He studied law in the office of his father, Judge William Leake, who led a Confederate Calvary Company during the Civil War. Hunter Leake arrived in New Orleans in 1886 and set up a law practice. He married Kate Donelson Ellis in 1893, and they had two children, William and Mary. In 1902, The Times-Picayune reported the minutes of a streets and landing committee meeting in which the residents of that river area presented a petition to name the thoroughfare that the Illinois Railroad had built on the riverfront (between Peniston Street and the Mississippi River levee) Leake Avenue in honor of Leake’s contributions. Leake died in Chicago in 1946, but his funeral services were held in New Orleans; he was interred in Metairie Cemetery.

The building actually is at 709 Jackson Ave. and once was a synagogue named Sha’are Tefilah, which translates to “Gates of Prayer.” The building was completed in 1867, but the congregation later moved. Gregg Morris, a developer, bought the building in 2012 and converted it into apartments, remaining true to the historic building’s original design. In addition to being a synagogue, the building has served as a school and office space. It originally had two stories, but a previous owner added a third floor and installed new glass in all of the windows. To protect the windows from vandals, the owner placed a fiberglass gargoyle on the building. Medieval folklore mentions carved gargoyles as originating from the conquer of a dragon in France, according to archaeologist Gary R. Varner, author of Folklore, History and the Study of Myth, and they were affixed to buildings for centuries. “The word ‘gargoyle’ comes from the Old French gargouille, which is derived from the Late Latin gurgula meaning throat or gullet. The connection is obvious when one considers that most gargoyles ... were intended to be gutter spouts to direct rainwater from the roofs of buildings. Over the years however ... the word has changed and gargoyles have come to symbolize any carving of a grotesque nature regardless if the carving has a functional or purely decorative purpose.” Varner wrote.

A gargoyle was placed on the side of a historic building to keep vandals from breaking the windows.

FRENCHMEN STORY AND PHOTOS BY KE VIN ALLMAN, JEANIE RIES S, MIS SY WILKINSON & ALEX WOODWARD

Frenchmen Street is where the locals go.

Locals never go to Frenchmen any more. It’s the new Bourbon. So say jaded longtime New Orleanians, who remember when the Marigny street was a string of rundown live-music clubs that catered to neighborhood folks.

So:Which is true? Both, it turns out. On July 25 — a Friday night — four Gambit writers spent nine hours on Frenchmen Street to get a feel for what a complete night on Frenchmen is like these days.

6:13 p.m. — “Spare some change for bad habits?” asks one of a group of gutter punks in front of Check Point Charlie. “No? F—k you.” 6:18 p.m. — Outside the firehouse at Decatur Street and Esplanade Avenue, a homeless man waters his dog from an outside spigot while a firefighter watches. 6:21 p.m. — Inside the doorway of the closed Cafe Rose Nicaud, a musician sets up his guitar under the watchful eye of a guy drinking fortified wine.

6:25 p.m. — Aaron Blanks sets up a table in the street near the Praline Connection and sets out his self-designed T-shirts advertising “Historical Treme.”

6:35PM

13 Monaghan is completely empty, probably due to the fact that neither the air conditioning nor the signature frozen Irish coffee machine is working. A couple comes in looking for both and is directed to 13’s sister bar, Molly’s at the Market.

7PM 7:25 p.m. — Adolfo’s, the tiny hidden restaurant above The Apple Barrel, is already slammed with people eating pasta, fish and steaks smothered in creamy “ocean sauce.”

7:37 p.m. — Darmell mans his doorman post outside Miss Jean’s Famous Corner Courtyard. After 11 years working on Bourbon Street in positions ranging from doorman to security, he says he prefers Frenchmen. “You can’t get music like this on Bourbon Street,” he says. “[Frenchmen] is more grown and sexy. What’s not to love about Frenchmen? You can come and just relax. You don’t have to worry about people fighting.” PAGE 16

GAMBIT > BESTOFNEWORLEANS.COM > AUGUST 12 > 2014

So say reviewers on Yelp! and TripAdvisor, where tourists who have never been to town before recommend the street as an authentic New Orleans experience.

6:05 p.m. — Tourists with Big Easy Daiquiri cups round the corner at Decatur Street and stare up at Frenchmen nervously. “Let’s go back to Jackson [Square],” says one of them.

7:45 p.m — Theron Reese, a sometimesbongo player with the New Creation Brass Band, grills oysters in front of Miss Jean’s, $10 for six, $20 for a dozen. “Hell, no,” he says when asked if Frenchmen is the new Bourbon Street. “Frenchmen is nothing like Bourbon,” he says. “We do our own thing. You want music, come to Frenchmen. You want commercial bullshit, go to Bourbon.”

7:55 p.m. — At Downtown Tattoos, a heavily inked woman with glasses and short platinum hair struggles to keep up with the rush. With only two tattoo artists and a queue of six customers, the shop is shortstaffed. “The later it gets, the crazier it’s going to be,” she says. Eve Cammon of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, is waiting to get inked. She’s getting a set of coordinates tattooed on her rib cage, marking the location of the French Quarter. “I was a pedicab driver and a Quarter rat for a year, and I loved every minute of it,” she says.

8PM

8:05 p.m. — Two couples enter Downtown Tattoos sipping daiquiris from Fat Catz. “We all have to get the same tattoos,” says a man with camouflage cargo shorts and a strong Southern accent. “TCB with a lightning bolt.” The woman at the counter quotes a price of $120. “Each?” he asks. “Do you do layaway?” 8:11 p.m. — A street musician named Jack Parsons drinks PBRs with his friend Gwen on the sidewalk outside the Apple Barrel. For a dollar, he performs an original Irish sea shanty.

8:25PM

The Frenchmen Art Market, a twinkly, twee paradise of star-like string lights and art oddities from wooden bowties to jeweled crowns, is drawing browsers. Booths sell items from the tourist-tacky to the sublime: wine-bottle art, incense, paintings and prints. 8:39 p.m. — Washboard Chaz performs on the tiny stage at The Spotted Cat. A group of bros — polo shirts, khaki shorts — comes in, whooping. One throws an empty beer can on the club floor and stomps it flat.

8:45 p.m. — Outside the Spotted Cat, bouncer Anthony Carias gets a kiss on the cheek from pedicabber Brooke Paulus. She explains that he lets her use the bathroom in exchange for kisses. “Summertime is the slow time,” Carias says. “We did start charging a cover last October, but we stop it for the summertime ’cause it’s too slow. It’s mostly tourists. It’s like 70 percent tourists. Not a lot of crazy stuff. It’s pretty chill down here. … The last time I had to kick somebody out was six months ago.” 8:47 p.m. — “I don’t just suggest Frenchmen Street unless they’re people I would want to be there, you know what I mean?” says Paulus, the pedicab driver. “The people that are a little raucous and that want the Bourbon Street scene, I want them to stay there on Bourbon. But the people who are really interesting and you can tell appreciate the music and the art and the culture of the city, I feel like I’m giving them a gift by bringing them [to Frenchmen]. … I can see it shifting, but I think it still maintains its heart and soul. There’s the great music, there’s the faces and the people. Anybody can come here, but it will still be Frenchmen.”

8:40 p.m. — A sign at d.b.a. informs patrons, “We don’t serve Bud, Coors or Miller Light.” A male patron wearing a V-neck shirt and fitted shorts interrogates the bartender about a beer. “It’s a Belgian-style IPA?” he asks skeptically. “Belgians are usually foamier.” A couple performs an elaborate, professional-quality swing dance routine. Nobody else dances.

8:48 p.m. — An 8th District cop cruises down the street slowly, talking on a cellphone. Another cruiser follows two minutes later. 8:50 p.m. — “I’m from Madison,” says a man at the bar of the Spotted Cat, chatting up two women in feather boas. The women are from Boston.

HARRAH’S THEATER

9PM 9 p.m. — The security guard outside the Christopher Inn Apartments argues about directions with a large man in soccer sandals. 9:05 p.m. — A drum kit spills into the doorway of Yuki Izakaya, where The Velvet Underground and Nico’s “Femme Fatale” plays on the stereo. A group of 20-somethings wearing chunky glasses sings the chorus, then repeat the night’s plans: “... then Finn’s, then Kajun’s,” seemingly not realizing they’re much closer to one of those places than the other.

9:05 p.m. — “Frenchmen Street’s not losing its flavor,” says Otis Fennell, the longtime owner of FM Books. “Locals sort of exited [Frenchmen] right before Katrina for a lot of reasons. The way to get the locals back is to develop a daytime market here. Louisiana Music Factory, some of the new galleries, those are helping. But we’re totally dependent on night traffic. I sit here for 12 hours a day, and the best entertainment in town is on my corner, day and night.”

9:23 p.m. — Bamboula’s is the cleanest club on the Frenchmen strip, and the most Disney-fied: bartenders wear matching shirts, the bathrooms aren’t disgusting and the interior has been beautifully restored, from the tin roof to the tile floor. More bros in Mardi Gras beads (including lightup weed-leaf beads) are at the bar. Gypsy Elise and the Royal Blues is getting the crowd to sing along to “Papa Was a Rollin’ Stone.” Everyone seems happy.

GAMBIT > BESTOFNEWORLEANS.COM > AUGUST 12 > 2014

9:22 p.m. — Painter Heather Kenyon is alone at her booth in the Frenchmen Art Market, waiting for customers. “I come here every weekend,” she says. “This is one of my best venues. I’ve been in Baton Rouge banging my head against the wall ’cause it doesn’t have the art scene like there is down here. It’s the only nighttime market in New Orleans. Drinking really doesn’t factor for me. I’d much rather a piece go to someone who’s going to love it and not have buyer’s remorse, especially if they’ve been drinking.”

UNDER THE STREETLAMP Former cast members of JERSEY BOYS

AUGUST 14 – 16 9:37 p.m. — I count seven men wearing plaid shirts styled in varying states of nonchalance (short- and long-sleeved, untucked, half-tucked, rolled to the elbow) among the audience of a hip marching band called Consultation with Tubby at Blue Nile. “We know the spirit of Frenchmen Street because we live the spirit of Frenchmen Street,” says a Blue Nile manager. “Places like us, Snug Harbor and d.b.a., we really built this street up over the last 10 years. The spirit of Frenchmen Street is hard to kill, and as long as the musicians maintain and embody that spirit, the street will live on. The second that stops, it will change to a point of no return, but this is not Bourbon Street. It will never be Bourbon Street. It’s just going through some changes.”

9:55 p.m. — At the art market, Pippin Caldar-Frisbie sits under her tent, surrounded by prints of herons, decaying bayous and potential doom metal album covers that she printed at the New Orleans Community Printshop. She’s wearing a tank top with one of her bird screenings. “I was from here, then I grew up in Maine, now I’m here again,” she says. She has been a printmaker for 10 years.

9:40 p.m. — A drunken bachelor party argues whether one of its number, Jamie, reads. “Jamie doesn’t read!” they chant. “I get all the news parts every day and I don’t even know what to read is,” Jamie slurs in his defense. 9:50 p.m. — A man with thinning gray-streaked hair sits outside Electric Ladyland with crutches, a cigarette and a plastic cup of change. His left leg is tucked by his right leg, which ends midthigh. “Frenchmen Street is the nicest place to come to,” he says. “It’s got more class out here than Bourbon. Trying to get $3, I’m done. Get somewhere to sleep, take a bath. All I need is three.” 9:52 p.m. — Outside Electric Ladyland, a couple from Slidell debates getting tattoos. They say they have no desire to go to Bourbon Street. When I ask to take their picture, the man simulates licking the woman’s nipple, then tells me I look “eccentric.”

9:55 p.m. — Brendan Nash, a glass artist, has set up shop outside FM Books selling pipes, pendants and animal figurines that he makes. “I get asked for drugs anywhere from five to a dozen times a night, and the answer is always no,” he says. “I usually tell them to go to Bourbon Street.”

10:06 p.m. — Carly Turner is standing at the counter at the Electric Ladyland tattoo parlor, waiting for customers. “Weekends are crazy, it’s definitely our busiest time,” she says. “We stay open till midnight. It gets too crazy after then. Anybody out on Frenchmen after midnight probably doesn’t need a tattoo. … With tourists there’s a lot of the fleurs-de-lis, a lot of the Mardi Gras masks. But people, it runs the gamut.” 10:07 p.m. — The Young Fellaz Brass Band plays to a crowd in front of the now-shuttered Cafe Brasil. About 100 people are on the sidewalk or in the intersection at Frenchmen and Chartres. Cars pass slowly, dodging more and more people who are ignoring traffic, drinks in hand.

10:08 p.m. — Young Fellaz sounds great — and loud. Three informal decibel readings of the band (performed with a smartphone app) all read 96 dB — six decibels higher than the 90 dB that the New Orleans’ Musicians’ Clinic says “may cause vibrations intense enough to damage the inner ear.” Current city ordinance caps off at “10 decibels above the ambient level” or 60 decibels (whichever is higher).

BESH BEER DINNER

10:10 p.m. — A group of young people in lightup headdresses and circus-inspired costumes dances in front of the Young Fellaz. 10:15 p.m. — Two party buses (“Club Wiggle Wiggle on Wheels” and “Boom Boom Room”) roll past, playing DJ Snake and Lil Jon’s “Turn Down For What.” 10:15 p.m. — At the art market, several disheveled clowns dance near a portrait of Bill Murray. 10:19 p.m. — A middleaged man wearing loafers offers bikewielding crust punks his leftovers. “Does anyone want a free sandwich?” he asks. “Do you have any free money?” one counters.

10:47PM

Emerging from the darkness between two parked cars outside Washington Park, a man in a black polo shirt tells me, “Bet I can tell you where you got them shoes” and immediately keeps walking, disappearing into the night, the Lestat of street hustlers.

I’m from the Quarter,” he says. “The craziest thing to someone else is normal to me. … It’s becoming more — it’s not as local. It’s becoming touristy. It’s almost Bourbonish. I don’t like it. But we’re still going. I can’t define weird. It’s normal to me.” 11:45 p.m. — A bachelor party is going into d.b.a., which is playing trance music. One of the party’s members says: “The first bar that can hold everybody, we’re going into.”

11:15 p.m. — Aaron Blanks is still selling his Treme shirts. “I’ve been working since I was 6 years old,” he says. “I operate the oldest shoe stand in Louisiana.”

11:35PM

A bachelor party of clean-cut 20-somethings in khaki shorts and deck shoes with button-down shirts (party name: “Jones”) from the Northeast is armed with Abita Ambers at 13 Monaghan. They just ate at Cochon. “The best thing ever,” one says. “We saw Quincy Mumford at the Howlin’ Wolf. Not a Mumford or his son, turns out.” They stumble outside. Literally. One has crutches.

11:34 p.m. — Andre Ned is Ukrainian and it’s his second day in New Orleans. He’s at Yuki. “Someone told me about Yuki,” he says. “They also told me to take a cemetery tour. But seriously, if I tell people I am in a jazz sushi bar, what will people think about me?”

MIDNIGHT Midnight — A woman in a blue tube top asks the bartender at 13 for a frozen Irish coffee. The machine still isn’t working. The would-be patron places her empty Fat Tuesday daiquiri cup and a pile of purse debris on the bar and leaves. The bartenders glare, then politely and swiftly collect her garbage and take turns free-throw shooting it into a trash can. 12:17 a.m. — A couple smokes weed inside a Toyota Camry on the corner of Esplanade Avenue and Frenchmen. 12:20 a.m. — Mike, wearing a visor and apron, stands outside Johnny’s Jamaican Grill food truck parked on the neutral ground outside Dragon’s Den. He’s looking for work, he says, grinning with a big toothless smile. “They say ‘Just stay still,’ you know?” 12:27 a.m. — Two women begin to back out their car, which is parked on Frenchmen outside VASO, a huge, purplelit “superlounge.” The driver bumps into a black Mustang parked behind her. Two men drinking Red Stripe toss their bottles to the street and knock on the women’s

window. “Roll down your window,” one man says. “You just hit my car.” The woman drives off. The men follow in their car, speeding off down Frenchmen.

12:30AM

A woman leans against her friend as they teeter out of Snug Harbor on high heels. She immediately faceplants and spills her foam cup on the sidewalk. “We’re OK,” her friend announces. 12:37 a.m. — VASO is blowing up with constant foot traffic.

1:40 a.m. — A few staff linger near Bamboula’s kitchen window. Behind it is an empty ballroom, with “NOLA” spelled in horns on its stage, one of the largest on the street. It’s opening soon, one staff member tells me, as soon as it gets a liquor license. 1:45 a.m. — A couple — one in a Dr. Seuss hat and headto-toe S&M gear, the other in a curly wig, corset and striped stockings — roam both sides of Frenchmen requesting spankings from strangers. They spank me without asking permission. 1:45 a.m. — VASO is in full nightclub mode, with strobe lights and hip-hop. A woman in an ill-fitting crop top dances by herself in the street outside.

1:20 a.m. — Tanisha works the door at Maison. She dances in the doorway as crowds pass by. She has worked there for a year. “This is not a normal Friday,” she says. “It’s kind of slow.”

1:50 a.m. — Rubens, a tall man wearing glasses and a striped polo, looks tired and frustrated as he stands outside Cafe Brazil Truck and watches crowds leave the street. “Thirty-five to 40 percent of business between June and August is dead,” he says. “September to May is good. Now it’s just the locals, and the locals don’t have any money.”

2 a.m. — New Creation Brass Band members outnumber the crowd at VASO. The dozen members onstage perform a lively mashup of “Just My Imagination” and “Isn’t She Lovely” followed by Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky.” “Someone’s gonna get lucky tonight,” the band says, curiously followed by a brief chant of “pizza party!”

1:25 a.m. — Smoky Greenwell blows harmonica as the frontman for his band at Bamboula’s. A table of barely legal college boys in polo shirts and khaki shorts stare blankly at the band, or have their heads on the table, sharing space with half a dozen Pabst Blue Ribbons.

2:25 a.m. — Steve, wearing a black “Don’t F—k With The Cook” apron, sets up tinfoil chafing dishes, tubs of plastic knives and forks and paper plates and napkins outside the Praline Connection. There’s a chalkboard of the chicken plates available. “We’re out here periodically,” he says as he collects a few dozen plastic forks he accidentally spilled onto the sidewalk. He points to Stoker Homeboy, a slide guitarist leaning against a motorcycle with tips filling his guitar case. “Just like he is, but with food.”

Aunt Sally’s Pralines opened in 1935 and offers pralines in a range of flavors.

French Quarter,” Fowler says. The Bagurs’ four children, Pierre Jr., Jacques, Diane and Yvette, also worked in the business. “They helped develop the original Creole praline recipe and boxed the pralines in a way that visitors could carry the delicate pecan candies back home in one piece and ship pralines anywhere in the world,” Fowler says. Originally, street vendors made pralines popular locally. In the mid-1800s, entrepreneurial black women sold the treat on the streets of New Orleans and found considerable success, making the praline synonymous with the city. “Aunt Sally is a fictional character created to honor the mostly AfricanAmerican praline vendors, who were often called pralinieres,” Fowler says. Today, Aunt Sally’s Pralines has two locations: its French Market location, which opened in 1940, and a second retail store and production facility, which opened in 2013 on St. Charles Avenue. At both locations, customers can taste samples and watch pralines being cooked in copper pots and then hand-poured onto pans. Aunt Sally’s also sells spices, condiments and jellies, including a muffuletta mix, praline topping, pecan pepper jelly, hot sauces and savory glazes, All are available online. Next year, Aunt Sally’s Pralines celebrates its 80th anniversary.

or locals and visitors alike, the praline is as New Orleans as the streetcar. The Creole treat originated in 18thcentury France. French diplomat Cesar du Plessis-Praslin (pronounced “prah-lin”) had a sweet tooth. His chef, Clement Lassagne, invented a recipe for sugarcoated almonds to be consumed as a digestive aid. “When the French colonized Louisiana, they brought their food traditions, including sugared almonds generally called pralins, or pralines,” says Pat McDonald Fowler, granddaughter of Pierre E. Bagur and Diane Jacques Bagur, the creators of Aunt Sally’s Pralines (750 St. Charles Ave.; 810 Decatur St., 800-6427257; www.auntsallys.com). “The early French settlers taught their AfricanAmerican cooks, most likely slaves, how to make those confections using locally available ingredients: pecans and cane sugar to replace almonds and beet sugar. Pralines became a delicious part of every Creole table, most often made for celebrations and holidays.” Fowler is also the company’s merchandising and marketing consultant and former CEO. As a third-generation member of the Bagur family, she takes her role seriously. In 1935, Pierre and Diane — both sixthgeneration New Orleanians of FrenchCreole descent — opened their first shop on Exchange Alley in the French Quarter. “They opened their store at a time when New Orleans was becoming a destination for visitors who were intrigued by the romantic and mysterious

f you’re hunting for the next area transforming from having a dearth of dining options to becoming a culinary hotspot, look no further than Tulane Avenue, where Treo — the cocktail and small plates restaurant from the owners of Finn McCool’s — is blazing trails. The Treo space is grayscale and streamlined, and mauve accents help it seem effortlessly cool when temperatures outside are blistering. At first glance, Treo may appear cramped, but new areas of exploration pop up around every corner. The second floor serves as an art gallery and additional space for meetings or dining, with a lovely wraparound balcony that provides a bird’s-eye view of the Tulane Avenue corridor. A courtyard seems to be still in development, but it should attract cocktail enthusiasts when temperatures begin to dip. An eclectic collection of art lines the walls, which can jump-start dinner chatter if conversation begins to lull. Treo is not a spot to expect a three-course meal or a range of entree options to accommodate a sit-down dinner. It is first and foremost a cocktail bar where chef James Cullen takes the small plate concept employed at places like Mimi’s in the Marigny and Bacchanal to a new level of intricacy. It’s an ideal place for a gaggle of girlfriends to meet for snacks or a somewhat-professional meeting of the minds during happy hour. The printed menu is limited to dishes meant for sharing, and daily specials grace a chalkboard and add a level of substance for diners seeking a heartier bite. The special salad and entree portions are generous, and a pork loin entree — served with broccoli rabe and creamy mashed potatoes — proves so succulent one might be inclined to pick up and gnaw remaining meat off of the bone. A large arugula salad is topped with croquettes of gooey, tangy fried goat cheese and charred endive and is a refreshing, layered dish thoroughly appropriate for combatting the dog days of summer. Spanish and Irish influences, both with Louisiana twists, play heavily into the small plates menu. Crawfish empanadas are large and flaky, with tender bites of well-seasoned crawfish.

Rafting south Louisiana

Shreveport brewery Great Raft Brewing announced a two-step plan for expansion, which will lead to distribution in south Louisiana. Currently Great Raft is only available in Shreveport/Bossier, Monroe and Ruston, but co-founder Lindsay Nations says the first phase of the expansion should provide “more breathing room” to keep up with current demand in northern Louisiana. The second stage will pave the way for an expansion into New Orleans, the Northshore and Baton Rouge markets. “We never anticipated that the demand in northern Louisiana would be as high as it is,” Nations says. The popularity of Great Raft’s Southern Drawl lager and Commotion pale ale prompted the brewery to add two 60-barrel (bbl) fermenters, which have been installed, leveled and are ready to undergo “seasoning,” a technique for getting the “new fermenter” smell and taste out of the equipment by running a beer with a high alcohol volume through the system, then dumping the beer down the drain. The second phase of expansion will bring four more 60-bbl fermenters and a 60-bbl bright tank into the brewery. That will give Great Raft the production capacity to expand into new areas. While no distributors or specific timelines have been announced, Nations says distribution likely will begin in the New Orleans market and grow from there. Nations says it’s difficult to set a schedule before the equipment even arrives, but she hopes to have Great Raft beers available in cans for the 2015 Carnival season. “It’ll hopefully be either right before or right after Mardi Gras,” she says. Great Raft’s expansion also necessitates hiring another brewer, which Nations plans to have in place by the start of 2015. Once Great Raft beers are in the New Orleans market, Nations says the company may hire a local marketing and promotions representative to cover south Louisiana. Both phases of the expansion should increase the brewery’s capacity by 160 percent — from 2,500 bbls a year to 7,000 bbls annually. 2014 has been a good year for Nations and her husband and brewery co-founder Andrew. They were selected to represent Louisiana, along with NOLA Brewing, in the prestigious Savor craft beer event in May. This summer, they participated in Sierra Nevada’s Beer Camp Across America program, where they collaborated with Asheville, North Carolina’s Burial Beer Co. on a rye helles lager, which was served at the Beer Camp celebration at Sierra Nevada’s Mills River, North Carolina brewery. “We were the only Louisiana brewery there,” Nations says. — NORA MCGUNNIGLE

3-COURSE interview

Leah Sarris Chef/educator

Chef Leah Sarris is the program director of The Goldring Center for Culinary Medicine (www.tmedweb. tulane.edu/mu/teachingkitchen) at Tulane University, where she runs a teaching kitchen that instructs medical students and community members how to create healthy meals on a budget. Sarris spoke with Gambit about the culinary medicine program.

What does the Goldring Center do?

What are some success stories from working with the community?

S: During some of our first classes, we operated out of the Ruth Fertel Clinic at Tulane as a kind of high-functioning pop-up. We were teaching a lot about cooking with fresh vegetables over the course of the series, and at the end, one of the women who had been to all the classes came up to me. She said, “You know, I never used to cook with fruits and vegetables, but now my whole family is laughing because I have a giant bowl of them in my house and I throw them into everything.” There have been so many great stories of women and men who have diabetes or are on dialysis and have seen their numbers improve significantly by taking the classes and learning how to make changes in their diets.

What’s next for the center?

S: We’re moving into a new space that’s part of the ReFresh Project on North Broad (Street), and it’s scheduled for a grand opening Sept. 11. It will be exciting to be more visible, and people are already popping their heads into the space to see what’s going on. We also are having a four-part celebrity chef dinner series as a fundraiser, featuring New Orleans chefs from John Besh to Adam Biderman of Company Burger, in order to keep classes free. It’s a way for folks to see that the Mediterranean diet we promote can be incorporated into a lot of different menus and doesn’t having to be boring. We’re also starting to spread our programming to other cities; five universities are currently using the curriculum we’ve created. It’s definitely exciting. — SARAH BAIRD

GAMBIT > BESTOFNEWORLEANS.COM > AUGUST 12 > 2014

Sarris: Our center started two and a half years ago as a first-of-itskind program to teach doctors about nutrition so that they can more effectively have lifestyle interventions with their patients. Doctors typically don’t get a lot of nutrition training in their curriculum. We teach the doctors — and now community members — everything from caloric density and portion size to reading labels and how to meet the needs of vegetarian deficiencies. We also teach doctors and community members more general skills, like budgeting for meals and what to look for when you’re seeking healthy food at the grocery store. In our cooking classes, we cook together, then eat the food we’ve made together and talk about it. One of the meals we start out with is spaghetti, because it’s so familiar and accessible for people. We make it four different ways: “lunch lady” style with tons of beef and white noodles; a second version with half the beef, which can be saved for another meal; a third version incorporating vegetables and whole wheat noodles; and a fourth version that’s completely vegetarian and features lentils. People end up really loving the lentils, and no one likes the all-beef, traditional version more than healthier versions we create.

On Saturday, Aug. 23, the House of Blues (225 Decatur St., 504-310-4999; www.hob.com/ neworleans) hosts a new beer and music event called Brewsiana, featuring beer from local breweries NOLA Brewing, Parish Brewing Co., Gnarly Barley Brewing Co., Bayou Teche Biere, Tin Roof Brewing Co., Chafunkta Brewing Co. and Covington Brewhouse. Each brewer will offer three beers at the event. New Orleans House of Blues general manager Robert Rizzuto says Brewsiana will be an annual event and stems from a national House of Blues initiative to feature craft beer. “The consumer is changing with the times and is actively seeking out craft beer now,” Rizzuto says. Rizzuto worked with Donn Lacoste of LA Craft Beer (www.lacraftbeer.com), the craft beer arm of Southern Eagle distributors, to organize the event and reach out to breweries. Then then selected beers from each brewery to serve at the event. Patrons pay $12 for the concert featuring Colin Lake, Brass Bed, Hazy Ray, The Scorseses, The Wooden Wings and Kelly Love Jones. To sample beers, guests must buy a wristband good for a set number of three-ounce samples: $15 for seven samples or $35 for 21 samples. Food pairings also are available with some beers; food tickets are $3 each and items cost one to three tickets. Attendees must be at least 21 years old to enter. The event begins at 7 p.m. and occupies the main stage, the restaurant and Voodoo Garden.

WINE of the week

2012 J. Bouchon Canto Sur Red Blend M AUL E VA L L E Y, CHIL E

Retail $13

In 1892, Emile Bouchon took his love for winemaking from Bordeaux, France, to Chile’s Maule Valley. Today his great-grandson Julio Bouchon, who trained in Bordeaux, makes wine in the Bordeaux tradition at the family estate. At 650 feet above sea level, the area’s granite-topped clay soils allow deep root structures, a prime requirement for Bordeaux grapes. Vineyards are farmed without irrigation, relying on natural rainfall. Grapes are sourced equally from the winery’s Santa Rosa vineyard, which stretches along the sandy southern banks of the Maule River, and the clay-based Mingre vineyard. Fashioned after the wines of Bordeaux’s Medoc region, this bottling is a blend of 50 percent cabernet sauvignon, 30 percent carmenere and 20 percent merlot. After hand harvesting, the fruit is destemmed and undergoes full malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks. The grapes from each vineyard are vinified separately, blended, filtered and aged 58 days in individual tanks with minimal neutral oak contact. In the glass, it exudes aromas of ripened fruit, espresso, spice notes and a hint of pepper. On the palate, taste cherry, blackberry, cassis, good acidity and smooth tannins. Decant 30 minutes before serving. Drink it with grilled steaks, roasted meats, braised short ribs, barbecue and aged cheeses.

GAMBIT > BESTOFNEWORLEANS.COM > AUGUST 12 > 2014

Lemon Wheat (May-September) is a crisp, refreshing beer made with lemon peel for a fresh citrus taste and aroma. This unfiltered brew has a hazy, golden color and is made with lager and wheat malts, Centennial hops and Biere de Garde yeast. This brew is an excellent choice with many dishes. It pairs wonderfully with salads if the dressing is not too sweet. Great with shrimp, lobster or any fish, even the most delicate.

SAM ADAMS OKTOBERFEST In 1810, the Octoberfest tradition was born when Munich celebrated the Crown Prince’s wedding with a special beer and 16 day party. Our version of this classic style blends hearty malts for a deep, smooth flavor with notes of caramel creating a brew that’s perfect for the season, or whatever you’re celebrating.

judges, and L’amour did a routine involving a car resembling KITT, the artificially intelligent, talking vehicle from Hasselhoff’s 1980s crime-fighting action series Knight Rider. L’Amour came onstage in mechanics’ coveralls and stripped to the show’s theme song. Hasselhoff and the audience liked the act, but the other two celebrity judges didn’t. In Chicago, L’amour turned burlesque into the foundation of a full-time career. She won the Miss Exotic World title in 2005 and tours regularly, performing in Dita Von Teese’s Strip, Strip, Hooray!. She directs a burlesque troupe called The Chicago Starlets, and her Chicago business, Studio L’amour, offers classes Monday through Thursday (taught by several burlesque stars) and sponsors shows and events, including the literary salon Naked Girls Reading. There have been several New Orleans installments of Naked Girls Reading — including a holiday edition featuring carols — at Tiki Tolteca, the Paris Room (above Cafe Soule) and Scott Edwards Gallery. “This last one we did was super-fun,” L’amour says. “It was around Tales of the Cocktail. We read a bunch of cocktail literature involving different types of drinks. We may do another in September with a pirate theme.”

L’amour has gravitated Michelle L’amour performs at the House toward New Orleans since she and her of Blues in Chicago. husband started visiting P H OTO BY S C O T T H A RRI S O N regularly in 2008. “Me and Franky were Pretty Funny, 9 p.m. Friday AUG working really hard,” One Eyed Jacks, she says. “We needed 615 Toulouse St. a vacation and New Orleans popped into our (504) 569-8361 heads. We came down www.oneeyedjacks.com or in December. It took us a couple days in New www.prettyfunnyshow.com Orleans to breathe. And Tickets $10 in advance, then we completely fell $15 at the door in love with the city and starting making yearly trips — every December we spent two weeks there. ... “Every time we would leave we would cry. We would pine for New Orleans when we were in Chicago, not to mention Chicago winter is awful. … We decided to push more for New Orleans and started planting our roots there.” Pretty Funny returns to Chicago for a September show, and L’amour comes home for the New Orleans Burlesque Festival (Sept. 18-21).

GAMBIT > BESTOFNEWORLEANS.COM > AUGUST 12 > 2014

ocal burlesque fans may recognize Michelle L’amour from her 2010 New Orleans Burlesque Festival performance or recent appearances in Bella Blue’s Dirty Dime Peepshow. But she’s also become a familiar face in the French Quarter. She and husband Franky Vivid split time between Chicago and New Orleans but are spending more time here. “We started planting our roots here and we are a lot happier,” L’amour says. “The place we’re living in used to be a brothel, which appealed to us. It was the Norma Wallace place on Conti (Street). It was featured a lot in [the book] The Last Madam.” L’amour is in New Orleans this week for a show in her Pretty Funny tour, which features strippers and standup comics. The tour recently stopped in New York, where L’amour performed with fellow new burlesque stars Dirty Martini and Atlas Julie Muz. The New Orleans show includes local performers Bella Blue and Charlotte Treuse. “Bella and I are going to do a fun, dirty showgirl number that uses more hard-edged rock,” L’amour says. “It’s pretty. We’ll have feathered headdresses and beaded bras. And Charlotte will do her carousel horse act.” The Pretty Funny tour built on talents available in Chicago, where it was easy to find comics for shows. “It started in Chicago under the name Wiggle Room as a weekly show,” L’amour says. “The idea to expand it came from the comics, because they move all the time — to New York or Los Angeles. Chicago loses comics all the time, and they should go to New York or L.A. But we thought, ‘Maybe we should try meeting up with them there.’” In New York in July, she was joined by Kenny DeForest, Matteo Lane and Janelle James. DeForest and James are transplants from Chicago, where they were regulars at clubs including the Laugh Factory. Between them, their New York credits include appearances at the Knitting Factory with Hannibal Buress, Caroline’s and Gotham Comedy Club. “This idea was to modernize the comedy in burlesque,” L’amour says. “It has always had a strong connection — Lenny Bruce used to perform at burlesque theaters.” This Friday, Pretty Funny features Chicagoan Adam Burke, DeForest and local comic Andrew Polk. Immediately following the show, there’s a party with DJ AJent O from Los Angeles. L’amour hopes to take Pretty Funny to Los Angeles next. She’s performed in Los Angeles before — in a 2006 appearance on the first season of America’s Got Talent. Actor David Hasselhoff was one of the

Sylvan Esso

Sylvan Esso’s self-titled debut (Partisan) starts with 10 p.m. Saturday one of the most paralyzing album openers of the Gasa Gasa, year. As introductions go, “Hey Mami” is a stunner: 4920 Freret St. A soft wash of cars pan the channels, a cascading female chirp-chant slots in the middle — and then (504) 304-7110 there’s another, laid on top in wind chime harmony, www.gasagasa.com and another, coming in for support underneath. It sounds like birds parroting a catcall, and it’s pinned now by a slow clap that happens exactly once per measure, on the third count; by the third measure, you can sense the arms gearing up in motion, feel the hands about to hit. The voices all belong to Amelia Meath, who, with her throwback folk band Mountain Man, made chillingly accurate female harmonizing a specific forte. Her self-created rhythm on “Hey Mami” is not unlike those built by Tune-Yards, with whom she visited Republic in May. But whereas Merrill Garbus has ethnomusicological impulses woven into her DNA, Meath is a tourist, albeit a talented one. From the vocal tangle emerges a kittenish R&B lead, yet it’s another minute before Sylvan Esso’s trick is revealed — the second verse drops a deep dubstep woof, and with it the realization that this is a dance record. Producer Nick Sanborn (Megafaun) does some nifty things with Meath’s impeccable voice, arming it with rubber-tipped Gatling-gun synth bullets on “Dreamy Bruises” and cutting it into sonar pings on the fetching “Could I Be.” The pair’s first (and second-best) collaboration, the penultimate, pulse-quickening “Play It Right,” started life as a Mountain Man song that Sanborn retooled. It’s the rare remix that can also be considered a premix. Akron/Family’s Dana Buoy opens. Tickets $10. — NOAH BONAPARTE PAIS

Mood Indigo

THRU

Mood Indigo

American-made films with an unmistakably 7 p.m. daily AUG French sensibility have been the hallmark of Zeitgeist MultiFrench director Michel Gondry’s unusual caDisciplinary Arts reer. Movies like Gondry’s early masterwork Center, 1618 Oretha Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (for which Castle Haley Blvd. he won an Oscar as co-screenwriter) and Be Kind Rewind (in which video clerks remake movies like (504) 352-1150 Ghostbusters after accidentally erasing a store full www.zeitgeistinc.net of tapes) use wildly imaginative visuals to support surreal visions of American culture. Gondry returned to France to make Mood Indigo, an adaptation of Boris Vian’s L’Ecume des Jours, a novel so beloved in that country that reading it has become a rite of passage for French teenagers. It’s hard to imagine material better suited to Gondry’s particular gifts than Vian’s dreamlike tale of love. The film succeeds at creating a fantastic world in which everyday objects spring to life and a piece of music can change a square room into a circular one, and where vivid colors fade to gray as the story goes from lighthearted to somber. Included are some wonderfully satirical assaults on worthy targets like the working world and highbrow French culture, and Audrey Tautou (Amelie) is a characteristically effervescent leading lady. But for all its visual wizardry, Mood Indigo doesn’t add up to what it should — at least in the version created for markets outside of France, which miss 30 minutes cut from the original French film. Cleverness can only take you so far. — KEN KORMAN

Life Itself (R) — The film explores the life of film critic and commentator Roger Ebert. Indywood Movie Theater

The term “Calvary” refers not only to the site of Christ’s crucifixion as described in the Bible but also more generally to an experience of extreme mental suffering. Both meanings resonate deeply in Irish writer/director John Michael McDonagh’s harrowing film. Calvary’s opening scene sets the story in motion: A good priest, Father James (Brendan Gleeson), hears an anonymous confession that rapidly transforms into a threat on his life. The penitent says he will murder James on OPENS Calvary the following Sunday, not for anything the priest has done but as a AUG Directed by John symbolic response to past sins inflicted by the Catholic church. The Michael McDonagh result is a fresh take on a familiar form — a murder mystery about a Starring Brendan murder that hasn’t happened yet. Gleeson Calvary counts down the days as James makes the rounds in his small village on the western coast of Ireland. Trying to identify the murderer Limited release -in-waiting is an engaging task, and it’s a device to introduce the cornucopia of confrontational cynics, misfits and miscreants that populate the town. It seems that everyone has a bone to pick with the priest or the church, which leads to all manner of philosophical discussion. It’s a bleak vision of humanity relieved only occasionally by black comedy. Though a bit overwritten — it’s hard to buy working-class people using words like “supercilious” in casual conversation, no matter how high-minded the exchange — the film is full of insight and never stops giving us much to think about. It’s rich material for the film’s powerhouse ensemble cast. Calvary is the anti-blockbuster — a harsh film that benefits by contrast with more conventional summer fare. — KEN KORMAN

Mark of the Feminine

THRU OCT

Mark of the Feminine: Mixed media group exhibition by New Orleans artists Contemporary Arts Center, 900 Camp St. (504) 528-3805 www.cacno.org

Even by the standards of large institutional survey exhibitions, the Contemporary Arts Center’s Mark of the Feminine expo of works by local women artists covers a wide range of styles and visions. The sheer diversity is daunting at first as we are confronted with artworks ranging from meticulously linear concoctions such as Monica Zeringue’s large, graphite She Wolf self-portrait (pictured) and Gabrielle Gaspard’s intimate intaglio print of female hands impossibly bound with delicately thin thread to raucously outrageous works like Sarah Sole’s satiric paintings of Hillary Clinton acting out in unlikely situations and Vanessa Centeno’s large, surreal soft-sculpture Get It Up, which suggests a lurid sea anemone from outer space. Curated by Regine Basha, the works in this show are united by their psychological vibe and suggestive ambiguity, though exactly what they suggest depends on the viewer. More broadly, it’s like a travelogue exploration of the far corners of the female psyche as interpreted by female artists in this complicated city. While artists like Zeringue are well-known, the show features a rich assortment by less familiar and emerging artists. Emblematic works include Kristin Meyers’ spookily spectacular Anoint sculpture, which suggests a synthesis of an African spirit fetish and hoodoo bottle tree and resonates a feral tribal vitality. A related if more modern sensibility appears in Armina Mussa’s Ana-Beaucoup mixed-media photo collage of a Creole woman shrouded in a crown of flowers, mounted in a sackcloth frame. Similarly vibrant, if more familiar, textures appear in Cherice Harrison-Nelson’s Rise Up! Queen Suit, her shamanistic Mardi Gras Indian suit rumination on impermanence, continuity and traditions that transcend time. Wry commentaries on modern lifestyles appear in Susan Ireland’s vivid canvases of offbeat social encounters in colorfully painted barrooms and in Ronna Harris’ realistic Marital Bliss painting of elegant bedroom ennui. Here Basha’s fecund mashup — her meandering psychic estuary of a show — proves that, around here at least, more is sometimes actually more. — D. ERIC BOOKHARDT

Bug 8 p.m. Thu.-Sat. Allways Lounge & Theatre, 2240 St. Claude Ave. (504) 218-5778; (504) 758-5590 for reservations www.theallwayslounge.net

In Bug, Agnes is a waitress who lives in a motel room, where she anesthetizes herself with booze, THRU marijuana and cocaine. Her ex-husband has just been released from jail and he may or may not be the person who constantly calls her on the phone but never talks. The last thing she needs is another complication, and then Peter arrives. He’s paranoid about chemicals in household products, foods and everywhere else, and it would seem that his broadly applied caution would offer her welcome peace or stability. Peter (Ian Hoch) is introverted but observant. He’s concerned about the chemicals in the room’s smoke detector, those used in producing her cocaine and whatever he was exposed to while fighting in the Gulf War. Especially when compared with her crass and menacing ex, Goss (Casey Groves), Peter is very appealing to Agnes (Jennifer Pagan). Bug is by Tracy Letts (August: Osage County), and Jonathan Mares produced an impressive version of Letts’ violent thriller Killer Joe at Allways Lounge & Theatre in July 2013. Some of the same actors return in this production, and as in Killer Joe, financially strapped members of a broken family struggle to survive, but it’s a very different story and type of drama. Bug is about emotional desperation and the otherwise unworthy things that can fill the voids in people’s lives. It takes surprisingly little for Agnes to fall for Peter, and some of his obsessions, particularly over a motel infestation of tiny biting insects, draw them together. Pagan is excellent and she grounds the work, particularly in the slow-building first act, as everyone tries to impose their needs on her. She’s wonderfully calm and steady in the face of loneliness and Goss’ physical intimidation. Hoch is good as Peter, though at first he seems to underplay the troubled man’s agitation. Andrea Watson has some of the work’s few funny moments as the brassy lesbian R.C. Director Kris Shaw keeps the drama tense, jolting the story from its emotional morass with shocking outbursts, but it’s a hard story to watch as Peter opens up about his fears and beliefs. The stage becomes jumbled with bug-fighting paraphernalia and the two indulge ever-more convoluted explanations of the hardships that have befallen them. They struggle to distinguish fact from fiction and the situation becomes increasingly volatile. — WILL COVIELLO

CLASSIFIEDS EMPLOYMENT NEW ORLEANS

JOB GURU

Dear New Orleans Job Guru, “I will be honorably discharged from the military later this year, and my goal is to find a job related to my military service in the area of electronics repair. I have a résumé showing all my military jobs and commendations, including my time in Afghanistan, but according to what I’m hearing, I should change it to more of a civilian style. I am attaching my current résumé. Thank you in advance for all your help.” — Richard P., Belle Chasse, LA Dear Richard, First, Richard, I would like to thank you for your service to our country. In order to land a good job when you are discharged, the very first step you should take is to create what is called a “military-to-civilian” or military conversion résumé. Grant Cooper The fact is that many hiring decision-makers will not be familiar with military jargon, acronyms, or designations, and you will want to make it easier for them to understand your skills, experience, and accomplishments. After reviewing the résumé you attached, I can see that in order to appeal to civilian hiring officials, you will need to emphasize “technical equipment” instead of “weapons systems,” and you can say you “supervised, trained, and evaluated a staff of 35 employees supporting operations in four countries,” as opposed to “commanded and indoctrinated 35 personnel in supporting overseas deployment activities.” Several years ago I prepared a military conversion résumé for a U.S. Coast Guard Executive Officer / OIC who was in the process of retiring. By rewriting his résumé in a civilian style and emphasizing his leadership skills, group training capabilities, and accomplishments in the Coast Guard, he landed a 6-figure position for the Safety Training division of a large oil company, offering a 6-figure salary and great benefits. Upon your discharge, you should be provided with a copy of most of the documents in your personnel folder. Included in these will be copies of your annual performance evaluations or fitness reports. Be sure to review your more recent annual evaluations to find documentation of your accomplishments. Some of the best information you could possibly include in your résumé will be found here. For example, you may find mentions of specific projects and challenges you were involved in, along with descriptions of the dollar value of equipment or other numerical data. Awards, medals, ribbons, letters of appreciation, commendations, and other accolades can also be included in a bulleted format on your résumé. Be sure to highlight your promotions, training courses, technical tools, software skills, and equipment used, as well as the travel and assignments you have completed. Many large companies involved in defense contracting would like to know if you possess a valid security clearance, so be sure to show that on your résumé as well.

New Orleans Job Guru is New Orleans native Grant Cooper. President of Strategic Résumés®, Grant has ranked in the Top 2% of 340 LinkedIn National Résumé Writing Experts worldwide, and has assisted the U.S. Air Force, Kinko’s, the Louisiana Dept. of Labor, the City of New Orleans, NFL/NBA players & coaches, as well as universities, regional banks, celebrities, and corporations.

They are brother and sister, super affectionate towards people, and even love tummy rubs. Marriage brought a dog and now a baby, and we don’t spend enough time with these guys as a result. I know they could be a lot happier in a household with no other pets. I hope someone out there who is looking for a couple of companions sees this ad and they find a home with more time to spend than we have. (225) 803-9066.
