SEVEN THINGS TO DO IN SEVEN DAYS

EspaNOLA New Orleans native Nairoby Otero brings her solo show to Southern Rep

Creepy Fest WED.-SUN. JULY 17-21 | Sheer Terror Records presents the annual mashup of punk, thrash and surf rock bands, skateboarding, horror films and multiband showcases every night at local venues including Circle Bar, Poor Boys Bar, Santos Bar, Portside Lounge and more.

BY WILL COVIELLO NAIROBY OTERO GREW UP IN NEW ORLEANS and attended Cabrini

High School. Her parents met in New Orleans, but both had emigrated from Cuba and her family still speaks Spanish at home. When it came time for her quinceanera, the celebration of a girl’s 15th birthday common in many Spanish-speaking countries, the family was divided.

“I didn’t want a big quinceanera, but I was the first grandchild,” Otero says. “I knew I had to have one. I didn’t have the courage to say to my mom that I didn’t want one, because it was a big thing for my family, so the compromise was that we would have a huge party. I would wear the dress, and I would have a dance with my godfather and my stepdad.”

It took place at the Elks Lodge in Metairie, and far more people attended than were invited, and they ran out of alcohol and ice, Otero says.

Otero’s “’Til Sunday” opens with its main character, Claridad, preparing for her quinceanera. For Claridad’s very traditional Cuban family, it’s a big deal, especially because they have struggled to make it financially. Claridad and her mother came to the U.S. in 1971 in what were known as the Freedom Flights, which transported Cuban refugees to Miami. They moved to New Orleans, where they connected with the local Cuban community and found comfort in Cuban and Latin music, which fills the show. Her father, Jesus, stayed behind. During her childhood, Claridad’s mother talked to him by phone every Sunday and sent money to support their extended family, while they waited to be reunited.

The story is not autobiographical but is based on various experiences of Cuban Americans, Otero says. In the play, Pepe, an older Cuban man, is a friend of the family. He smokes cigars, teaches Claridad to play dominoes and rants about Fidel

WED. JULY 17 | In its annual theatrical and inevitably comic improvisation show at the New Orleans Shakespeare Festival at Tulane, the NOLA Project mounts “King Lear” without a script — more or less rendering the tragedy of an aging king trying to divide his kingdom among his three daughters.

At 7:30 p.m. at Tulane University’s Lupin Theater.

Black Joe Lewis WED. JULY 17 | Austin guitarist Black Joe Lewis puts his spin on the classic mix of blues, funk, soul and rock. Walker Lukens opens at 9 p.m. at Tipitina’s.

Built to Spill

Castro and Communist Cuba. He also represents some of the enduring uncertainty for a generation of Cubans living in America.

“For Cubans in their seventies, coming to this country was supposed to be a temporary move,” Otero says. “They thought eventually Castro would be gone and they’d go back.” “’Til Sunday” is Otero’s first solo show. She developed it in her home in New York, where she acts onstage and in film and writes. She debuted the show in 2016 at the Hollywood Fringe festival, and it was nominated for best solo show.

She wasn’t surprised that audience members who came to the U.S. from Cuba and Latin American countries approached her after performances to share their stories. But the show had broad appeal and ran for one month, she says.

“L.A. proved the show had legs,” she says.

Then she was asked to bring it to Miami’s GableStage, where it sold out.

Its local premiere at Southern Rep will be Otero’s first professional performance in New Orleans. The Cuban community is smaller than

WED. JULY 17 | The lineup of indie rockers Built to Spill has changed, but guitarist Doug Martsch’s group is celebrating the 20th anniversary of its well-received 1999 release, “Keep it Like a Secret.” Orua and Wetface open at 8:30 p.m. at Joy Theater.

when her parents and grandparents arrived, Otero says. Some of the immigrants found New Orleans’ winters too harsh and moved to Florida, Otero says. But she says the third phase of the production and the local test is one of heart.

“My family will get to see it and I’ll know somebody in every audience,” she says.

After the run, she will start working on making the show’s debut in New York.

THU.-SAT. JULY 18-20 | Danielle Small’s take on Kevin Kostner’s flop of a futuristic action adventure, “Waterworld,” takes place in a pool, and attendees can take a dip during the show, which features synchronized swimming, video projections and music

Hogs for the Cause, the

barbecue competition and food festival that raises funds to help families dealing with pediatric cancer, announced that it had distributed $933,155 to various charities during fiscal year 2019 (which ended June 30). Its 11th annual competition, which was held on the grounds of UNO Lakefront Arena in March, drew 30,000 people to sample smoked meats and listen to music.

The number of July hurricanes to make landfall in Louisiana since 1851.

A screenshot from a Facebook video by brass band musician Christopher Henry shows police activity at the corner of Frenchmen and Chartres streets.

NOPD, BRASS BAND MEMBERS CLASH ON FRENCHMEN STREET Royale Lassai and Brandon Livas pleaded guilty to one count each of bank larceny for using stolen credit card numbers from a Metairie medical office to rack up more than $200,000 in spending. The two were arrested by the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office in 2015, but federal prosecutors took over the case. The two face up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. They are set to be sentenced in October.

Louisiana scored 46th on a

CNBC ranking of “Top States for Business,” receiving Ds and Fs for every category in the survey except cost of living (for which it received a B) and cost of doing business (A-). It received Fs in the categories of workforce, economy, quality of life and technology and innovation. “The good times are not rolling in a state with one of the nation’s weakest economies,” CNBC concluded. “Falling energy prices do not help.”

THE LATEST SKIRMISH BETWEEN STREET MUSICIANS AND THE NEW ORLEANS POLICE DEPARTMENT (NOPD) erupted on Frenchmen Street

last week, when video of an altercation between brass band musicians and the NOPD went viral.

The five-and-a-half minute cellphone video, shot by Facebook user Christopher Henry, shows NOPD arriving at the corner of Chartres and Frenchmen streets in response to a noise complaint by a local business. Cops arrested brass band musician Eugene Grant “for obstructing public passages and resisting an officer,” according to an NOPD spokesman. Grant was released from custody the next morning and charges against him were dropped.

Several people in the video identify the owners of Frenchmen Art & Books as the people who called NOPD. The shop, which did business for decades as an LGBT and feminist bookstore known as Faubourg Marigny Art & Books under former owners Alan Robinson and Otis Fennell, was sold in March, according to its website.

The store is registered with the Louisiana Secretary of State to an LLC called Studio DMZ, whose registered agent is David Zalkind. No one answered the phone at the shop the following day.

Zena Moses, a musician who was playing a gig at the club 30°/-90°, told Gambit she showed up at 8:45 p.m. and saw NOPD officers running to the corner about 10 minutes later, where the Slow Rollas Brass Band was playing for a crowd. (By city ordinance, street bands must stop playing at 10 p.m.)

NOPD spokesman Andy Cunningham told Gambit in a statement, “Eighth District officers asked members of a brass band playing in the street to move to the sidewalk in order to allow traffic to pass and to not block the entrance to a nearby business. At that time, a member of the band later identified as Eugene Grant struck one of the officers in the chest with his instrument, damaging the officer’s bodyworn camera.

“After striking the officer with his instrument, Grant refused repeated requests by both officers and citizens to calm down, forcing the PAGE 8

officers to detain Grant until backup arrived. Grant was arrested for obstructing public passages and resisting an officer.”

Catherine Buccello of New York, who was in town for the Essence Music Festival, was among those documenting the incident on her cellphone. She told Gambit that NOPD officers — she estimated 10 to 15 of them were on the scene — had their Tasers out as Grant was pinned to the ground.

“Emotions were running high” on both sides, she said. “It’s just very heartbreaking to see after celebrating Essence Fest.”

Moses told Gambit that Grant, who is in his early 20s, is a “floater,” who plays trumpet with various bands on the corner and is well known: “New Orleans musicians, they practically raised this little boy.”

Buccello said Frenchmen Street workers told her that Grant, a regular on the block, would be taken home by local workers when their shifts were over.

Grant is known to be disabled, Moses said, “as we say in the city, ‘slow,’ ” but that he was “never irate. ... I can’t see him being aggressive.”

Grant’s mother Betty told The New Orleans Advocate that Eugene has developmental delays and is on the autism spectrum.

Moses said she counted 15 police cars responding to the incident — 13 marked and two unmarked, both NOPD and Louisiana state troopers — and has video of them.

“You would think they had weapons of mass destruction the way the police were responding,” she added.

“NOPD will always celebrate our city’s world-famous traditions and culture, including its music,” NOPD spokesman Cunningham said in his statement, “while also responding accordingly to complaints made by our residents, visitors and business owners.”

Brass bands have been a traditional fixture at that intersection, which is anchored by Frenchmen Art & Books, Dat Dog, Willie’s Chicken Shack (on the site of the former Praline Connection) and the defunct Cafe Brasil.

At night, dozens if not hundreds of people, many of them tourists, often go to the corner to enjoy free brass band music.

“Musicians are the ones that enhance the culture,” Moses said, but “the musicians always get the short end of the stick.” — KEVIN ALLMAN & KAYLEE POCHE

ICE protests rescheduled due to hurricane watch After a hurricane watch was issued for parts of south Louisiana last week, several New Orleans events aimed at protesting U.S. Immigration

and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and its detention centers — protests originally scheduled for Friday, July 12 — have been rescheduled for Friday, July 19.

The group Southern Belles for Social Justice are planning a protest at the New Orleans ICE Field Office (1250 Poydras St.) from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. According to the event’s Facebook page, the purpose of the protest is to “shame ICE employees,” reminding attendees that “it is critical that during this action we do not disrupt asylum seekers entering the building.”

Advocates then will reconvene for an event dubbed Eat Pizza! Cry! Defund ICE, at Red Truck Clubhouse (740 N. Rampart St.) to make signs and organize before heading to the last event of the day, a candlelight vigil for “those lost in migration and detention throughout history.”

A funeral procession through the French Quarter will begin at 6:30 p.m. and conclude back at the ICE office for the vigil — organized by Lights for Liberty. Drums, parading bands and bells are encouraged, as well as costumes.

Speakers and performers are scheduled from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. The vigil will begin at 9 p.m. Real candles are not allowed; organizers ask attendees to bring battery-operated tea lights or use phone flashlights instead. Lights for Liberty has organized similar vigils across the country, with several scheduled for July 12, and others planned for Covington and Baton Rouge.

Local sponsors of the vigil include New Orleans City Hall’s Office of Human Rights and Equity, the New Orleans and Metairie chapters of Indivisible, Puentes New Orleans and Bethlehem Lutheran Church, among others.

These events follow reports last month that New Orleans was one of the 10 cities targeted for a large-scale deportation effort by ICE, announced

by President Donald Trump but ultimately delayed to work out a deal concerning the U.S.-Mexico border.

Local food-related reproductive rights benefits continue After a “boozy bake sale” raised more than $45,000 for reproductive and abortion rights groups last month, several in the culinary community are continuing food-based events to raise money for the cause.

Bacchanal Wine has kicked off its Wednesday Primal Night backyard barbecue series. While the event is free, plates of grilled food will be provided with a suggested donation of $20 per plate. According to a press release, the event will last “until the food runs out.”

Big Freedia, the ice cream diva New Orleans’ Queen Diva will now double as the “Ice Kween” thanks to a new Ben & Jerry’s ice cream flavor, Big Freedia’s Bouncing Beignets, which was announced during the recent Essence Music Festival.

Freedia and Ben & Jerry’s representatives unveiled the new flavor — vanilla ice cream with a bourbon caramel swirl topped with powdered sugar — and let attendees at a launch event at Republic NOLA sample a scoop. Oddly, Ben & Jerry’s representatives said they couldn’t say when or if the flavor would be available in grocery stores.

The event benefited charities No

Kid Hungry Louisiana, Upturn Arts and Liberty’s Kitchen, three charities with which Freedia is involved. Freedia also announced she was working on her own foundation called Bounce Up “for the kids of New Orleans.”

“I choose kids because on their journey growing up, our kids need guidance,” Freedia said, “and if I can try to help be that guidance and a role model, I want to do just that. …

This is home, so I’ve got to give back to home.”

Freedia also gave fans a listen to her new track with pop singer Kesha called “Chasing Rainbows” — which will be the first single on her next album.

“This song is about being a kid and going through the things that I went through and chasing my dreams, and it’s about everybody being able to chase their dreams, no matter who you are,” Freedia said. “No matter what race, no what matter what your gender, no matter who you choose to love, you have to chase your dreams — and this is about me still on my journey to chasing my dreams.”

Rispone goes all in on Trump; X marks the Landrieu Though President Donald Trump, who remains popular in Louisiana, has yet to weigh in on the state’s October gubernatorial race — in which Republicans U.S. Rep. Ralph Abraham and Baton Rouge businessman Eddie Rispone both hope to unseat Democratic incumbent Gov. John Bel Edwards — Rispone is tying his run closely to Trump.

Last week, Rispone debuted a 30-second commercial titled “Eddie Rispone: Drain the Swamp,” in which he promised to drain the proverbial (if not the literal) swamp in Baton Rouge. “We have people who make a living off of government,” Rispone said. He also revealed a bumper sticker that read “I STAND WITH TRUMP” in large capital letters, with “Eddie Rispone for Governor” in small type at the bottom. The stickers are available for sale for $5.

A fourth candidate, Gary Landrieu — cousin of former Mayor Mitch Landrieu and former U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu — continued his outsider gubernatorial campaign by announcing online, “GARY LANDRIEUX, I AM NOW AN X LANDRIEU.” One of his major campaign vows is to crack down on illegal immigration; in a 30-second ad filmed at Lee Circle, Landrieu promises, “I’m gonna round them [illegal immigrants] up and send them back to their home countries” — though Landrieu does not explain how a governor could have the power to deport anyone.

back by All donations will benefit Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast and Lift Louisiana, a New Orleans group active in women’s rights issues in Louisiana.

“Anyone who saw the long lines at the bake sale, or participated in any of the protests knows that New Orleanians want and support women’s reproductive rights,” said Michelle Erenberg, Lift Louisiana executive director.

During the 2019 legislative session, Lift Louisiana members were vocal in hearings testifying for the passage of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) and against several abortion restrictions. Ultimately, state lawmakers did not pass the ERA but did pass restrictive abortion measures, mirroring a national trend of abortion restrictions passed by lawmakers in red states.

Backlash to the restrictions began quickly, starting with a symbolic resolution by the New Orleans City Council condemning one of the most stringent bills passed by the Legislature — one that would ban abortions after the sixth week of pregnancy, before many women know they are pregnant. A protest and fundraisers for abortion rights groups popped up around the city.

Erenberg said these fundraisers provide funding that abortion rights organizations rely on to stay afloat and help increase awareness surrounding reproductive issues.

“The opposition is well-funded and organized, so we need to build our numbers and show our strength,” she said.

The series will take place every Wednesday through the beginning of October, according to Bacchanal’s website.

Participating chefs include Jacqueline Blanchard of Coutelier, Mason Hereford of Turkey and the Wolf and Molly’s Rise and Shine, Marcus Jacobs of Marjie’s Grill, Kristin Essig of Coquette, Matt Kohl of Chicago’s Young American Bar and Nick Martin of La Boca.

straightforward. Unless a storm was Category 3 or higher, most people hunkered down with the recommended supplies (and some liquid refreshment) and waited it out — unless city officials or the much-trusted Nash Roberts, WWL-TV’s late meteorologist and hurricane expert, told us to evacuate.

No more. Things natural and manmade have combined against us, most notably climate change, which both supercharges hurricanes and brings Midwest floodwaters that sluice down the swollen Mississippi River, pressing against levees built nearly a century ago to protect New Orleans from the mighty river’s annual floods.

This is the first hurricane season since the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers told Congress that the levees it designed and built after Hurricane Katrina — to protect us from storm surges — are sinking faster than anticipated. Meanwhile, the New Orleans Sewerage & Water Board continues to grapple with century-old, crumbling infrastructure as well as decades of mismanagement and neglect.

Twenty-four years ago, what was known then as the “May 8 flood” astounded southeast Louisiana, causing $3.1 billion in damages and killing seven people. It was labeled a freak occurrence; then-Mayor Marc Morial speculated that it might be a “500-year flood.”

That was barely a generation ago.

Since then we’ve seen rainstorms that produced what could be considered “100-year floods.” One of those struck in the early morning hours of July 10. Every flood seems to bring a new nasty surprise; this one sent torrents of water into neighborhoods that don’t traditionally flood, including Uptown, the Irish Channel and the French Quarter.

New Orleans streets flooded from a rainstorm July 10.

Planning for hurricanes or tropical storms reflects not only what officials say, but also a new algebra of risk assessment. We’ll all evacuate in the face of a major hurricane, but what about a Category 1 or “mere” tropical storm? Is it moving quickly or slowly?

Does it have a broad rain field? Is the ground already saturated? Is my neighborhood prone to flooding?

Are we on the storm’s “wet” or “dry” side? Is it expected to strike near the mouth of the Mississippi River and possibly move upriver? What is the river’s height? Do we trust what the Corps of Engineers is saying? The Sewerage & Water Board? Entergy?

It’s a complex equation to be sure.

Here’s another factor: What if a Gulf storm suddenly becomes a major hurricane and then strengthens to Category 5 just before landfall?

That’s what happened last year when Hurricane Michael slammed the Florida Panhandle and wrought destruction for hundreds of miles inland.

This new storm-born algebra is only going to get more complicated in coming years as climate change continues. This year has seen record-breaking temperatures in Europe and an actual heat wave in Alaska that sent residents scurrying for air conditioners. While this past winter brought calmer weather to much of North America, Australia saw wildfires and deadly heat waves.

The world is changing, and we must adapt to those changes. The new calculation of risk assessment is a start, but it’s purely reactive. Our nation and the world must become more proactive — because we can only adapt so much before the changes overwhelm us.

Hey Blake, I remember hearing that seeds of some of the trees at Armstrong Park went to the moon as some sort of experiment. Is this true?

Dear reader,

In March 1974, about 100 seedlings and small trees that traveled to the moon and back as part of the Apollo XIV mission three years earlier, were presented to the city for planting in Louis Armstrong Park, which was under construction at the time. The Times-Picayune called them “trees as well-traveled as famed jazzman Louis Armstrong (which) will grace a large park to be named for him.”

According to a March 20, 1974 article in The Times-Picayune, the donation included redwoods, Douglas firs, sweetgums, sycamores and loblolly pines. They were some of the 500 seeds taken into orbit around the moon and distributed across the country. “We were interested to see if they would be affected by weightlessness, but they germinated normally,” said Dr. John C. Barber, director of the Southern Forest Experiment Station.

Louis Armstrong Park was among locations to receive trees germinated from seeds that went to the moon in the Apollo XIV mission.

Apollo XIV, which took place in January and February 1971, was NASA’s third lunar mission. The crew included Cmdr. Alan Shepard, lunar module pilot Edgar Mitchell and command module pilot Stuart Roosa, a former U.S. Forest Service smokejumper, or parachuted firefighter, who coordinated the travel of the so-called “moon trees” and their seeds.

In July 1976, another moon tree was planted at NASA’s Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans East to commemorate the seventh anniversary of the first Apollo mission.

Former astronaut Wally Schirra was present at the tree planting ceremony, where a time capsule was buried with plans for opening in 2076. Another moon tree was planted near the World Trade Center of New Orleans in 1983 but has since been removed.

THIS WEEK, AS THE NATION MARKS THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE APOLLO 11 MISSION and Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin’s July 20, 1969 walk on the moon,

we remember the role of local workers who helped get those astronauts there.

The booster rockets for Apollo 11 and many other missions were built at the NASA Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans East and test fired at the John C. Stennis Space Center on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

Michoud gets its name from Antoine Michoud, a Frenchman who operated a sugar cane plantation and refinery at the site in the 19th century. In the 1940s, the area was used as a military production facility for Higgins Industries. In 1961, the 45-acre site was acquired by NASA and assigned to Chrysler and Boeing for the production of the Saturn I and Saturn V booster rockets.

The Michoud facility at one point employed 12,000 people.

Beginning in 1980, workers for Martin Marietta, which later became Lockheed Martin, also built the external tanks for the NASA Space Shuttle program at Michoud. Currently, workers there are involved in construction for the Space Launch System, the NASA program that aims to land the next man and first woman on the moon by 2024 and also explore Mars.

Moises says he originally thought his series would be passed among his friends, but the Instagram account has almost a halfmillion followers.

FRENCH QUARTER REVELERS TELL ALL — ON INSTAGRAM

!

IS THERE ANYTHING YOU’D LIKE TO CONFESS? THE INSTAGRAM SITE QUARTER CONFESSIONS wants to know. Many Bourbon Street strollers end up spilling their darkest secrets on camera — to an audience of 472,000 followers. @quarterconfessions takes viewers onto the streets of the French Quarter and invites revelers of all walks of life to confess to anything they choose. A surprising number accept.

A scroll through Quarter Confessions reveals everything from salacious details of sexual encounters to accounts of serious crimes.

Michael Moises, director of Quarter Confessions, said you never know what people will say, especially if they’re drunk.

“If you put a camera in front of people’s faces, especially if they’ve been drinking …” he said.

The idea of Quarter Confessions began when Moises and co-producer Martin Begue trekked to the Bywater to interview transplants for the 10th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. The day didn’t end up yielding results for that project, but it planted an idea in Moises’ head that eventually would go viral — walking around interviewing people on the streets of New Orleans. When the Quarter

Confession crew first hit the streets in September 2018, it didn’t have much of a plan past that.

“I thought maybe my friends would watch it and maybe it would spread around New Orleans a little bit,” Moises said. “I didn’t know what the content would be. I didn’t know how the people were going to respond either.”

His idea found a natural home in the Vieux Carre, a breeding ground for the sort of chaos and uninhibited characters on which Quarter Confessions thrives. Moises knew that Bourbon Street, in particular, attracts “a ton of characters.”

“I think there’s a different [sort of] person that hangs out on Bourbon, no knock at all,” Moises said. “But I think people are generally looser. You just have people who are fun and open.”

On Quarter Confessions’ inaugural night, Moises and his team filmed what they describe as some of their craziest clips to date (some remain unpublished). A memorable encounter was with a man who performed fellatio on himself, with evident practice, until a police officer intervened.

Emboldened by liquid courage and the promise of “being on TV,” others on the show have confessed to incestuous relationships, cheating on partners and — several times — murder.

“I fucked her dad,” said a young woman clothed in Mardi Gras rugby stripes, pointing to her nearby friend. “She got mad, I

fucked her dad, it’s fine ...

I was in Ardmore at her family dinner and she fell asleep and her dad was like ‘ay’.”

“Tonight I’m gonna tie my husband up, I’m not gonna untie him until tomorrow. I’m gonna make him scream like a little bitch,” said one woman.

“I’m scared, but excited at the same time,” her husband said.

“I’m on a lot of acid right now,” one man said.

“I guess my deepest darkest confession is that I lost my virginity to my cousin. It was honestly in the bathroom of a fucking family event, it was at my brother’s wedding,” said one man. “We didn’t know we were cousins until like three or four months after.

I was like ‘Hey, Mom, I got this fine ass girl.’ Both families broke the news to both of us because the parents contacted each other.”

“My deepest darkest secret is that I’m a 58-yearold nymphomaniac,” said one man.

“I got a crazy confession, bro, we just met and we’re getting married,” said a man clutching a woman’s hand.

“I cheated on my boyfriend,” said one woman.

When it was her friend’s turn to confess, she said the same, but a third friend took the cake: “I’ve cheated on five of my boyfriends,” she said.

“I slept with my mom’s baby daddy,” said one man. “And my mom should’ve known that [he] was gay.”

“One time, I was walking home from school, I met a hot chick. My stomach was bubbly, I was running my game, right, talking to her, had to shit really bad. Next thing I know, I try to fart, like a little silent fart, and shitted on myself,” said one man holding a large “Huge Ass Beers” collectible.

“I fucked my dad’s wife.

Now he doesn’t claim me as his son,” said one man.

“I vowed not to tell anyone,

because it was supposed to be between the three of us, but what the hell. We’re on Bourbon.”

“People just went wild,” Moises said.

The incendiary nature of these confessions raises the question: Do people know what they’re getting themselves into? The answer: mostly yes. Participants sign forms prior to being interviewed, though Moises often removes content upon request.

“We also never really interview people who are blackout drunk,” he said.

“We definitely interview people who are drunk, but there’s a line.”

Finding sober people to film on Bourbon Street might be a difficult task. But it’s not only the free-flowing booze so ubiquitous to Bourbon Street that makes something like Quarter Confessions possible, it’s the come-as-you-are, accepting spirit of the place itself.

The glimpse into the

personal lives that Quarter Confessions provides is raw — and so is the side of New Orleans that it portrays.

Amid gleaming tourism billboards and romanticized tales of the birthplace of jazz — a tagline Moises has used on the show — it’s easy to forget what the French Quarter looks, sounds and smells like until you’re standing in the middle of it.

But the relationship Quarter Confessions has with the city is surprisingly reverent.

“I don’t want it to be a negative portrayal,” Moises said. “I don’t want people to think that Bourbon Street is a gross place. … I think it’s important to be able to go and do whatever they want and act however they want and not have to feel bad about it.”

Like Quarter Confessions, other Vieux Carre-centric Instagram accounts document what the boots-on-theground Quarter is like. @drunkonbourbon documents all things dealing with

Dozens of other accounts are pioneering the latest medium of a centuries-old fascination with the city’s oldest neighborhood. In the age of social media, it makes sense that Instagrammers are leading the charge. And though the medium and the prominence of French Quarter appreciation is changing, the core of the place — its fatalistic, bacchanalian spirit — remains the same.

“What Bourbon Street is has happened every single night until now,” Moises said. “There’s never been a point where it wasn’t exactly what it is. I feel like it hasn’t really been affected by the outside world at all; it’s literally just a street with neon. If you look at pictures from the ’60s or ’70s, it looks exactly the same, just maybe a fewer signs.”

The future of Quarter Confessions, like the city’s plans for the Vieux Carre, may turn toward a more affectionate portrayal of the city.

“I do kind of want to take a step back and see what can we do to make sure that we can capture the parts that are funny about it, because I do still maintain the fact that it is very special place. It’s interesting,” Moises said. “My goal is maybe to make people laugh and to make people know that It’s OK to be yourself.”

A new host will join the Quarter Confessions’ team when it resumes filming in September, but it won’t change the show’s unwavering focus on the Crescent City.

“People from all around the world are seeing it,” Moises said. “It makes me happy to put New Orleans on the map in that way.”

BY W I LL C OV I E LLO DOUGLAS ANKRAH CREATED THE PORNSTAR MARTINI IN LONDON IN 2003. It features vanilla vodka,

passion fruit liqueur and passion fruit puree with a shot of Champagne on the side. Ankrah eventually got out from behind the bar, and in 2017 he released a bottled version of the cocktail. He’s at Tales of the Cocktail this week, where’ he’ll participate in a seminar titled “Stayin’ Alive: Why Disco Drinks Never Die” (12:30 p.m.

Wednesday, July 17), which celebrates the Pornstar martini, Harvey Wallbanger, grasshopper and other cocktails that were popular in the disco era.

The spirits and bartender event Tales of the Cocktail takes place July 16 to 21 at the Royal Sonesta hotel and venues across New Orleans.

There are tasting rooms, cocktail pairing dinners, parties, cocktail history walking tours in the French Quarter and seminars on a variety of topics featuring liquor brand ambassadors, bartenders, spirits writers and others. In its 16 years, Tales programming has diversified to include everything from spirits focuses to business topics, inclusivity, sobriety and health and mental wellness.

Spirits are a primary focus at Tales, and there are seminars on everything from varieties of whiskey and gin to mezcal, vermouth, apertivo, Chambord, Japanese shochu and artisanal Colombian spirits. There are more than 50 tasting rooms featuring spirits and mixers at the Royal Sonesta.

Attendees who spend more than $150 on seminars get free admission to tasting rooms. A wristband for tasting room admission only costs $125.

“Liquipedia” (3:30 p.m. Friday, July 19) is an annual seminar that highlights esoteric and scientific drink knowledge. Panelists, including Time magazine writer Jeffrey Kluger, strive to answer as many questions as possible in the 90-minute session.

There’s also a myth-busting panel

called “Fake Booze News: How to Tell When a Cocktail Story is Total Crap” (10 a.m. Thursday, July 18).

Participants include food writers Robert Simonson of the New York Times and M. Carrie Allan of The Washington Post.

“Cannabooze 2025” (3 p.m. Saturday, July 20) is a business-centered seminar that will project how the legalization of marijuana will impact the spirits industry.

In addition to the disco drinks seminar, there’s an air of indulgence to tiki drink seminars, a boat drinks pop-up event and, if there are any fans of Tom Cruise’s “Cocktail,” a pop-up of ’80s movie-inspired drinks. A business seminar about “The Future of Daydrinking” (12:30 p.m. Wednesday, July 17) examines bar programs and promotions in a climate of moderation. At the other end of the spectrum, there are events focused on nonalcoholic drinks, such as the Mocktail Project (6 p.m. Friday, July 19).

In recent years, Tales has expanded programing about wellness and workplace safety. Programs range from daily yoga sessions to seminars on mental health in the hospitality industry and self-care and sobriety.

Safety is the subject of “101-Harassment and Hospitality Don’t Mix” (noon Thursday, July 18) and

A-K Hada

REAL EXPERIENCE.

REAL RESULTS.

Bartender

A-K HADA GREW UP IN ATLANTA and moved to New York to

pursue a dancing career. When she left the dance world, she entered the hospitality industry.

She’s the head bartender at New York speakeasy PDT (113 St. Marks Place, New York City, 212-614-0586; www.pdtnyc. com). She’s attending Tales of the Cocktail this week, where she leads the Cocktail Apprentice Program. She also is a panelist on the seminar titled “How to Navigate New Spirits.”

BROCATO LAW FIRM, PLC

Why is PDT referred to as a “speakeasy”?

HADA: A “speakeasy” nowadays refers to a hidden bar, like with a hidden entrance. The bar that was to become PDT got denied a liquor license at the last minute. What they figured out was that they could cut a hole in the wall and operate on the liquor license of the hot dog shop next door. You enter the bar through the hot dog shop and through a phone booth. It’s a small bar and its seated-only, there’s no standing room. We can fill the place with 40 to 45 people. The menu is comprised of 18 drinks — four are PDT classic cocktails and the rest evolve. We try to be seasonal, but we don’t do whole seasonal menu changes.

What kinds of cocktails are on the menu?

H: The one we’re most famous for is the Benton’s Old Fashioned. It is a Benton’s bacon fat-washed Four Roses Bourbon. It’s a bourbon infused with bacon fat. Benton’s is a heritage farm in Tennessee known for its smoked meats. Fat-washing is a technique, so with bacon fat, there’s an extra step. We melt bacon fat to liquid form and freeze it for a slow infusion process — you solidify bacon so you can strain it off. (For the cocktail) we also use maple syrup we get from the Union Square Greenmarket and Angostura bitters.

We also have a white Negroni on the menu. It’s made with a barrel-aged gin from Vermont called Barr Hill (Reserve Tom Cat gin).

There’s pommeau, which is apple brandy mixed with apple juice, sweet vermouth from California and Luxardo Bitter Bianco. All of

those ingredients look unusual, but it’s a spirit-forward bitter gin cocktail with apple flavor and you get some baking spice notes from the barrel aging of the gin.

Uptown, New Orleans, LA

What will you present at the Tales of the Cocktail seminar?

H: Every month, hundreds of new spirits are released, whether they be base spirits, boutique spirits, small-batch spirits or liqueurs. At the seminar, we’ll talk about the process to decide which ones to pick up. At PDT, the majority of people coming in order off our cocktail menu, so what we put on the menu will be what we sell.

Because of the nature of the bar, we’re able to talk to guests about our drinks.

(At the seminar) we’ll talk about liquid analysis — essentially is it a good product? We’ll talk about the financial side of [determining the cost of a drink]. My section of the seminar is on the intangibles.

Do you know the producers? Are they using sustainable methods?

It’s the bigger picture.

NEW ORLEANS’ PREMIER

EVENT VENUES

PREVIEW Stef Chura

P H OTO B Y K E L S E Y H A R T

BY RAPHAEL HELFAND

MICHAEL BUBLÉ

STEF CHURA HAS A VOICE THAT CREEPS UNDER YOUR SKIN. It isn’t melodramatic or cloyingly quiet, nor is it smoky and seductive. It’s got a swaggering smolder bold enough to carry a melody with confidence, but vulnerable enough to waver in all the right spots, emphasizing moments of pain, anger or ecstasy. On her second album, “Midnight,” released in June on Saddle Creek records, she complements her raw vocals with polished production from Car Seat Headrest’s Will Toledo, who smartly accents her turns of phrase.

At Gasa Gasa, Chura is joined by Los Angeles punk outfit French Vanilla, led by frontwoman Sally Spitz’s caustic, hilarious vocals. She’s backed by guitarist Ali Day, drummer Greg Shilton and bassist Daniel Trautfield, who also plays tongue-in-cheek power sax on many of the band’s best songs. French Vanilla dropped its sophomore LP, “How Am I Not Myself?,” in June via Danger Collective. The band is an effortlessly cool, very talented outfit at the peak of its expertly packaged nonchalance.

At 10 p.m. Friday, July 19, at Gasa Gasa, 4920 Freret St., (504) 338-3567; www.gasagasa.com. Tickets $10 in advance, $12 at the door.

Todd Barry

BY WILL COVIELLO TODD BARRY HAS SPENT MUCH OF HIS CAREER in stand-up comedy, starring in two specials on Comedy Central, appearing on Louis C.K.’s “Louie” and “Inside Amy Schumer” and voicing several characters on “Bob’s Burgers.” Barry’s deadpan style takes the edge off his biting humor, which often is aimed at the most picayune of observations and, more recently, one of the world’s least heated beefs, his tweet-for-tat social media jousting with fellow New Yorker Colin Quinn. Barry’s self-deprecating side shines in his 2017 book “Thank You for Coming to Hattiesburg: One Comedian’s Tour of the Not-Quitethe-Biggest Cities in the World.” Barry is on a tour of cities large (Boston, Toronto) and small (he’s in Lafayette July 20). Kamari Stevens opens at 8:30 p.m. Thursday, July 18, and Vincent Zambon opens at 8:30 p.m. Friday, July 19, at Dragon’s Den, 435 Esplanade Ave., www.dragonsdennola.com. Tickets $20.

GOING OUT REVIEW ‘Angelique’

BY D. ERIK BOOKHARDT THE RIVERBEND NEIGHBORHOOD’S BURTHE STREET epitomizes the area’s sedate, leafy aura on its 14-block stretch from the fitness center at Leake Avenue by the Mississippi River levee to the Tulane Muslim Student Association at Audubon Street. Its obscure allure is appreciated by those of us who live nearby, but its newly revealed connection to the glory days of the Paris Salon was unexpected.

The New Orleans Museum of Art (NOMA) purchased Leopold Burthe’s newly rediscovered painting, “Angelique” (pictured), which shines a new light on the street’s time-shrouded namesake, Dominique Francois Burthe, the artist’s wealthy father. Like many children of affluent local French families, Leopold, born in 1823, was educated in Paris. There he fell under the spell of French art star Jean-August-Dominique Ingres, whose influence infuses the virtuoso rendering of Burthe’s “Angelique.” Ingres even painted a related canvas, “Angelica Saved by Ruggiero,” also based on the 16th-century Italian poem, “Orlando Furioso” by Ludovico Ariosto.

Ingres’ version is a literal view of a white knight rescuing his beloved heroine in bondage, but Burthe’s version is more psychological. Instead of a classic white knight, Burthe’s rescuing hero is a shadowy figure emerging from dark clouds, and if Ingres’ heroine seems to be rapturously awaiting her hero, Burthe’s heroine appears unsure, or as the unnamed author of a Zurich, Switzerland gallery’s description of the painting put it, she seems “resistant” to both the threat of sea monsters and the approaching knight. Both Ingres and Burthe depict the knight astride a hippogriff, a mythic hybrid of a horse and an eagle, but Burthe’s version looks more like a dragon.

Burthe’s masterpiece, which was exhibited at the 1852 Paris salon, seems like a precursor to the work of 20th-century fantasy artist Frank Frazetta as well as the imagery of the role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons and the “Game of Thrones” TV series – which gives one a lot to ponder while wandering on Burthe Street. NOMA, 1 Collins C. Diboll Circle, (504) 658-4100; www.noma.org.

Bo is an 8-year-old German Shepard Bo is very big and very calm. Reserved and independent, he likes doing his own thing. Good news is that he walks nicely on the leash and may be housebroken. We introduced him to another dog, and he was totally relaxed and a little interested but no pulling. Now, that is good news. A real adult looking for someone to share his life.
