Peelander-Z | The New York-based Japanese band Peelander-Z has fused Ramones-inspired punk with Japanese-style pop cultural fascination, dressing like Power Rangers and offering silly songs like “Tacos Tacos Tacos,” which endlessly repeats “Tacos tacos tacos,” or “S.T.E.A.K.” April release Space Vacation incorporated new wave sounds, but a bigger change was announced at the beginning of this tour, with Peelander Red planning to leave the band following its conclusion.

Louisiana voting 101

Quvenzhane Wallis,

the Louisiana native and young star of the acclaimed Beasts of the Soutern Wild, earned the New Hollywood Award at the 16th annual Hollywood Film Awards in Los Angeles on Oct. 22. Wallis starred as “Hushpuppy” in Benh Zeitlein’s film, which received the Grand Jury Prize at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival and the Camera d’Or at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival.

Ellen DeGeneres

What you need (and what you don’t) when you hit the polls on Tuesday.

was awarded the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. The New Orleans native began her stand-up comedy career here and has raised millions of dollars for Hurricane Katrina recovery efforts. DeGeneres’ honor was telecast in a special on PBS Oct. 30. “Washington, D.C., is so different from where I grew up,” DeGeneres noted on Twitter. “When you take your top off, no one throws beads.”

SOLACE, Polls in each state require a certain distance between voters and solicitors, including campaign workers. In Texas, state attorney general Greg Abbot has challenged international poll monitors the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe for violating a law requiring them to remain 100 feet from voters.

Casper says no poll monitoring firms have approached Louisiana — where the legal buffer zone is 600 feet. “We haven’t received any requests for election observers,” she says; though two international firms did perform surveys preceding the elections, she said, they are not monitoring polls. Pollsters would have had to register by Feb. 15 in order to qualify.

To make the most of your time at the polls, Casper offers a few suggestions: “Anticipate long lines, bring water, know your ballot ahead of time, and having your ID certainly makes the line go faster,” she says, adding, “We encourage people to study the ballot before they vote.” (You’re limited to three minutes inside the booth.) Casper adds that the commissioners at each polling precinct will help you find your polling location if you’re at the wrong one.

The Louisiana secretary of state offers the free mobile app “Geaux Vote” for iPhone and Android devices — enter your name and ZIP code and select from a list of options, including a map to your polling location and sample of the ballot in your area. The secretary of state’s website also offers a web-based version of Geaux Vote (https://geauxvotemobile.sos.la.gov).

c’est Whom do you support in the City Council District E race?

the Supporters of Lawyers/Legal Personnel All Concern Encouraged, recently celebrated its 10th anniversary of helping legal personnel connect with one another in times of crisis.

Founded by New Orleans attorney Mark Suprenant and U.S. District Judge Jay Zainey, SOLACE has more than 7,700 members in Louisiana and has become a model for programs in 11 states and Puerto Rico.

Michael “Brownie” Brown

may have outdone himself this time. In an interview with Westword, the feckless former FEMA chief was suspicious of the prompt federal response to Hurricane Sandy, comparing it to what he saw as the Obama Administration’s foot-dragging on the Benghazi attacks: “Why was this so quick? … At some point, somebody’s going to ask that question,” Brown said.

Only in Brownie World is a prompt federal response problematic.

tHIS WEEK’S Question:

Mayor Mitch Landrieu says he will ask the New Orleans City Council to amend current law to allow the Sewerage and Water Board to shut off water to people who don’t pay their trash fees. Do you agree?

Gambit > bestofneworleans.com > november 6 > 2012

n 2002, the Help America Vote Act set federal standards for voting requirements, including providing a valid driver’s license or state-issued ID. Those voter ID requirements vary from state to state. Louisiana is among a handful of states — including Florida, Hawaii, Idaho, Michigan, New Hampshire, North Dakota and South Dakota — that don’t require voters to present a state-issued ID to vote. In 2012, more than 30 states introduced legislation to adopt or strengthen existing voter ID laws — new laws were passed in Minnesota, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania and Virginia (though Minnesota’s measure will require voter approval on Tuesday’s ballot).

More than 20 states (mostly Democratic) have ruled voter ID laws unconstitutional, or don’t require voters bring a picture ID to the polls, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Opponents say the laws prevent voters or wouldbe voters from casting their votes, while supporters say they’re necessary to prevent fraud.

In Louisiana, while showing your ID is preferred, you don’t need one to enter the voting booth. A Louisiana voting commissioner or poll worker asks you for a state-issued picture ID. If you don’t have one, you must present a copy of a bill, a pay stub or a government-issued document with your name and address.

Along with one of those documents, you must also sign an affidavit confirming your identity. Affidavits are available at each polling precinct — you don’t have to visit your clerk of court, but “it takes a while,” says Meg Casper, press secretary for Secretary of State Tom Schedler’s office. “It just lengthens your time at the polling place.” Once collected, the affidavits and votes are audited to validate your identity.

Staff from the parish’s clerk of court and secretary of state’s office train the voting commissioners and poll workers to handle voters at each precinct. “Our law requires that they hold at least one general training course annually and they must also hold a pre-election course before each federal election,” Casper says. “Each takes about an hour.”

If you want to be a volunteer poll worker in future elections, you can visit the Orleans Parish Clerk of Court’s office (2700 Tulane Ave., room 114) or visit the secretary of state’s website (www.sos.la.gov) to print out an application form. To enroll in a training course, you must be a registered voter in Louisiana and at least 17 years old. Voting commissioners may earn up to $250 during an election, performing booth setup and assisting voters.

DON’T BE SO THICK.

Quotes of the week Hurricane Sandy edition “Better to be fast than late.” — FEMA head Craig Fugate, replying to former FEMA head Michael “Brownie” Brown’s criticism that President Barack Obama’s response to Hurricane Sandy was somehow too rapid. “Why was this so quick?” Brown wondered in an interview last week. “At some point, somebody’s going to ask that question. … This is like the inverse of Benghazi.”

“Hurricane Sandy should teach us to be prepared, willing to live without the modern conveniences of elevators, computers and refrigerators. Hurricane Sandy should teach all of us to chill.” — Michael Brown, doubling down in an op-ed in the Canadian newspaper Globe & Mail.

Gambit > bestofneworleans.com > november 6 > 2012

“Brownie lecturing the public on emergency response is like Jerry Sandusky lecturing on child protection.” — A commenter on the Globe & Mail website.

“I want to get them the resources that are necessary. … But not one big shot to just open up the checkbook because they spent it on Gucci bags and massage parlors and everything you can think of in addition to what was necessary.” — Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, on Hurricane Sandy relief, referencing the individual aid issued after Hurricane Katrina. In 2005, King was one of only 11 members of Congress to vote against the Katrina aid bill.

“One of the first thoughts that came to my mind was, ‘Well, then, we won’t help Iowa either!’ Iowa has floods, tornadoes and drought, all these disasters are aided by the federal government on a more regular basis than hurricanes in New Jersey. But no, Mr. King, these are the United States and it is our job to help each other when faced with devastating natural events.”

— New Jersey Assemblywoman Connie Wagner, in an email to the Huffington Post.

“Dear N.Y. and N.J and other affected communities — if Ed Blakely comes a-knocking … don’t let him in.” — The Lens’ Karen Gadbois, offering sage advice to those affected by Hurricane Sandy.

Carville, Matalin to dissect election ‘Living room cHat’ Set for tHurSday at uno Political strategists and ultimate power couple James Carville and

news + views Mary Matalin will slice and dice the outcome of Tuesday’s national elections Nov. 8 at the University of New Orleans.

Their presentation kicks off a series of events marking the investiture of Peter J. Fos as UNO’s first president under the UL system.

Coming just two days after the presidential election, the Matalin-Carville discussion begins at 6:30 p.m. and is free and open to the public — but seating is limited to the first 750 people who arrive. standing room will be provided for overflow crowds.

The couple’s analysis, dubbed “The 2012 Presidential election: A Living Room Chat,” is part of UNO’s Homer L. Hitt Distinctive Lecture series. The presentation will focus on all aspects of the election, including the efficacy of preelection strategies by the candidates and implications of election outcome for the next four years. Gambit columnist and political editor Clancy DuBos will moderate the discussion. Limited questions from the audience will be entertained.

The Hitt Distinctive Lecture series is sponsored by the UNO Founders Club.

Consent monitor deadline extended

Fare warning Cabbies want mOre time tO COmply with updates As the 2013 super Bowl and Carnival season approach, the city is moving ahead to update taxicabs — what City Council vice President Jackie Clarkson calls the “ambassadors” of the city.

The council approved major updates to the city’s taxi fleet in April — new rules that require cabs to carry security cameras and GPs devices, as well as credit card machines — and cars used as taxis must be less than 11 years old.

Mayor Mitch Landrieu echoed those changes last month during a super Bowl progress report, while frustrated cab drivers blocked Poydras street in protest.

On Nov. 1, council members voted unanimously — amid jeers from cab drivers — to extend those new regulations to cabs picking up passengers at Louis Armstrong international Airport. The amended new rules mean that, because the airport supports the measure, Jefferson Parish and Kenner cabs can’t pick up from the airport going into New Orleans unless they also comply with the New Orleans rules, according to District A Councilwoman Susan Guidry.

Deputy Mayor Michelle Thomas said the extension will “broaden business opportunities” and ensure “visitors who come in will have a consistent experience” inside taxis going into and around New Orleans.

Council members read from a long list of supporters, including the New Orleans Aviation Board and GNO inc.

Representatives from the New Orleans Tourism Marketing Corporation, the New Orleans Business Alliance and the New Orleans Metropolitan Convention and visitors Bureau and others showed up to voice support.

Cabbies are demanding more time to comply. They have until next month to meet the new regulations.

Campbell wants lOwer phOne rates fOr prisOns when the Louisiana Public service Commission meets Nov. 15, Commissioner Foster Campbell plans to ask the panel to cut the rate prison telephone providers charge inmates. saying that the monopoly service charges inmates’ friends and families 30 cents per minute (15 times the market rate for calls), Campbell plans to ask the commission for a 25 percent reduction.

“These moves will provide relief to the families of Louisiana’s 40,000 inmates

in 170 state and local jails,” Campbell wrote in a statement, “the highest number of incarcerated people per capita in the world.” — KeviN ALLMAN

scuttlebits all the news that dOesn’t fit • After an early October debate was scheduled and then canceled under less-than-clear circumstances, U.s. Reps. Charles Boustany and Jeff Landry finally met for a verbal shootout on Halloween in the studios of Lafayette’s KPeL-FM. Lafayette’s Independent Monthly has, correctly, called it “a very ugly race.” The two candidates, who have run a heated campaign for Louisiana’s redrawn 3rd District, remained chippy, squabbling on air and calling each other liars. A day later, Scott McKay of the Baton Rouge political website The Hayride declared the match a draw, writing, “The debate was a reflection of the race as a whole.

Trench warfare. it wasn’t particularly enlightening or even entertaining.”

• Tulane University announced its new football stadium would be named Yulman stadium, in honor of Richard and Janet Yulman, who donated $15 million for the facility’s construction.

City and dOJ want mOre prOpOsals U.s. District Judge Susie Morgan last week allowed the City of New Orleans and the U.s. Department of Justice (DOJ) to extend until Nov. 16 the deadline for companies to bid on the multimillion-dollar contract to monitor the progress of the proposed New Orleans Police Department consent decree.

City Hall and the DOJ originally released a request for proposals (RFP) on sept. 6, setting an Oct. 5 deadline.

According to court filings, they were not satisfied with the responses.

Fifty-five pre-identified likely respondents were forwarded the RFP before the deadline, court filings show. Only four of those answered. The online news organization The Lens reported that, in all, seven companies applied for the contract.

According to the joint motion for extension, other groups that wished to apply were not aware of the RFP. “The Parties are concerned that there may be additional entities that may have applied but were unaware that the RFP had been issued,” the motion reads.

“This concern is bolstered by the fact the parties received only seven applications for Monitor, substantially fewer than have applied to other monitoring requests for proposals, including quite recent ones.”

The consent decree, which Morgan has not yet finalized, is expected to cost the city $55 million over four to five years.

Mayor Mitch Landrieu has set aside $2 million in his proposed 2013 city budget — of $7 million for all 2013 consent decree expenses — to pay a consent

decree monitor. City officials estimate that the monitor contract could be worth as much as $10 million over the life of the agreement.

politics

all Politics is national t’s been a truism for decades that Louisianans view federal elections about the same way we view elections in Europe. We know they’re important in the big scheme of things, but as far as most of us are concerned, they happen somewhere else. Louisiana seemed to embody Tip o’Neill’s old maxim that “All politics is local.”

The Internet and the current political climate are changing that, however. Consider u.s. sen. David Vitter’s successful campaign for re-election in 2010. Marred by a prostitution scandal, Vitter nonetheless coasted back into office by running not against his declared opponent, u.s. Rep. Charlie Melancon, but against President Barack obama. It wasn’t pretty, but Vitter’s strategy was very, very effective.

And this year, in countless local and regional races — from the hotly contested 3rd Congressional District race in Acadiana to local school board contests — the national elections loom large. Everything from turnout to party affiliation matters.

And in one local school board race (for District 3 in orleans Parish), one candi-

date has received thousands of dollars in “national” donations.

At the top of the ballot, GoP nominee Mitt Romney will easily carry Louisiana.

The only question is whether he’ll top John McCain’s 58.6 percent of the vote in 2008.

Put another way, can President obama crack 40 percent this time? (In 2008, he fell just short at 39.9 percent.)

While the Democratic ticket won’t come close to winning Louisiana’s eight electoral votes, the president’s presence on the ballot this Tuesday will drive black voter turnout across the state. That will have a huge impact on local elections. Conversely, his absence from the Dec. 8 runoff ballot will figure significantly in the outcomes of any elections that are not settled this week.

Another interesting twist on the national elections, one that has an intangible local connection, is the impact of Hurricane sandy on the presidential race.

Initially, I thought the storm would hurt obama’s chances because it hit coastal cities hardest — cities that are Democratic strongholds.

Now I’m not so sure.

If the race is as close as it was in 2000, we could see a second storm surge — of lawyers filing election contests.

The storm knocked out power to millions of citizens, and some precincts will have to rely on generators to open. To the extent that voters have been displaced or just had their worlds turned upside down (which could cause some to “forget” or otherwise fail to vote), the storm could still wreak havoc for one or both candidates. If the race is as close as it was in 2000, we could see a second storm surge — of lawyers filing election contests in states where the margin was small.

otherwise, the president generally has received high marks for his response to sandy, even from Republican New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie. (The glaring exception to those praising obama was former FEMA Director Michael “Heckuva job, Brownie” Brown, but you have to consider the source in his case.) We must note that obama was going to carry New Jersey anyway, by a wide margin, but Christie’s praise got lots of national play. so did New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s endorsement of obama. Bloomberg is a Republican-turned-Independent. obama also will carry New York easily, but that’s not the point. Praise from guys like Christie and Bloomberg could help the president in some of the hotly contested northern swing states — maybe even in hurricane-prone Florida, where Romney has led but where things tightened up in the final days. sandy won’t change any outcomes here, but the storm did reemphasize how vulnerable all Americans remain.

And all of this should remind us that all politics is now national.

Hey Blake,

When I was 5 years old, about 1940, I remember waiting for a Carnival parade by the French Market. A few years ago I asked my father the name of the parade, and he said it was the 3rd District Parade. What can you tell me about the history of the organization?

helen Elsenhorn, Audrey Arnold, and Almie hauser.

The organization also staged a ball the evening of Fat Tuesday in ’39 and ’40.

Like the first year, King Thirdist selected one of the young women to reign with him at the ball, which was preceded by a colorful tableau.

For Mardi Gras 1941 on Feb. 25, there was a change. King Thirdist was gone, and in his place was King Nemo —

Bruce Bordes Dear Bruce, The Third District Carnival Association presented its first parade on Mardi Gras, Feb. 21, 1939. The organization was formed by merging three Carnival organizations in the 3rd District: The 7th and 8th Ward Carnival Clubs and the Nemo Carnival Club of the 9th Ward. There were 10 floats in the parade, and the theme was “Wonders of Nature.”

Congressman Joachim Octave “Bathtub Joe” Fernandez was king, but there also were three queens representing each of the three wards in the district. Eunice Knop represented the 7th Ward, Ethel A. Smith the 8th Ward and Mildred Sutton the 9th Ward. As many as 105 maskers on floats and horseback also participated in the parade, which began at 2 p.m. so folks watching parades on Canal Street could get to the 3rd District in time for more floats.

In 1939, the group staged a parade that started at Poland and St. Claude avenues, proceeded on St. Claude Avenue to Esplanade Avenue and back to its point of origin. Reviewing stands were erected in each of the three wards.

That first year the organization spent more than $1,000 on each float with the intention of making their parade one of the featured attractions of the Carnival season. Robed in gold, King Thirdist occupied a throne set against a shell background. Clouds billowed over the back of the shell and formed a canopy over the royal chair. The king stopped at each reviewing stand to toast the queen of each ward.

When Mardi Gras 1940 rolled around, the 3rd District krewe staged an even larger parade with three more floats than the year before and a band leading each float. Riding on the throne as King Thirdist was Gerald L. Schoen. The queens representing each district were

Joachim Fernandez was nicknamed “Bathtub Joe” because he frequently avoided reporters by saying he was taking a bath.

Joseph Clesi Jr. — of the Nemo Carnival Club. And there was only one queen — Mercedes Fernandez, daughter of King Thirdist the First. The seven floats moved down St. Claude Avenue and other principal streets of the 3rd District.

Then the parading stopped. From 1942 through 1945, all Mardi Gras parades were canceled due to World War II. Even when the celebrations began anew in February 1946, the Third District Carnival Association decided not to put floats on the streets, and the group never paraded again.

Lack of talent, not effort

down in a key situation, or get that turnover that can turn a game around or, at worst, slow down the other team’s momentum. The New York Giants’ and Seattle Seahawks’ defensive linemen look like pro wrestlers. The Saints simply don’t have men of mass who can push their way to making impactful plays.

Too many times this season you see a Saints defender at the point of attack in position to make a play — and then he doesn’t. How about the times where the right defense is called upon, only to see a player whiff on a tackle. My goodness, how many times have we seen an opposing player gain yards after first contact?

Saints assistant head coach Joe Vitt and defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo said last week that effort wasn’t the issue; rather, it was poor angles, missed tackles and fundamentals. Why is that?

Some may say it’s due to lack of effort, lack of heart or players who just don’t care — but I say it’s lack of talent.

When a player or team has mailed in a gridiron performance, it’s pretty obvious. I just haven’t seen or sensed that inside the Saints locker room. Judging from players’ comments, they’re bewildered and embarrassed by what they haven’t been able to do.

I believe, as a whole, the Saints are trying — mainly because of the type of high-character men the organization has brought in. But it’s time to bring in another crop of young players in the 2013 offseason.

e just had one of those weeks when it comes to the New Orleans Saints. The team had a less-than-stellar performance in Denver Oct. 28 and the fan base openly questioned two of the worst things you can question in an athlete: effort and heart.

The Black and Gold faithful have seen a team they hoped would vie for a Super Bowl slot playing more like a team that was hoping it could make strides merely to reach the playoffs. Occasionally the offense shows signs of the group that set records only a season ago. As for the defense — well, that’s where the effort has been questioned by the Who Dats.

Heading into the Monday night game against the Philadelphia Eagles, the Saints defense is giving up an average of 304 yards per game — putting them 30th in the NFL. Opposing teams are averaging 170.1 yards on the ground — again, 30th in the NFL. Together, those stats rank the Saints defense dead last in the league.

In Denver, the defense gave up 530 yards of offense, with 225 of those yards coming via the Broncos’ running game.

The number of yards given up this season? A total of 3,323 yards, for an average of 474 yards per game.

I’m not ready to paint the defense as one that isn’t trying; as a unit, I think they are showing some effort. I think they simply aren’t very good. The defense lacks speed, playmakers and the ability to win one-on-one battles.

Twice during the last three weeks, the Saints have played in prime time, which allows you to watch the other games live during the day. It’s alarming how slow the Saints’ team speed is compared to many teams in the NFL. Opposing teams consistently catch the ball in space and runners hit full speed way too often once past the defensive line.

Among the Saints, there isn’t a player that can get that big sack, knock a pass

Religious protesters in the French Quarter.

Gros declines to discuss the local “aggressive solicitation” ordinance — “I was told by my attorneys not to address the litigation” — that has landed him in both the national news and federal court over the last few weeks.

The aggressive solicitation ordinance was introduced by District C City Councilwoman Kristin Gisleson Palmer, who represents the French Quarter; Palmer has described the law as “a public safety measure.” The ordinance makes it a crime “to loiter or congregate on Bourbon Street for the purpose of disseminating any social, political or religious message between the hours of sunset and sunrise.” Violation of the law is a misdemeanor punishable by up to six months in jail and $500 fine. (Gambit contacted Palmer’s office for comment; staffer Nicole Webre declined the request, citing “pending litigation.”)

Gros claims the ordinance imposes

an unconstitutional restriction on free speech. He is represented by attorneys from the Center for Religious Expression in Memphis, Tenn., and the Alliance Defending Freedom in Scottsdale, Ariz. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Louisiana also has taken up his cause.

Since 1987, Gros has been a frequent fixture in the 500 block of Bourbon Street, where he preaches his message with the assistance of a giant, rotating metallic cross featuring LED lights that flash gospel messages.

“I may have offended some people, and understandably so,” he says of his Bourbon Street efforts. “I’ve had plenty of run-ins over the years. People spit on you, throw drinks at you, try to knock my cross over. You really have to pray not to respond. I’ve not always liked my answers or the way I’ve responded to provocation, but I’ve always wanted to

the aggressive-solicitation ordinance to him from his smartphone. Gros and company left and were not arrested.

(NOPD declined to comment on this specific incident, though NOPD spokeswoman Remi A. Braden noted that police don’t write laws — merely enforce them.)

Less than four months later, another confrontation occurred during Southern Decadence — and this time, nine street preachers were arrested for violating the law. The Vieux Carre Assembly of God Church has for years served as a place for these preachers to rest and have refreshments during the event.

Following the arrests, Gros filed his lawsuit, naming Mayor Mitch Landrieu, NOPD Superintendent Ronal Serpas, and members of the New Orleans City Council as defendants.

Gros’ lawsuit was joined a day later by one filed by the ACLU of Louisiana representing another group, Raven Ministries. The two lawsuits were folded into one case, and on Sept. 21 U.S. District Court Judge Eldon Fallon issued a temporary restraining order blocking enforcement of the ordinance. Fallon scheduled an Oct. 1 hearing before U.S. District Court Judge Carl Barbier, which was canceled after a city attorney told the judge and parties that the City Council would amend the law.

Marjorie R. Esman, executive director of the ACLU of Louisiana, declined to comment on specifics related to the settlement negotiations. “It’s standard practice in cases like this,” Esman says of the ACLU of Louisiana’s lawsuit being combined with that of Gros. “You don’t want them heard by different judges giving conflicting opinions.”

Esman sees “no irony whatsoever” in the ACLU — which is often viewed as

do the right thing.”

Gros describes an incident several years ago that, he says, stemmed from a message on his illuminated cross: “Don’t gamble! Don’t gamble with your soul! The stakes are too high!”

“A well-dressed guy, looked Native American, came up to me one night and threw a drink on me,” Gros says. “‘I own two casinos!’ he yelled. He comes over and spits in my face. I hid behind the cross. He kept spitting in my face until his mouth was totally dry and he couldn’t spit no more. He left, but then came back 20 minutes later. He must’ve been saving up, as he spit a big wad in my eye.”

Impetus for the ordinance arose from French Quarter business owners. A key concern is the often-confrontational exchange during Southern Decadence between thousands of revelers here for the annual Labor Day weekend celebration of gay culture and the street preachers who show up to condemn the holiday — some of whom carry signs with slogans like “God Hates Homos.”

Robert Watters, owner of Rick’s Cabaret and president of the Bourbon Street Merchants Association, sought the aggressive-solicitation ordinance as a way to protect their customers from a variety of Bourbon Street characters, including Hare Krishnas, who seek to raise money through a “Party Patrol” that “fines” pedestrians in the French Quarter for violations ranging from having too much fun or being too beautiful. (Watters did not return a call for comment for this article.)

On May 15, Gros, his wife and two others were preaching on Bourbon Street when they were told by New Orleans police officers to stop or face arrest. Gros says that an officer read

liberal-leaning — representing a group with an overtly anti-gay message.

“The ACLU defends all manner of free speech,” she says. “I testified against [the aggressive-solicitation ordinance] when the City Council took it up. It is a clear violation of First Amendment rights to freedom of speech and freedom of religion.

When they made Bourbon Street a Constitution-free zone, the city made a mistake and they have recognized it.

“The ACLU makes a clear distinction in defending the right, not the message, in free speech,” Esman adds. “Nobody has the right to not be teased, to not have their feelings hurt.

But the speaker has the right to say what he wants.”

Gros’ childhood “was very dysfunctional,” he says. Tall and handsome with silver-fox hair above dark, thick eyebrows, Gros sits at his desk in his small office off the sanctuary, a computer behind him, a poster of Jesus behind his left shoulder, a print of Washington Crossing the Delaware to his right. He wears a white-and-blue Hawaiian shirt and blue jeans, and his voice is deep, marked with the distinct accent of the West Bank where he grew up.

He talks about his “strict Catholic” mother and a childhood spent bouncing between various family members’ homes. At age 14, he dropped out of school and left home.

He lied about his age when enlisting in the Army, he says, where he served for six peacetime years, coming in just after the end of the Korean War and leaving “two weeks before the Gulf of Tonkin” and the Vietnam War. “I was

planning on the Army as my career,” Gros says, “but the handwriting on the wall was my drinking … I had to leave the Army.

“But the Army gave me what I needed,” he continues. “I needed discipline; the Army gave me discipline.

I earned my GED in the Army.”

Gros returned home to Louisiana and began working in a chemical factory on the West Bank. A time of soul searching, he says, led him to “experiment with the paranormal.” He delved into automatic writing and Ouija boards; his first wife read tarot cards to children in their neighborhood. Gros then began exploring the idea of astral projection, or out-of-body experiences.

Through astral projection, Gros says, he found religion at age 30.

“I saw myself rising above my bed,” he recalls. “I saw my wife sleeping and saw my own body, curled up in the fetal position, scared, crouching. I kept rising up to the ceiling. I thought, ‘If I rise through this ceiling, I’m not ever coming back.’ Then I heard a deep voice say, ‘I will not forsake my children, my sheep.’

“It wasn’t so much like I was hearing these words, but like they were reverberating inside of me, deep inside of me, like the plucking of sacred strings inside my being. And I thought, ‘God? Is that you, God? Are you speaking to me?’ Then — I don’t know if Satan surfaced, or what — but suddenly I was wrestling something, my hands fighting something. But God intervened and I came back into my body. I awoke, weeping like a baby. My wife told me that I was just having a bad dream.”

Five years later, Gros says, his

marriage ended. The divorce “sent me over the deep end,” he says, and his alcoholism took full control over his life.

“I tried AA [Alcoholics Anonymous], I tried everything,” he says. “But nothing could stop me from drinking until I surrendered myself to Jesus Christ.”

After becoming a Christian at age 35, Gros devoted himself to a street ministry at Camp and Julia streets when the Warehouse District was still Skid Row. He became involved in evangelical efforts in Mexico, making 40 trips to preach the Gospel and convert souls. Gros says he was particularly successful sharing his message when he screened the film The Life of Jesus, which he would project onto large screens in town plazas and, he says, attract hundreds of viewers.

“But then, they passed a law like they just did in New Orleans — no evangelism,” Gros says. “They wouldn’t even let the Catholics out on the streets.”

The Double Play bar is next door to the Vieux Carre Assembly of God Church.

Its sign promoting a Monday night special of $5 pitchers of draft beer asks, “Are you a pitcher or a catcher?”

— with graphics that clearly do not refer to baseball. Manager Will Antill is tending bar. He says he’s well aware of Gros’ lawsuit.

“He’s always been very nice, very polite to me,” Antill says of Gros. He describes his mid-afternoon drinking crowd as “100 percent gay,” adding that straight men and women come in to watch Saints football on Sundays.

“We don’t have any interaction with

[Gros], to be honest, except when dealing with the building, an electrical problem or something, as we have the same landlord.

“During [Hurricane] Isaac, I came to him and his wife and asked them if they needed anything,” Antill says. “He said they needed some ice, so I let them come over and get ice.”

“That was pretty nice of him to offer us ice,” Gros recalls. “In the immediate neighborhood, we get along with everybody fine. It’s a ‘hi and bye’ relationship. Not adversarial. People are who they are. I don’t look at people, at gays, like that. If anything, in relation to the homosexual community, I wish I was more effective in reaching them.

“Look, God’s there in the French Quarter to help everyone, no matter what walk of life they come from.”

There are 222 active Assembly of God churches in Louisiana (Jimmy Swaggart attended one with his family as a child in Ferriday). Founded in 1914 in Hot Springs, Ark., today the Assembly of God boasts more than 3 million members in 12,500 churches in the United States and more than 3.5 million members worldwide — numbers that establish the Assembly of God as the world’s largest Pentecostal denomination.

(Pentecostal churches are largely characterized by an emphasis on a post-conversion encounter with God through an experience referred to as a baptism by the Holy Spirit.)

is disobedient to scriptural teachings.” This proclamation begins by stating: “Increasing political and religious advocacy for homosexuality has prompted us to restate our position on this critical issue. … This reaffirmation of truth has become all the more urgent because writers sympathetic to the homosexual community have advanced revisionist history interpretations of relevant Biblical texts that are based upon biased exegesis and misinformation.”

Gros decided upon returning home from Mexico in 2009 that he had made his last trip and looked for his life’s next direction. “I prayed and asked God, ‘Please do with me what you will, Lord,’” Gros recalls.

A fellow recovering alcoholic, Pastor Gregory Pembo (formerly a liquor store owner in the French Quarter) was the first pastor of the Vieux Carre Assembly of God. While the building was initially used as a place to offer coffee, a bathroom and other hospitable gestures to those encountered on French Quarter streets, the building soon began holding worship services in the space.

In 2002, Pembo filed a lawsuit against the City of New Orleans challenging its recognition of domestic

We Care…

partnerships in employee benefit packages, saying his litigation sought to stop a “domino effect” of social deterioration. In 2009, a state appeals panel upheld the city’s domestic-partner policy. That same year, Pembo suffered a brain aneurysm while dining with friends at Deanie’s Seafood. Though Gros recalls Pembo “wore a smile on his face” as he was taken from the restaurant and into an ambulance, he was in a coma by the time he reached University Hospital and later died. Gros then took over as pastor at the church.

Sunday services with Gros begin at 10:30 a.m. That’s roughly five hours after pimps and prostitutes flee sunrise in an area of the French Quarter that often operates as a de facto Storyville. It’s an hour when straight women sip eye-opener mimosas at the Good Friends Bar, a block away, where rainbow flags fly year-round from the cast-iron balcony. It’s also the same time services start a block downriver at the Vieux Carre Baptist Church, generally known among Quarter residents as a liberalleaning, inclusive church. A sign posted on the Baptist Church’s front door features a large megaphone, often used by street preachers and a flashpoint for all sides of the aggressive-solicitation ordinance. Under the megaphone, it reads: “Jesus never had a conversation with anyone with one of these. What makes you think you

will? Go home and try it on your neighbors, coworkers and friends.”

Inside the Assemblies of God, 10 worshippers sit scattered on five rows of wooden pews in two columns, under two ceiling fans, in a room with two columns, three rows of hanging ceiling lights, half of which have burned-out bulbs. The group includes several natives, a young man from Albuquerque whose father was a missionary and a woman from San Francisco that’s long called New Orleans home.

An elderly couple is visiting from the Black Hills of South Dakota, the husband’s smartphone interrupting the church’s quiet with audible chatter about the day’s NFL action.

Gros’ sermon is as stream-of-conscious as his prayer from the preceding Wednesday. He hopes the service “will strike your heart and help you” as he explains to those in attendance that he’s going to take them “to a fiery furnace — the Book of Daniel.” Speaking in front of a wooden pulpit that sits on a raised stage before a wall of purple velour curtains, Gros regularly interjects “Amen” and “Hallelujah” into his remarks, which includes these notions: “Homosexuals going into the schools, teaching their homosexual agenda ...”

“We have to go through the fire, we have to go through the storm ...”

“Preaching on the street is the only way to preach it to those that need it ...”

“This country couldn’t even nominate a Christian to run for president. We have a Mormon … and the other guy is in question.”

Later Gros adds he’s switched to eating only organic food — “You’ll find me and my wife shopping at the Whole Foods on Saturdays” — since he was diagnosed with liver cancer. He finishes the service by simply saying “I love you” before shutting off the microphone.

Absence from the following Wednesday evening prayer merits a phone call from Gros. “This is Brother Paul,” he says on the voicemail before ending it, “May God bless you.

See you Sunday.”

The next Thursday morning, Gros answers his cellphone at his home on the West Bank, where he and Meriya will be hosting friends for dinner later that evening. He says he doesn’t make it across the river to church very often anymore. “Not since I got sick,” he says, referring to his liver cancer.

Doctors told Gros there was too much cirrhosis for chemotherapy or radiation. Surgery removed a portion of Gros’ liver. “I’m here, ya know?” Gros says. “So, it was successful. I was fortunate in that the cancer was concentrated in a good place on my liver, on a skinny tip off the end, so they were able to remove the cancer without taking too much of my liver.

“Any time you want to talk, we can talk, ya know,” he says.

“I just pray that everything works out for you.”

wHat &

How

Prepare noodles according to package directions, but reduce cook time by 2 minutes.

Drain, but do not rinse, and set aside.

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Combine ashwagandha root, linden and hawthorne berry with diet soda and 1/4 cup light beer. Bake sweet potato, uncovered, until skin becomes brittle and insides become tender, about 35 minutes. Allow herb mixture to steep while potato bakes.

Remove potato from oven and set aside.

Pour herb mixture into a saucepan over medium heat until the liquid almost evaporates, about 15 minutes. Add broth, vinegar, cinnamon, chili powder, garlic and onion powder and thyme. Cook over low heat; add water if the mixture evaporates too quickly.

In a separate saucepan, add olive oil and heat on medium-high until simmering and just smoking. Add mushrooms and toss to sear all sides. Reduce heat to low, add the remaining 1/4 cup beer, add yellow pepper and simmer.

Pour herb sauce through a strainer. Add strained liquid to the mushrooms in the saucepan. Add pasta and toss to combine ingredients and allow sauce to adhere to pasta.

If the mixture does not thicken, add a slurry of 1/8 teaspoon whole wheat flour and a teaspoon of water. The pasta will finish cooking at this time.

Cut the sweet potato in half. Spoon out the sweet potatoe meat and form into balls almost the size of golf balls. Toss half the sweet potato balls with chili powder.

To serve, divide pasta mixture onto plates and garnish with equal portions chili-dusted sweet potato and plain sweet potato.

oil herb combinations in five cups of water until it cooks down to one cup and drink it: Cooks call this both a reduction or hot infusion, and medical herbalists call it treatment. The only difference is context.

“People call it ‘tea,’ but it’s more like a concoction,” says Dr. Kam Lam, who is licensed in both Eastern and Western medicine and owns Acupuncture and Herbal Centers in Metairie and Mandeville. “People have a different idea when you say ‘tea.’”

I experimented with a combination of the two, cooking a tasty dish using medicinal herbs, and found the best of both worlds: a great recipe and an excellent chill-out alternative to chamomile tea.

A word of caution: Because federal law does not recognize herbs as medicine, herbalists cannot claim to “cure” anything, says Wendy Hounsel, a registered nurse at East Jefferson General Hospital who also is a trained herbalist.

“As herbalists, we do not treat or diagnose,” she says. “Those words are the domain of the medical world. And that’s OK; that’s not what we do. We support the structure and function of the entire body.”

Lam and Hounsel illustrate different approaches to herbalism. Traditional Chinese Medicine, which Lam practices, aims to strengthen the entire body as opposed to targeting a specific problem. Herbs are used for detoxification and to correct imbalances in body moisture and body heat. Hounsel has studied the largely folkloric herbal traditions in Western medicine, which is harder to document and track. She co-owns Maypop Community Herb Shop, which carries roughly 50 herbs ranging from conventional to those used in Indian and Chinese traditions; Lam’s Metairie shop has more than 400 herbs used in traditional Chinese medicine but almost unheard of in any other context.

The history, methods and herb selection of the Eastern and Western approaches differ, but there are similarities: Both use medicinal herbs in specific combinations to aid health problems. Both East and West believe in improving overall health to minimize

Under-discUssed and often Unnoticed, testicUlar cancer affects thoUsands of yoUng men every year. By Katie Kidder crosBie

i

n October 2011, Jason Lacoste was 30 years old, married, raising two young daughters and totally unprepared for what was to come. While driving to work one day, he felt a sudden pain in his groin. “I was surprised, but I didn’t really think too much of it,” Lacoste says. “Then it happened again when I was driving on the interstate, and I thought, ‘OK, something is not right here.’” Two weeks later, he received a cancer diagnosis.

Most men diagnosed with testicular cancer don’t feel any pain at all. A painless lump in the testes is usually the only sign. In that respect, Lacoste was lucky. Had it not been for the brief pain he’d felt, he may never have noticed the hard lump in his right testicle. Like most testicular cancer patients, he had no other symptoms. “The pain was so slight it would be as if someone pinched you,” he says. “That was it.”

Lacoste’s wife Lori encouraged him to schedule an appointment with East Jefferson General Hospital (EJGH) urologist Dr. Sean Collins, the physician who had treated her for kidney stones during her most recent pregnancy. Still relatively unconcerned, Lacoste thought he’d see Collins and be back at work within a couple of hours. But Collins found the lump right away, and Lacoste instead embarked on what would be a yearlong battle with testicular cancer.

“I sent [Lacoste] directly down to imaging so he could get an ultrasound,” Collins says. “The ultrasound revealed a mass, about 1.6 centimeters, and three smaller ones. At that point, I had to tell him he had cancer and he would need to have surgery as soon as possible. It all happened very fast.” That was a Thursday. On the following Monday, Collins removed Lacoste’s entire right testicle.

Testicular cancer is separated into two groups: seminoma and nonseminoma. Seminomas tend to be less aggressive and easier to treat than non-seminomas, but doctors can’t determine the type until after the testicle is removed. Typically, any hard lump found in the testicles indicates cancer.

Because there are no medical screenings for testicular cancer (like mammography for breast cancer or PSA testing for prostate cancer), tumors often are found by self-examination or by the patient’s spouse or partner.

When an ultrasound confirms a mass, surgical removal of the entire testicle is almost always recommended.

While surgery does not always have long-term fertility consequences, it can cause semen to be expelled into the

bladder instead of through the penis.

In addition, radiation, chemotherapy, and the cancer itself potentially can affect sperm quality. According to the American Cancer Society, approximately 8,600 new cases of testicular cancer will be diagnosed in 2012, affecting mostly young men ages 20-34. Because so many testicular cancer patients are young men, a wait-and-see approach is sometimes an alternative, depending on the type of cancer and the patient’s desire for children.

Before surgery, Lacoste received a CAT scan, chest X-ray and blood work to determine whether the cancer had spread to his lymph nodes. Following the test, Collins called Lacoste to tell him the prognosis looked good. It appeared that Lacoste’s cancer was localized in the testicle and had not spread to other parts of his body.

The surgery was successful, and they scheduled a follow-up visit to go over the pathology report and see how Lacoste was healing.

“I felt confident that they got it and everything was gone,” Lacoste says.

Unfortunately, the pathology report showed that he had high-risk, stage IB embryonal carcinoma of the testes with cancer cells outside the tumor. The cancer could have entered his blood stream and not yet accumulated enough to show up in his blood work. “Of the non-seminomas, embryonal testicular cancer tends to be more likely to recur,” Collins says.

“If someone has a large amount of embryonal, they need treatment with surgery to remove the lymph nodes or chemotherapy because of the high risk of recurrence.”

In the past, the next step would be a retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (RPLND) — another major surgery. But before scheduling anything, Collins suggested they consult the latest guidelines of the MD Anderson Cancer Center, a resource available only to MD Anderson Affiliate hospitals. Because there are many forms of testicular cancer, the differences in treatments can be great. For Lacoste, the most up-to-date recommendation was chemotherapy. Surveillance was another option.

“I asked Dr. Collins, ‘What are my chances of this coming back if I don’t go through chemotherapy?’ He said, ‘Fifty percent,’” Lacoste says. “I asked, ‘What if I do [undergo chermotherapy]?’ He said, ‘Approximately 2 percent.’ So I said, ‘Sign me up for the chemotherapy.’”

Lacoste was treated by EJGH oncologist Dr. Laura Brinz and received a strong round of chemotherapy infusions. In the following months, he had good days and bad days. He lost his energy and his hair and often was confined to his home. But he got better.

“I guess I’ve always been a fighter,” Lacoste says. “I was born almost three months premature. The doctors told my parents, ‘You’d better spend as much time with him as you can.’ I wasn’t supposed to make it.”

Lacoste is cancer-free now and grateful for any opportunity to educate young men about a dangerously under-discussed disease. “It’s not the kind of thing a young guy or even a lot of men want to talk about,” he says. “I hope that by talking about what happened to me, I can help to make more people aware of the disease.”

specific health issues.

Food’s role in medical treatment is just as open to interpretation.

Hounsel finds many similarities between a creative chef and a committed herbalist. “Herbalism is a lot like cooking,” she says. “A little bit like food, not as strong as medicine — it’s the best of both worlds.”

Some items, like the root San Qi, can be used singularly for pain relief, Lam says. I ground the root like a cinnamon stick, dusted it on goat cheese and baked it on roasted almonds and discovered a beautiful licorice note, along with some relief for my foot pain. However, Chinese medical herbs can prove toxic in improper amounts or without specific preparation, Lam says, so only the most knowledgeable or daring chefs should attempt this.

Michael Doyle, executive chef of Maurepas Foods in the Bywater, is one such boundary-pusher. Almost every item on his rotating, bistrostyle menu employs herbs to add surprising twists to dishes.

Doyle generally follows a seasonal rule: If an herb and a produce are in season together, they usually yield a palate-pleasing effect when combined. That’s how he came to pair cucumbers with chile-cured radish, shiso paste and a garlic vinaigrette on his most recent menu.

You also can smell herbs to suss out which combinations are the best. This is usually a fail-secure cooking method, Doyle says.

“Generally speaking, there’s a really high correspondence between smell and taste, just like anything else,” Doyle says. “You can trust it with a lot of herbs.”

Doyle’s go-to methods for spotlighting herbal flavors include vinaigrettes, purees or fast infusions in oil — which brings us back to tea, an overlooked infusion method. I turned the idea of healing teas, health food and Eastmeets-West on its ear for the Slumbering Warrior recipe. Hounsel says the combination of ashwagandha root, linden and dried hawthorn berries aids insomniacs and those with high blood pressure, making this dish a natural sedative.

Combined with diet soda and light beer instead of water, folded into a hearty mushroom pasta dish (emphasis on mushrooms, not noodles) and garnished with spiced sweet potato quenelles, this meal provides a cold fall night alternative to hot tea and offers flavors that are at once comforting and provocative.

Products are available online and at Spa Isbell (1245 Magazine St., 504595-5009; www.spa-isbell.com) and Make Me Up (3426 Magazine St., 504891-9688; www.makemeupnola.com).

Individual items cost $14 to $22, and there are five- and seven-piece gift sets.

Research has long indicated that a particular scent can evoke a vivid memory, and NOLA Bodycare has staked its claim on the phenomenon, creating a memory-in-a-bottle experience. “Our fragrances are not simple, single fragrances,” Gagne says. “They reflect the complexities of people’s daily lives.”

our years ago, Stanfordeducated chemist Robert Gagne and New Orleans native Toni Taglialavore launched a line of New Orleans-themed candles. Today, their company, NOLA Bodycare (5733 Heebe St., Harahan, 504-733-8402; www.nolabodycare.com), focuses on skin-nourishing products that reflect the essence of New Orleans.

“Last year, NOLA Bodycare made a transition from focusing on candles to a broader focus on body care, where we saw greater need and opportunity,” says Gagne, who holds a doctorate in chemistry and has expertise in composing fragrances. “Our new fragrances truly reflect the unique New Orleans culture.”

NOLA Bodycare products are skincare formulations with high-quality ingredients, luxurious textures and noticeable benefits. Marketed to locals and tourists under the slogan “share the gift of NOLA,” the products are intended to evoke the experience of New Orleans. Mardi Gras-inspired packaging in metallic purple, green and gold imbues each product with the spirit and fun associated with the Big Easy.

NOLA Bodycare offers four products: an aloe vera-infused body gel, a creamy body souffle, a cleansing sugar scrub and an exfoliating body bar with bamboo pumice. Each is available in three

‘Whole animal’ butcher shop

Travel around the south louisiana countryside and you’ll find a lot of snackready boudin and see a lot of small, family-run farms. Now, there’s an outpost for both of them in Uptown.

The new butcher shop Cleaver & Co. (3917 Baronne St., (504) 2273830; www.cleaverand.co) offers an inventory of meats procured from small farms and ranches around the region, a selection of charcuterie made just behind the counter and hot boudin ready to eat on the spot.

Cleaver & Co. is a locally grown, whole-animal butcher shop developed by recent Tulane MBA grads Simone Reggie and Seth Hamstead. reggie, a lafayette native, said she was inspired to start the business after joining the Eat local Challenge, which asks participants to spend a month eating only foods produced close to home. Seafood and many vegetables were easy to find, but sourcing local meat was difficult.

T

hough it opened in July, little about Annunciation seems like a new restaurant.

Not the space itself, a mix of bare brick and white plaster, candle-watt lighting, bentwood chairs and crisp tablecloths. Not the food, a rendition of French-Creole cuisine nudged gently toward the contemporary. And certainly not the crowd, which appeared in droves the moment Annunciation opened for business and interact with the effusive maitre d’ as if they’ve been coming here for decades.

This new Warehouse District restaurant seems familiar because prior to opening Annunciation, chef and co-owner Steven Manning was the chef at Clancy’s for two extended hitches totaling more than 20 years. So it’s not surprising that his own restaurant is essentially based on Clancy’s, albeit a looser, downtown version of that Uptown Creole stalwart.

Manning transferred some of his Clancy’s dishes to his new menu, most significantly the fried oysters with spinach and Brie.

The melted cheese oozes out from its rinds to glaze the oysters and pool between them, and if it weren’t already so familiar this irresistible appetizer would probably count as the most innovative dish at Annunciation.

There are a few discreet tweaks on the menu, including sides of bok choy and curry-scented cabbage, a bit of foie gras for the scallops and coconut milk escorting the nicely bronze-colored drum. But the main story at Annunciation remains Creole flavors prepared by a restrained hand.

WinE OF THE week

2011 Domaine du Poujol Rosé Pays de l’Hérault, France $14

You can turn back the clock with a dinner of turtle soup, shrimp etouffee and bread pudding without feeling conspicuously retro. I’m more inclined to start with a crabmeat salad, the huge lumps topped with a Green Goddess-style dressing thick with herbs but lightly applied. Then it’s on to the oysters Bordelaise — if only to marvel at how fried oysters can stay crisp after being incorporated into an oily pile of spaghetti, garlic and parsley — or maybe the chicken bonne femme. That name translates to “good wife,” which generally implies country-style cooking and never seems to produce the same dish in any two restaurants. From Manning’s kitchen it is a soft-spoken showstopper, a juicy half bird, sauteed crisp and sitting atop a smoky, woodsy potato hash with pan gravy.

The approach is straightforward, but there’s little cover when things go wrong. A homely pile of seafood risotto, for instance, contained lobster, shrimp and crabmeat but not much flavor and even less creaminess. The veal dishes, although traditionally prepared, are underwhelming.

While Annunciation has plenty of high-end restaurant company in its neighborhood, during the day it turns into something else, serving fast, bargain lunch plates for about $10. The baked fish, a great, plump length of speckled trout over oyster dressing when I tried it, wore little more than lemon and was a highly satisfying balance of elegant simplicity and local flavor. In a way, that sounds like Annunciation all over.

located just northwest of Montpellier, the domaine is situated midway between pic Saint-loup and Ste. Georges d’Orques in the languedoc region in southern France. A blend of 30 percent each Cinsault, Carignan and Grenache with 10 percent Mourvedre, most of the wine was fermented in stainless steel temperaturecontrolled tanks, while a small portion was barrel-fermented to add structure and weight.

In the glass, this fresh, crisp wine delivers aromas of bright red fruits, citrus, white pepper, thyme and a hint of spice. On the palate, concentrated flavors of strawberry, watermelon, herbs, a bracing minerality and zingy acidity lead to a most satisfying finish. Drink now and over the next two years.

Serve chilled. Impressive as a bone-dry aperitif but with enough body and intensity to complement a wide range of foods, including barbecue, roast fowl or game, cassoulet, ratatouille, fruit pies and soft to medium firm cheeses. Buy it at: Martin Wine Cellars. Drink it at: Clancy’s.

interview At their shop, meat is cut to order at the counter, and it comes with a primer on its origins if customers are interested.

“We’ve been visiting the farms and ranches we use, so we’ll be able to tell you exactly where the cow came from, how it was raised, who the farmers were,” Reggie says. “We’re able to do that for all of the animals.”

That pitch seems to have struck a chord. Customers filled the shop on opening day as butchers cut ribs, bound roasts with string, wrapped up beef hearts and tongue or pork belly and trotters, and gave advice on cooking whole chickens. They also dished out boudin, mortadella, cotto salami and head cheese. The head butcher is Kris Doll, who was the salumi maker for Butcher and a Mano, and all of the butchers here come from a restaurant background.

“There are so many more options out there than what people are used to, and that can be a little intimidating for some people, like how do you cook this or that,” Reggie says. “That’s where having our guys coming from a culinary background is helpful. They’re able to educate people about what they’re buying and how to use it.”

Lamb, goat and other meats may be available soon, and Cleaver & Co. is taking holiday orders for “heritage turkeys.” The shop is open Wednesday through Monday.

Treme Creole Gumbo Festival

FIVE FIxEs FOr kalE

O w n er O f L I L’ D IZ Z Y’ S C A fe

a

t the original Li’l Dizzy’s Cafe (1500 Esplanade Ave., 569-8997), Wayne Baquet carries on a family restaurant tradition that stretches back to 1947 and an eatery called Paul Gross Chicken Coop. His parents later opened Eddie’s, and that 7th Ward restaurant grew into a Creole food legend before closing in the 1990s. Baquet has operated several restaurants across the city since then and he opened Li’l Dizzy’s in 2005. He’ll be serving his signature gumbo and other dishes at the Treme Creole Gumbo Festival (www. jazzandheritage.org/treme-gumbo/).

What’s the evolution of your gumbo?

Baquet: We have a Creole gumbo: hot sausage that we make ourselves, smoked sausage, crab, shrimp, chicken, all of that goes into the gumbo. It’s a recipe that’s been in my family since the 1950s, then my dad took it to the next level by coming up with a way to make the roux in advance to keep it more consistent with different cooks and at different restaurants. We have someone now, Tina Cockerham, she’s been with us for 35 years and she’s in charge of the roux, that’s her thing.

Why do you think gumbo is so evocative of New Orleans?

B: It’s the original Creole dish of New Orleans. It was a poor man’s dish back in the day. You’d take scraps, you’d take seafood you caught yourself and you made something delicious from it. It’s African, from an African word for “okra,” but it’s also French and it’s Indian too, and that’s the melting pot they talk about.

Is it hard to find good gumbo outside Louisiana?

B: I’ll be honest with you, I definitely haven’t found good gumbo outside Louisiana, but it’s hard to find what I’d call great gumbo even in New Orleans. Too many restaurants want to fiddle with it and make it into a soup or a gravy. It’s supposed to be a certain way. Now, my mother’s gumbo doesn’t taste like my wife’s gumbo, and her gumbo doesn’t taste like my dad’s gumbo, but they all taste good and they all taste like gumbo. You put your stamp on it, but you can’t change it up too much, and you have to use the right ingredients. You don’t fiddle with gumbo. — IAN MCNULTY

a bar breakfast, delivered

If you stayed too late at a bar last night, the prospect of having someone deliver hot coffee and homemade English muffins stuffed with ham, cheese and eggs might sound great. Having someone deliver it until the scandalous hour of 2 p.m. may sound better. And having that same someone deliver it from a bar might sound cosmically correct.

That’s all part of the food program at the Holy Ground, a Mid-City pub where a small kitchen now doubles as Wakin’ Bakin’ (3340 Canal St., 504-252-0343) in the mornings and Edible Alchemy

(same contact info) from lunch through late-night. Both are open every day except Tuesday.

Conrad Chura and Zak Pizzeck run Wakin’ Bakin’, which from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. serves a breakfast menu including quiche, oatmeal and “pancrepes and wings,” a riff on chicken and waffles made with a pancake-crepe hybrid.

They deliver breakfast in the Mid-City and Faubourg St. John neighborhoods.

Thomas Mack, a restaurant industry veteran who’s worked at fine dining spots around town, runs the separate but closely entwined Edible Alchemy.

His menu, served from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. (delivery available from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.) includes sandwiches and bar snacks, but it is elevated at least one rung above normal pub grub. Meat for the turkey po-boy is roasted in house, patties combining beef and chorizo and the house-made black bean burgers are served on buns baked in house and fried Brie croutons might top the weekly salad. On Fridays, the kitchen also makes fish and chips.

Trends, notes, quirks and quotes from the world of food. “(I)t remains true that Bourdain’s approach to food is more than an ugly one — it’s a destructive one too. It forsakes gentleness for machismo, balance for bluster. He has spawned an ethic, in the kitchen and in life, that poses as brave, but is really nothing more than the emotional equivalent of a keg stand, or maybe just a fear of being plain.”

— from a screed in The new Yorker by writer and chef Tamar Adler about writer and chef Anthony Bourdain. Adler concludes that Bourdain has “left a crude hickey on this country’s food culture.”

First you make a roux, but from there opinions on how to make a great gumbo vary widely from one New Orleans kitchen and cook to another. This weekend, Nov. 10-11, you’ll be able to sample six standout renditions of the city’s iconic dish at the Treme Creole Gumbo Festival, which is one of the free, neighborhood festivals put on by the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Foundation.

The gumbo festival, started in 2009, seems poised for a breakout this year. It has a new venue in Congo Square at Louis Armstrong Park (901 N. Rampart St.), and the music lineup features 10 brass bands including the Dirty Dozen, Soul Rebels and Hot 8. And then there’s the food.

“We have learned over the years that New Orleanians love their music, but they’re really passionate about their food,” says foundation spokesman Scott Aiges.

“With that in mind, for all of our festivals we try to put a really high emphasis on the food and represent that aspect of the culture we’re showcasing.”

Six vendors will serve a different gumbo along with other dishes. They include Li’l Dizzy’s Cafe, NOLA Foods, Brocato’s Eat Dat, a well-hidden eatery in New Orleans East, Olivier’s Creole Restaurant, Ms. Linda’s Creole Catering and its namesake, Linda Green (aka “the Ya-Ka-Mein Lady”), who has for many years served food at second lines and more recently made appearances on national

Five-Night Stand-up National comics and local talents perform.

By Brad Rhines

C

“I’m not a serious guy,” he admits. “I’m just a dorky knucklehead. I like to have fun and goof around.”

Hell Yes Fest gives Greco a chance to show off his fun-loving side Saturday at The New Movement theater when he hosts The Megaphone Show, a house staple that involves a special guest sharing stories that inspire improv scenes.

“Knowing New Orleans and knowing these cats, this could be a ‘perfect storm’ situation,” Greco says. “Who knows what could happen, but I’m sure it’s going to be a blast.”

D.C. Pierson headlines the Wednesday standup show at The Republic. Pierson is a member of the New York sketch comedy group Derrick Comedy, along with Donald Glover from the NBC sitcom Community. He worked in New Orleans last year as co-producer of the MTV movie Worst. Prom. Ever. His stand-up is influenced by his sketch work, and he says the format allows him to connect better with audiences.

“Feeling that moment where they’re with you, it’s a very unifying, fun experience that you wouldn’t necessarily get in other art forms,” he says. “It’s fun to have that very direct interplay with an audience for half an hour or an hour.”

Friday and Saturday night, The New Movement features some homegrown talent at two Hell Yes Homecoming shows, both headlined by Theo Von, a Mandeville native who appeared on MTV’s Road Rules and NBC’s Last Comic Standing. The opening acts include local comics and comics who recently left the state to pursue comedy (“which, for the record, I don’t approve of, but I understand,” Trew says) and comics who have returned home to join the growing New Orleans scene.

Also on this weekend’s bill Joey Greco of the TV show are two shows that first took Cheaters is a guest speaker shape at New Movement’s at Hell Yes Fest.

New Orleans theater. Shipwrecked! and You Don’t Know Hell Yes Fest The Half Of It were conceived NOV

by New Movement performers Various and have evolved into polished THRu venues shows. Shipwrecked! includes NOV www.hellyesfest.com a rotating cast of guest storytellers sharing personal stories based on a central theme, and You Don’t Know The Half Of It puts scripted actors onstage with improv performers to create unexpected scenes. Holmes and Trew also are featured Shipwrecked! storytellers.

Comics from the theater’s Austin satellite get a chance to shine at the Austin Invasion show Friday at Cafe Istanbul. “It’s a show that people should go to knowing that some of these people are going to make it pretty big within a couple of years,” Trew says.

Organizers expect bigger crowds but there also are agents and managers in search of new talent.

But Holmes admits the trip to New Orleans won’t be all business.

“We’re hoping to hold it together and act like grownups until we’re finished with the show,” he says. “And then all bets are off.”

omedian Dave Holmes knows what to expect from a weekend in New Orleans. The Los Angeles-based performer has spent time here as a tourist, as a friend of locals, and most recently as an actor in the upcoming horror comedy Hell Baby, written and directed by Thomas Lennon and Robert Ben Garant from Reno 911!

“I’ve been down a number of times and always had a good time, always had a couple of regrets,” Holmes says. “Every time I’ve been there, I walk outside at 10 in the morning intending to go for a jog and somebody puts a Bloody Mary in my hand.”

Holmes returns with his improv group iO West to New Orleans as a headliner at Hell Yes Fest, a five-night comedy festival featuring national performers and local talent. The event was founded last year by comedian Chris Trew from The New Movement, a comedy theater with outposts in Austin, Texas, and New Orleans. This year’s fest brings even more acts to more venues around the city.

Holmes got his start on MTV in the late ’90s, has appeared on VH1 and hosts FX’s DVD on TV. On Friday, he co-hosts the Friday Forty show at Cafe Istanbul along with Scott Gimple, a writer and producer for AMC’s The Walking Dead.

Holmes describes Friday Forty as a “sketch comedy, current affairs, drinking game show” in which contestants answer questions while drinking 40-ounce bottles of beer.

Holmes and Gimple also perform in the iO West All-Stars show Saturday at the Shadowbox Theatre.

“We just want to stay sober until the show is over,” Holmes says. “Honestly, that’s the No. 1 concern.”

Also appearing at Hell Yes Fest is Joey Greco, the former host of Cheaters, a hidden-camera show that purports to show people catching unfaithful partners. Greco delivers the keynote address during Wednesday night’s opening ceremonies at The Republic. Given his work on Cheaters, people may be surprised to see Greco involved in comedy, but he got to know Trew after acting in the Studio 8 short film The House That Drips Blood on Alex, which aired on Comedy Central.

never had the time or inclination to drive to manchester, tenn. to spend a long weekend overdos ing on music (among other things) with the unwashed masses? now bonnaroo comes to you. in 2011, the rural festival launched its 365 buzz tour, a sort of “bonnaroo across america” road show where the summertime high of mancunian rocky top doesn’t stop. this fall’s selections, quartets white Denim (who debuted to raves in June with a dusky, sun-dunking first-day set) and maps & atlases (pictured), are bonnaroo through and through: rambunctious and uncombed, dazzling and dazing. white Denim, from austin, texas, weaves together muscled southern grooves and jammy group solos on 2011’s D (Downtown). maps & atlases finally stopped showing its work on 2010’s delightful Perch Patchwork; with the april release Beware and Be Grateful (barsuk), the Chicago band forgets the dead language of math rock, turning in a beguiling document of love and detached loss. opening tandem “old & gray” and “fever” untie the time-signature knots and play cat’s cradle with the heartstrings, Dave Davison strangling a relationship obituary from his Dirty projected voice and deviling in the details (“somewhere there’s an orange on the table, somewhere there’s a robe on the floor/ and our writing on the wall is under three coats of paint in an apartment we don’t live in anymore”).

GAMBIT > BESTOFNEWORLEANS.COM > NOVEMBER 6 > 2012

there’s never been another film series like that of fictional secret agent James Bond, at least in terms of sheer numbers and longevity. twelve Bond novels and two short-story collections written by British author Ian Fleming in the 1950s and early ’60s have inspired 23 feature films over 50 years from the small Eon Productions studio, plus two additional movies produced elsewhere. there’s no question Bond has had his ups and downs — especially in recent times — leading to understandably low expectations among legions of 007 fans. Gadgets, girls, wry humor, exotic locales, splashy villains — can it really be so hard to make a good Bond movie?

You wouldn’t think so after seeing Skyfall, the most enjoyable Bond film in decades and one of the strongest entries in the entire Bond series. Still controlled by the heirs of co-founder Albert Broccoli, Eon Productions hasn’t always been known for hiring visionary filmmakers likely to put a personal stamp on its uniquely lucrative franchise. But help for Skyfall arrived in the form of director Sam Mendes (American Beauty) and co-writer John Logan, author of the recent Broadway smash Red and films like Gladiator and Martin Scorsese’s Hugo. they bring together all the familiar Bond elements in support of a solid, straightforward spy story, and they nail the elusive tone of classic Bond while bringing it squarely into the world of the present day. the past haunts Skyfall like a noontime shadow. the story begins with a failure

by Bond (Daniel Craig) and his boss M (Judi Dench) to prevent a list of agents embedded in terrorist organizations across the globe from falling into the wrong hands, with predictably lethal results. All that follows is directly tied to Bond’s and M’s lengthy personal histories with British spy agency MI6. Can they adapt to a world in which gadgetry is no match for computer hackers? their characters’ late-career troubles set the stage for Craig (in his third film as Bond) and Dench (her seventh film as M) to bring real flesh and blood to the proceedings. And then there’s Javier Bardem. It should come as no surprise that he makes an ideal Bond villain given his flamboyantly evil turn in the Coen brothers film No Country for Old Men. Bardem makes an impossibly grand and elegant entrance almost halfway through Skyfall, and it’s enough to make you want to watch the entire movie again.

Skyfall turns its frequent implausibilities into simple pleasures in the manner of all the best Bond films. A 12-minute opening sequence reportedly took two months to shoot and includes a stunt so preposterous, it made at least one local movie critic laugh out loud at a recent screening. But that’s exactly what you want from Bond, especially on the occasion of his 50th anniversary on film. – KEN KORMAN

Installation by Derek Larson

THRu

Tantric Wealth: multimedia

The massive brick building looming above the Claiborne Avenue installation by Derek Larson NOV overpass between Montegut and St. Ferdinand streets looks like the open Nov. 10 and industrial structure it once was, and while you’d never guess from by appointment the exterior, it currently comprises more than 50 art studios. It also houses the May Gallery, the St. Claude Arts District’s northernmost May Gallery, 2839 N. Robertoutpost, which currently features Derek Larson’s Tantric Wealth exhibison St., Suite 105, 316-3474; tion, a mixed-media extrapolation of ancient beliefs and contemporary www.themayspace.com currencies. His busy montages of monetary symbols including euros, pesos, pounds, dollars and krona are configured into contemporary yantras, the sacred diagrams employed in traditional Hinduism as meditative pathways to cosmic consciousness. All are untitled, and all radiate the irony that inevitably attends any fusion of things macro and micro, sacred and venal.

Adding to their pop aura, all are rendered in acidic shades of tangerine, mauve, salmon and so forth, in patterns as incomprehensible as global finance itself. And while the sages of ancient Asia offered paths to self-liberation, today’s global economy more often resembles something the Egyptian pharaohs might have devised, only our new pharaohs are the financiers who sometimes seem to try to rule the world even as the high priests of technology keep the masses mesmerized with the latest addictive gadgets that command ever more of our attention — as we see in Larson’s video projections of people seemingly transfixed, meditating on their pods, pads, tablets and cellphones.

Like digital yogis, they channel vast networks of universal corporate consciousness, and here we encounter a Ray Bradbury vision of a dystopia of electronic lotus eaters where everyone is wired into a waking dream of virtual connectedness, a realm of eternally ephemeral enticements that never fail to tantalize even as the latest “new and improved” iteration of electronic nirvana looms on a perpetually receding horizon. The reality is more nuanced than this sounds, but Larson gives us a lot to think about. — D. ERIC BookHARDT

Leigh Fondakowski has created several theater pieces based on interviews and documentary-style presentations, including The Laramie Project, about the 1998 gay-bashing death of Matthew Shepard. Fondakowski and visual artist reeva Wortel presented a workshop production of Spill at NoCCA last week, and it is full of colorful and real characters, including managers and technicians aboard the Deepwater Horizon on April 20, 2010 when the rig exploded; the father of Gordon Jones, who died in the disaster; and fishermen who lost their livelihoods and volunteered to do cleanup work. the piece also includes excerpts from congressional testimony. the testimony, coupled with staging in which many characters talk directly to the audience and rarely to each other, makes the piece feel like a disjointed courtroom drama. Many of the monologues, both personal narratives and technical explanations, are riveting, particularly as the drilling operation broke down. As a whole, the piece is a concise account of the disaster and the two years afterward. but that’s a lot of material to cover, and in its current state, the performance lasts nearly three hours, including a 10-minute intermission. Fondakowski wrote a very focused and vividly detailed script, but for as much drama as it includes, it’s not a very dramatic piece of theater.

It must have taken an extraordinary effort to cull through more than 20 interviews and hundreds of pages and hours of recorded testimony to craft this story, balancing technical and historical detail with personal accounts. It’s a very impressive report. the workshop cast read from a script, but many strong characters emerged.

Narrator Kelli Simpkins did an amazing job juggling authentic-sounding South Louisiana accents for many distinct characters. Jamie Wax animated an entertaining disaster guru in University of California at berkeley engineer robert bea.

Silas Cooper handled fishermen, Native Americans and the father of Jones very well. Donald Watkins was an oysterman and local politician as well as a rig operator, and Kesha McKey played ePA administrator Lisa Jackson.

It’s hard to guess the reaction and interest of an audience not as familiar with south Louisiana or the day-to-day stress the disaster caused. being familiar with those events, I thought it was solid on many fronts: the facts of the case, perspective on the industry and its history in coastal Louisiana, the voices of some of those affected, the impact on their lives not just during the 87 days before the well was capped but long afterward. Spill is scheduled for a more finalized production at LSU in two weeks. As an engaging account of the nation’s worst environmental disaster, it deserves great attention. — WILL CovIeLLo

JOB GURU

Dear New Orleans Job Guru, “What can an older person do to be more attractive to companies? I am 47 years old.”

— Ari M., New Orleans, LA Dear Ari, I addressed this very same issue to a Gambit reader in an early April edition who said she felt like she “wasn’t getting anywhere” in her career because “people think I am too old.” In her case, she didn’t state her age. I advised her to dress and act young, stay fit through exercise and diet, stay up to date with new technology, dive into social media, take continuing education to improve her skills, and “get out there” and attend community events, particularly in her career field.

Bartender

In your case, you have stated your age, and I am happy to tell you that 47, while not young by traditional standards, is certainly not over the hill, career-wise. If you read through the pages of Gambit, watch the local morning shows on TV, or just take a look at the business scene around you, you will see that there are many, many over-40 New Orleanians who are movers and shakers, business leaders, and trendsetters in our community.

Bar & Pizza Kitchen

One of my clients who took my Interview Skills Training class was a finalist for an executive position at a high-powered marketing firm. She was clearly concerned that her age would be a factor, since she had learned that the other finalists were over 15 years younger. In addition to supplying her with interview techniques that emphasized her accomplishments and achievements, I prepared her with the quote from Ronald Reagan’s presidential debate with Walter Mondale (Reagan was the oldest president elected to the U.S. presidency, 69 years old in 1981), “I want you to know that also I will not make age an issue of this campaign. I am not going to exploit, for political purposes, my opponent’s youth and inexperience.” During her interview, she paraphrased that quote and got a round of laughs from the selection panel… she also got the job.

You’ve probably heard that 40 is the new 30 (as well as variations on the same theme), and it is true. Whether because of style, fitness, cosmetics, or our youth-obsessed culture, there are countless celebrities and public figures in their 40s (and older) who are still box office powerhouses… For a local angle, popularity, and overall hotness, Sandra Bullock and Brad Pitt come immediately to mind.

Miyako HIibachi & Sushi Bar

Is seeking a PT Hostess. Please apply in person between 10-2:00 PM,1403 St. Charles Ave.

Here are a few tips to consider regarding your age as you job hunt: 1. Rethink your paranoia about age. Sure, there may be some employers who prefer younger applicants, but there will be others that appreciate your experience. I have heard countless gripes from those in their late 20s or early 30s who feel they were not considered “mature” enough for a high level position.

2. It’s o.k. to leave your very oldest jobs off of your résumé, unless they are vitally important or show amazing accomplishments. At age 47, you may have graduated from college approximately 1988, give or take a few years. I would advise to keep your graduation date on, because by taking it off, a reader may assume you are even 10 years (or more) older than you actually are.

3. On your résumé, emphasize all of your recent activities. Examples could include courses and seminars, memberships and volunteerism in local community organizations, and your knowledge of the latest social media. Speaking of social media, you need to be sure you have a profile on sites like LinkedIn (it’s free), have a good headshot photo done professionally for use on those sites, and participate in the online blogging community in your field.
