FRI. OCT. 14 | After collaborations on tour, at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival and inside Preservation Hall, My Morning Jacket guitarist Carl Broemel practically is a satellite member of the Pres Hall Jazz Band. He returns to the Hall with a beautifully understated new solo album, 4th of July (Thirty Tigers), in tow. Daniel Martin Moore opens at 11:59 p.m.

Ponderosa Stomp: Shake It or Break It

BY WILL COVIELLO

FRI.-SUN. OCT. 14-16 | The next full Ponderosa Stomp is in 2017, but this three-night series features early rock ’n’ rollers including bluesman Leo “Bud” Welch and The Fortifiers, Barbara Lynn, Roy Head, Lil’ Buck and the Buckaroos, Daddy Long Legs and others. At Ace Hotel New Orleans.

AT THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION IN PHILADELPHIA IN JULY, Sarah Silverman joined

Minnesota senator and fellow former Saturday Night Live writer and cast member Al Franken at the podium. She had written a short speech about why as a prominent Bernie Sanders supporter, she now was supporting the party’s nominee, Hillary Clinton. Silverman may have seemed like an odd choice for a convention speaker. Her work revels in taboobreaking humor, including digging into prejudice, religion and sex and body image jokes. On her 2013 album Sarah Silverman: We Are Miracles, she wistfully pondered having been a sperm leaving her father’s body, finishing the joke by marveling at once being thin enough to fit through the passageway. That’s the type of humor fans can expect at her show at the Saenger Theatre Oct. 16, which closes Hell Yes Fest. Silverman had been invited to speak at the convention by Sanders’ wife Jane Sanders and the Democratic party, she told Gambit. At the event, she had to change her speech. “We had a rehearsal,” she says. “I had to cut five minutes to two minutes, which killed me because, of course, to me I am the only one that exists — ‘But I have so many important things to say.’ But OK, I am a cog in this. They said cut it down to two minutes, and I did. “I finished speaking, and right off camera, five feet from me, there is this guy shouting “Stretch! Stretch!” As Silverman and Franken ad-libbed, Sanders supporters were restless, not ready to throw their support to Clinton. Silverman ended up moving the convention forward, not with her impassioned political appeal, but with

a wag of her finger. “Can I just say to the ‘Bernie or bust’ people,” she told the crowd, “You are being ridiculous.” The political press talked about the moment. Silverman just laughs about it, noting that one can’t always predict what will work. “It’s like my friend Liam Lynch, who is a brilliant musician — his songs, the music he makes, everything he does is so genius. He made a song called ‘The United States of Whatever’ and it became really big. And he’s like, ‘Jesus. You work so hard at your craft and your passion, and you make all this art you love, and then you fart in a cup and that’s what everybody is drawn to.’” Silverman’s Twitter feed is filled with her election commentary, but she’s busy crossing the country for stand-up gigs in October. Stand-up comedy is still her primary focus, but she’s done all sorts of comedy, from starring in The Sarah Silverman Program on Comedy Central to roasting James Franco to voicing Simpsons characters and appearing in Seinfeld, The Larry Sanders Show, School of Rock and many other movies. Since publishing her memoir The Bedwetter: Stories

of Courage, Redemption, and Pee in 2010, she’s been tapped to play serious roles. In 2015, she starred as a depressed mother struggling with addiction in the film I Smile Back. She plays a recurring character on Masters of Sex. Silverman says she was cast in serious roles after she discussed her book on Howard Stern’s radio show, but she always has been open to noncomedy roles. “I don’t see why people don’t think you can do drama if you haven’t done it,” she says. “To me, my part in The Aristocrats is a drama. I am playing it serious. As long as you are playing material honestly, it’s not like a huge difference.”

Elvis Costello with The Preservation Hall Jazz Band SAT. OCT. 15 | His friend Allen Toussaint is gone, but that hasn’t stopped Elvis Costello from paying respects to his hometown. The rock icon graced Preservation Hall’s Midnight Preserves series in April, and he’s joined by the Pres Hall Jazz Band for this storytelling “Detour” performance. At 8 p.m. at Saenger Theatre.

Grupo Corpo SAT. OCT. 15 | Fans of the Olympics, or Olympic closing ceremonies, may have seen members of this Brazilian troupe in the Carnival-esqe finale in Rio’s Maracana Stadium. The company presents an athletic and elegant fusion of ballet, modern and Brazilian folk dance and samba. At 8 p.m. at Mahalia Jackson Theater for the Performing Arts.

I-10 News on the move 1. SHORT-TERM

RENTAL VOTE DEFERRED (AGAIN)

Following years of debate and several studies, the New Orleans City Council was set to vote on a framework for regulating shortterm rentals advertised through platforms like Airbnb. The vote was scheduled for Oct. 6, but the City Council announced it’s deferring the matter to Oct. 20. If the Council misses that deadline, the delay could scuttle the issue for good — at least until the next administration steps in. The City Council is looking at a lengthy report and recommendations from the City Planning Commission (CPC) outlining four potential types of short-term rentals, a practice that currently is illegal but rarely enforced. The CPC voted to prohibit whole-home rentals in residential areas, which account for nearly three-quarters

2. Quote of the week “Last summer, I was old enough to know better — but I guess I was still young enough to do something stupid.” — Jefferson Parish President Mike Yenni, 40, in a prerecorded commercial provided to WWL-TV Oct. 6, which the station treated as news. Yenni reportedly is under investigation by the FBI on charges of ‘sexting’ a young man who was 17 at the time. All seven Parish Council members and Jefferson Parish Sheriff Newell Normand have called on Yenni to resign.

3. ‘Low-barrier’

homeless shelter plans unveiled City officials unveiled plans last week for a low-barrier homeless shelter in Central City, another step in Mayor Mitch Landrieu’s 10-year plan, unveiled in 2011, to end homelessness in the city. “It’s exactly what it sounds like: There is no barrier for entry,” Landrieu said Oct. 3. The shelter will have 75 to 100 beds, 24-

of all short-term rentals in New Orleans and 2 percent of the city’s entire housing stock. Only a few council members have spoken out against whole-home rentals — District A Councilwoman Susan Guidry told Gambit in July that they’re “the biggest threat to the quality of life of

hour security and will accept men and women. People entering the shelter are not required to be sober, which prevents some from seeking shelter. People at the shelter will have access to health care and transportation. The building at 3101 Erato St. was chosen for its proximity to people living under or near the Claiborne overpass, and it’s near other service providers. The city first will target elderly and homeless people under the expressway. Officials from nearby schools expressed concern for student safety. Landrieu said the shelter opening will serve as a “lesson to see the homeless and not be afraid of them.” The shelter’s $1 million allocation from the Landrieu administration and the City Council is matched with another $1 million from the Downtown Development District (DDD). Operational funding — $500,000-$750,000 a year — will be split between the city and the DDD. The Landrieu administration will host six stakeholder roundtable meetings on the shelter through Nov. 20.

our long-term residents.” District D Councilman Jared Brossett said he’s concerned about the “commercialization of residential neighborhoods as a result of wholehouse short-term rentals.” At-Large Councilwoman Stacy Head said they likely would be “heavily regulated” if they’re approved.

4. A chain hotel in the Marigny?

Developers plan to build a Hilton Hampton Inn hotel in the Faubourg Marigny at the corner of Elysian Fields Avenue and Decatur Street. A Sept. 29 letter sent to neighbors outlines plans for a four-story hotel with 119 rooms, front pedestrian entrances on Elysian Fields and onsite parking accessed by driveways opening on Decatur Street, with landscaping to provide a “visual barrier.” Francisco Alecha of Francisco Alecha Architecture writes that it would take about 18 months to construct after plans are approved. Developers will host a community meeting at 7:15 p.m. Monday, Oct. 17 at St. Paul Lutheran Church (2624 Burgundy St.), where residents “are invited to ask questions or pose concerns about our project,” according to the letter. The building requires a conditional use permit for construction, which must be approved by the City Planning Commission and the New Orleans City Council. Amit Patel — through his group 501 EFA Hotel, which

has developed several hotels in the New Orleans area — bought the building last month for $3.5 million. The building previously was held by developer Sean Cummings, who bought it for $1.1 million in 2007 with plans for the “Elisio Lofts,” a $20 million, six-story condo project. In 2012, the City Council effectively killed Cummings’ plans.

Xavier holds ‘Black Lives Matter’ symposium Xavier University hosts its second annual Black Lives Matter symposium, with the theme “Urban Education Matters,” Oct. 21-22. The symposium includes workshops and panel discussions addressing poverty, violence, the school-to-prison pipeline, racism on college campuses and racial reconciliation through the lens of education in black communities. Registration is $65; visit www. xulablacklivesmatter.com for more information or to register.

6. Hurricane Matthew, JBE and Cuba

Powerful Hurricane Matthew’s path through the Caribbean was catastrophic for Baracoa, the easternmost city in Cuba — but didn’t derail Gov. John Bel Edwards’ trade mission to Havana last week, where he and several dozen other state leaders met to discuss possible port deals once the decades-long embargo of Cuba is lifted.

Nix, Mid-City libraries to close temporarily Two New Orleans library branches will close temporarily this month — one for renovation, the other for relocation, according to a memo last week from library director Charles Brown. The Nix branch library on South Carrollton Avenue will close Oct. 15 for painting, electrical, plastering, plumbing and other major maintenance work. No specific date is set for the reopening, but library staff was told it would be in “early 2017.” The Mid-City branch will move from the American Can Company on Orleans Avenue to the 1963 Automobile Life Insurance building at 4140 Canal St. That building was designed by Curtis & Davis Architects, and was designated a city historic landmark in 2010 by the New Orleans Historic District

Landmarks Commission. The American Can location will close Oct. 22, and the new Canal Street branch is set to open at the end of November.

8. Boustany sues U.S. Rep. Charles Boustany — a frontrunner in the heated U.S. Senate race — last week sued New Orleans investigative reporter Ethan Brown, author of the new book Murder in the Bayou, and Brown’s publisher Simon & Schuster. Brown’s book, about the still-unsolved killings of eight sex workers in Jefferson Davis Parish, included the detail that many of the women plied their trade at the Boudreaux Inn in Jennings, which was run by former Boustany aide Martin Guillory (who left Boustany’s employ after the book came out). Brown also quotes three unnamed sources who said Boustany patronized several prostitutes, though Brown does not claim the congressman had anything to do with any of the deaths. Boustany has sued for defamation. Brown stands by his story and declined to comment when contacted by Gambit.

9. JBE gets REAL Gov. John Bel Edwards was the first to get a state REAL ID Oct. 3, when the enhanced security drivers’ licenses were made available. Louisianans now will have their choice of a traditional license or a REAL ID, which will allow the bearer to board domestic flights and access federal buildings by the year 2020. Some have objected to REAL ID over privacy concerns; they have the option of showing a passport. (See “Commentary,” p. 9.)

10. A public defenders’ second line

A “Second Line for Equal Justice” in support of “a fully funded Public Defenders’ Office” in New Orleans will step off at noon Oct. 22 from Kermit’s Treme Mother-in-Law Lounge (1500 N. Claiborne Ave.) The office long has claimed underfunding; its budget in 2015 was $6.2 million, a sum Orleans Public Defender Derwyn Bunton claims is millions short. The second line group says “over 80 percent” of New Orleans arrestees cannot afford a lawyer.

The move follows NOPD’s participation in the White House’s Police Data Initiative, intended to offer a window into police data nationwide. MAX offers a ”dive deep” into criminal justice with monthly reviews in each district. With MAX and NOPDNews, NOPD presents “real-time” progress reports, response times and crime statistics, as well as compliance updates with the U.S. Department of Justice consent decree. “This will make us accountable, transparent, responsible and the best department we can possibly be,” NOPD Chief Michael Harrison said in an Oct. 6 statement. With its launch last week, the data reveals some errors (the website lists only 58 murders so far this year — there have been 131, at press time) and obvious points of concern — response times average 20 minutes despite a 7-minute goal. “It’s clearly not PR-driven,” says crime analyst Jeff Asher. “There are going to be things in here that are not going to be the flashiest or reflect the best crime stats, going forward. ...

COMMENTARY

LAST WEEK, LOUISIANA TOOK ONE MORE STEP TOWARD COMMON SENSE when the state Office

of Motor Vehicles (OMV) began issuing REAL ID-compliant drivers’ licenses and identification cards. The federal REAL ID law requires applicants to present more stringent forms of identification than in years past (such as a certified copy of a birth certificate, a Social Security card and proof of residence) to get a state-issued license or ID card. Under the law, Americans by the year 2020 will not be allowed to fly domestically without REAL ID-compliant identification. Typically, Louisiana trails the rest of America on this. Then-President George W. Bush signed the federal REAL ID Act in 2005 to fight terrorism, and most states have reconfigured their licenses to comply. Former Gov. Bobby Jindal, however, opposed REAL ID, arguing along purely ideological grounds that it was an information grab by the feds.

Gov. John Bel Edwards’ policies have been a breath of fresh air after eight years of Bobby Jindal’s ideological showboating. Legislation that would have created an optional REAL ID Louisiana driver’s license went nowhere until this year, when Gov. John Bel Edwards signed measures allowing Louisianans to choose REAL ID. The new law took effect last week. More information about REAL ID can be found at www.expresslane.org. Jindal’s baseless obstructionism had little to do with privacy (getting a passport requires similar documentation) and everything to do with political grandstanding. REAL ID in Louisiana thus played out along the same lines as Medicaid expansion. Jindal refused to accept federal Medicaid dollars on the pretext that it would be “bad for Louisiana’s taxpayers” — even though the feds now pick up 90 percent of the cost to insure Louisiana’s working poor. The real reason for Jindal’s opposition, of course, was because President Barack Obama conceived the expansion program. Jindal couldn’t

bring himself to endorse anything Obama touched. Edwards had promised to expand Medicaid while a candidate for governor. He kept that promise, and already more than a quarter of a million previously uninsured Louisianans have signed up for Medicaid coverage. Lives already have been saved. The new governor also took a pragmatic approach in April when he signed an executive order that provided state workers and employees of state contractors with basic non-discrimination protections — including protections for LGBT citizens. Former Govs. Kathleen Blanco and Edwin Edwards issued similar orders, but Jindal let them lapse and supported so-called “religious freedom” laws, which would have explicitly allowed discrimination. John Bel Edwards’ executive order caused barely a ripple in the state, as it was both the right thing to do and a signal that Louisiana was business-friendly. It paid off big time just four months later when the National Basketball Association (NBA) pulled its 2017 All-Star Weekend out of Charlotte, North Carolina in response to that state’s controversial anti-LGBT laws — and moved the star-studded event to New Orleans. Edwards may never be a favorite among national progressive Democrats, but his common sense moves during his first nine months in office have been a breath of fresh air after eight years of Jindal’s ideological showboating.

Yenni should resign — now JEFFERSON PARISH PRESIDENT MIKE YENNI SHOULD RESIGN. PERIOD. No delays, no excuses,

no time off with his family to pray over it. If you want to pray for someone, pray for the young man Yenni was sexting while the kid was still in high school — and for both their families. Yenni has admitted sending “an improper text” to a 17-year-old. “Improper” is a charitable self-description of Yenni’s behavior. It was at best grotesquely inappropriate and at worst illegal under federal law. According to WWL-TV’s David Hammer, the FBI is looking into the matter. The age of sexual consent is 17 in Louisiana, so apparently there was no violation of state law when, according Hammer (who interviewed the young man, now age 19), Yenni met the teenager in a mall bathroom, gave him designer underwear, kissed him and later texted him saying he wanted to have sex with him. Under federal law, sending sexual texts to someone under 18 is a crime. The sexting ended when the young man blocked Yenni’s calls in June, according to Hammer’s reports. Yenni has declined interview requests and skipped a Jefferson Parish Council meeting after Hammer broke the story last week. Instead, Yenni issued a videotaped statement: “Last summer I was old enough to know better, but I guess I was still young enough to do something stupid. I chose to send an improper text to a young man. I won’t go into details out of respect for the rights and privacy of all parties. I made a bad decision. I regret my actions. I apologize to the families involved and anyone who I embarrassed, especially my own family and the people of Jefferson. “Now I will work every day to prove that good people can rise from a bad decision. I want to reassure the citizens of Jefferson that I never abused or misused my powers as a public official. And I’m certainly not afraid of the future, because I’m smart enough never to repeat the past.” Yenni’s response is wrong on so many levels it almost defies enumeration. First, the now-40-

year-old Yenni was not “young enough to do something stupid” when he pursued a 17-year-old. Second, having admitted to the texting, albeit in vague terms, Yenni should have sought advice from a good lawyer, not a PR consultant.

If Yenni won’t resign, Jefferson Parish voters should recall him — immediately. Third, Yenni asserts that he never abused his office, yet the young man told Hammer that Yenni offered him a job so they could be near each other. Fourth, Yenni’s vow to work his way out of this shows him to be almost clinically obtuse. Finally, the ultimate insult to Jefferson Parish voters is Yenni’s final statement: “I’m smart enough never to repeat the past.” Really?

Hey Blake, Every day I drive by Harry’s Dive Shop on Airline Drive. There are four tall metal poles next to the building. Why are they there and what purpose do they serve? LEE

Dear Lee, In 1970, Harry Caldwell dove into a business that has taught hundreds of locals how to scuba dive, and has sold them the gear they needed to do it safely. Caldwell originally opened Harry’s Dive Shop at 1513 Metairie Road before moving to the 2500 block of that street and finally to its current location at 4709 Airline Drive in Metairie. A native of Knoxville, Tennessee, Caldwell had worked for DuPont and the Atomic Energy Commission as a pneumatic instrument technician. He also worked for South Central Bell Telephone Company in Tennessee and Louisiana. His daughter Cindy Caldwell said an interest in scuba diving led him to teach courses at

the Lee Circle YMCA as far back as the 1960s. At the time, people could buy diving equipment from an Army surplus store but there were no places to learn to use it safely. About 10 years after opening his own business, Caldwell moved it to Airline Drive, where he built a 16-foot-deep, Olympic-size indoor swimming pool for swimming and diving courses. Harry died in 1986, but his family continues to run the business. Cindy is a certified diving instructor and offers classes as well as selling scuba gear. As for the large metal poles outside the business, Cindy explains that

The four spear-shaped poles by Harry’s Dive Shop are remnants of an electronic billboard. P H OTO B Y K A N DAC E P O W E R G R AV E S

they once supported an electronic billboard advertising Harry’s Dive Shop and other businesses. The sign was erected about the same time Harry’s opened on Airline Drive, but in recent years the sign rotted and was in danger of collapse. The sign came down, but the poles that supported it remain.

Founded in 1940, Antoine’s is the oldest restaurant in New Orleans and one of the oldest in America. It’s featured in a new book as one of Ten Restaurants That Changed America (Libertine Publishing). Author Paul Freedman explains the culinary history of Antoine Alciatore’s establishment and its impact on cuisine nationwide. Three classic oyster dishes created by the restaurant are known across the country. Oysters Rockefeller is the most famous, invented by Antoine’s son Jules Alciatore and first served in 1899. It was so rich in flavor, it was named for the richest man in America at that time, John D. Rockefeller. Its recipe is a closely guarded secret. Antoine’s also says it invented Oysters Bienville in the 1930s, though Arnaud’s popularized the dish. Named for the city’s founder, it consists of oysters broiled in their shells with a bechamel, pimiento and cheese sauce. Last is Oysters Foch, also invented by Antoine’s and featuring fried oysters in a brown sauce served on toast slathered with pate. It is named for Marshal Ferdinand Foch, the French World War I general, who once visited Antoine’s.

WHAT DID THE KING CAKE BABY EVER DO TO YOU? THIS IS FOR ALL THE PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO DECIDED THEY DISLIKE THE KING CAKE BABY without

BY JASON SAUL @JASONMSAUL PH OTOS CO U RTE SY N BA PH OTOS

HOOP

DREAMS THE BASKETBALL SEASON ALWAYS DAWNS AT THE MOST BEAUTIFUL TIME OF THE YEAR IN NEW ORLEANS. The disgusting blanket of

summer finally lifts. Oyster season begins, and hurricane season comes to an end. And the fresh breath of an autumn breeze is matched only by the sweet promise of distraction from disastrous Sunday afternoons in Saints country. There’s something about that crispness in the air that excites the hell out of sportswriters. Last year, with the New Orleans Pelicans coming off a wild late-season push and playoff appearance, plus a new coach and sky-high expectations for a burgeoning superstar, I filled these pages with effusiveness and excitement.

Boy, was I wrong. Hobbled by injuries and with a roster beset by lackluster shooters who couldn’t play much defense, the Pelicans limped to a 1-11 start. It was a demoralizing hole out of which they never were able to climb. The team finished the season with just 30 wins, and only nine victories on the road. Ouch. Be prepared for much the same this year. The Pelicans have turned over a good chunk of their roster — again. They are physically depleted and hurting, with a ton of money sitting on the bench or in the doctor’s office — again. At a time when Anthony Davis was scheduled to begin blossoming into a bona fide phenomenon, the 2016-17 Pelicans season is

shaping up to be yet another “rebuilding” year. “One of the things that’s discouraging at times, is the Saints and the Pelicans — and I hate to draw the parallels but they are both owned and operated by the same people — have the two greatest athletes to ever play for New Orleans in Drew Brees and Anthony Davis,” says Fletcher Mackel, sports anchor at WDSU-TV. “They’ve got two PAGE 16

giving it a chance. This is for all the national media outlets that discover our little bundle of joy for the first time each year and scorch our retinas with their hot takes. All of you should love King Cake Baby. King Cake Baby is both precious and unnerving, both gentle and dreadful. Its hands, when not gingerly dangling from its own mouth because it’s too young to understand what else they can do, are usually sweetly draped alongside a person much, much older than it. The confidence this child shows in posing for pictures and playing patty-cake with anyone willing is astounding. How dare you. If you’re horrified at the thought of king cake in October, I get it. Absolutely we shouldn’t consume the Carnival treat in the fall. But the King Cake Baby makes me want to throw a century’s worth of tradition in the garbage can. Trot this 1-month-old out every single game if that’s what it takes to get the people conditioned to love the King Cake Baby. I mean, come on. What did the King Cake Baby ever do to you? The answer is a resounding “nothing.” Shame on you. The King Cake Baby did nothing but come into this world baked into a king cake without a mother or father. Alone. Starving. Terrified. Placed within the confines of a stiff diaper. And you know what King Cake Baby did? Survived. If you can look into this child’s eyes and not see a future Nobel Peace Prize winner or president of the United States of America, then you probably should keep those hateful eyes shut. I love King Cake Baby, and if I have to raise it myself, then so be it. I may have been unsuccessful at buying the ownerless Hornets in 2011 and coaching the Sean Payton-less Saints in 2012, but I will not fail at adopting the King Cake Baby in 2016. I will raise this child to be open minded. I will choose the perfect preschool. I will nurture its unique talents and teach it to love life. And when King Cake Baby becomes King Cake Adult, everyone who was rude to King Cake Baby as a child will have to deal with the consequences. — CHRIS TREW

Anthony Davis is recuperating from knee and shoulder injuries. PAGE 15

guys — the right guys — doing the right things the right way, except the leadership around them just can’t seemingly get it right.” ANTHONY DAVIS, ALL 6-FOOT-11, 250 POUNDS OF HIM, is inarguably one

of the best players in the National Basketball Association. But Davis regressed last year. He averaged an incredible 24.3 points, 10.3 rebounds and two blocked shots in the 61 games in which he appeared, but failed to make any of the three AllNBA teams, missing out on a whopping $24 million bonus payday. Late last season, Davis underwent the first serious medical procedure of his career to relieve a chronic, painful condition called “jumper’s knee,” which comes from overstressing the tendon attached to the kneecap. He missed the last part of the season and has been on limited minutes of play in training camp and during preseason. Davis also has been nursing a tear in his left shoulder since his rookie year and has been playing through the pain. “I don’t know how many 23-yearolds think about their legacy in the way that he does,” says Brett Dawson, who until recently was the Pelicans beat writer for The New Orleans Advocate. “He wants to be thought of as one of the greatest players who ever played. But there’s a ceiling on how great you can be considered if you don’t win.” Davis is entering the first season of a five-year, almost $145 million contract. An organization signs a transformative player, then spends years building a team around him. General Manager Dell Demps’ attempts have been a bust so far, but he’s been given a rare second opportunity to

craft a winning organization around his superstar. IT TAKES YEARS TO DEVELOP TALENT INTO A WINNING SQUAD. A

small-market team like New Orleans, which doesn’t have a culture and history of winning and has lots of money tied up in big contracts, tends to happen upon talented players through the draft or find bargains in free agency. “It’s not like they’re not trying to put the right pieces around Anthony Davis,” WDSU’s Mackel says. “A for effort. F for execution.” Over the offseason, the team shed some familiar faces. One-dimensional players were replaced with better fits for coach Alvin Gentry’s uptempo style, which is designed to take advantage of Davis’ wow moments. Perhaps the most exciting acquisition is Chavano “Buddy” Hield, who was selected sixth overall in this year’s draft. A native of the Bahamas, Hield played for University of Oklahoma and was one of the top college players in the country. The guard was the Big 12 Player of the Year, is said to have an infectious, upbeat personality and is a talented shooter from beyond the arc. “Hield didn’t shoot the ball well in summer league, but his reputation coming out of college is as an elite 3-point shooter,” Dawson says. “That’s something that they need, an additional player to kind of stretch the floor, so he will play a big part.” The Pelicans also picked up guards E’Twaun Moore and Langston Galloway, and forward Solomon Hill. They’re decent shooters but stand to greatly improve the Pelicans’ defense. PAGE 18

BYE-BYE

BIRDIES Ryan Anderson // Where he went: Houston Rockets What we’ll miss: Ryan Anderson was a beam of sunshine and a rag doll we fell in love with. Every time he would get roughed up underneath the basket and never draw a foul, we felt for him. We’ll miss the “Anderson for 3” call from the PA announcer, we’ll miss his smile during pre-game interviews, and most of all, we’ll miss his funny guy demeanor.

Eric Gordon // Where he went: Houston Rockets What we’ll miss: When you come down with a cold and you have to take off work for a few days, you start to get used to sleeping in, binge-watching a television series, maybe reading more than you do typically. But then you have to go back to work and you kind of miss being sick. Losing Eric Gordon is kind of like that. We’ll miss his presence but we can find other ways to read more books.

Kendrick Perkins // Where he went: The sofa in his living room What we’ll miss: Perkins is one of the most well-liked locker room guys in the league, so the Pelicans will miss his leadership. Personally, I’ll miss watching him sneak snacks from the catering area, which I witnessed him do at least twice last season. — CHRIS TREW

COMING INTO THIS YEAR, THREE OF THE TEAM’S FIVE PROBABLE STARTERS WILL BE OUT WITH INJURIES.

Center Omer Asik has been playing through injuries and is expected to have to compete with Alexis Ajinca for the fourth starting spot. “In the end, professional sports is a results business,” Mackel says. “No other franchise is going to feel sorry for (the Pelicans). Seemingly every season there’s something they’re dealing with, and in the end the results aren’t there. I’m not sure the results are going to be there this season either.” The Pelicans have been beset by injuries and tragedies for years. The girlfriend of former forward Ryan Anderson, who went to the Houston Rockets this summer along with guard Eric Gordon, committed suicide in 2013. Then Anderson suffered two herniated discs in his neck. Gordon missed much of several seasons with lingering injuries. Former coach Monty Williams’ wife was killed in a car crash, and in May, guard Bryce Dejean-Jones — who was out for the season recuperating from a wrist surgery — was shot dead at a Dallas apartment complex. Then there is the saga of Jrue Holiday, the all-star guard who came from the Philadelphia 76ers in 2013 for a dear price, but who struggled with a nagging leg injury. He had begun to show a return to form at the end of the last season, until an elbow to the face fractured his eye socket. Now Holiday is on indefinite leave to care for his wife, Lauren, an Olympic soccer star who retired from sports last year to start a family. Lauren

recently gave birth to a daughter but is preparing to undergo brain surgery to remove a tumor. Through it all, the team has told Jrue to focus on his family. He may not appear on the court for months to come. SO WHAT DO WE HAVE TO LOOK FORWARD TO, ANYWAY? Seeing your

hometown team lose, and lose, and then win! And then lose some more. It can be demoralizing. But there’s nothing quite like an NBA game, intimate and frenetic and hilarious. Many seats put you close to the action, with players sometimes jumping literally in your lap. Many of the world’s greatest athletes, like Steph Curry and LeBron James, will pass through on a regular basis. And even if you’re in the uppermost of the upper deck, a basketball game is still way more personal and intimate than, say, anywhere in the cavernous Superdome or Tiger Stadium. And, thanks to some quick work by the city’s sports event boosters, New Orleans again will host the NBA AllStar game. It’s scheduled for Sunday, Feb. 19. That’s on top of the twelve Mardi Gras parades in New Orleans that weekend. With lowered expectations comes a lower bar for success, and making the playoffs would be a major coup for this team. But 82 games makes for a long season, and a first-round playoff appearance is absolutely doable as players come back into the lineup from their injuries. I’ll be keeping my eye on the Pels, and hoping for the best.

HAIKUS Buddy Hield for three: Swish goes the net, we all hope But be patient please Anthony Davis I dropped 10 grand in Vegas Hope he’s MVP Omer Asik, dude: Please dunk the ball hard because You’re seven feet tall We missed him last year Perhaps a secret weapon? Quincy Pondexter This team should run fast They should play hard-nosed defense But will they win games? New Orleans, please don’t Wear the other team’s jerseys When they come to town Postseason play is Not really in play because The West is too stacked — Chris Trew is a comedian and one of the New Orleans Pelicans’ most ardent fans.

“WHAT SHOES SHOULD I WEAR WITH THIS DRESS?” IT’S A COMMON QUESTION AT BOUTIQUES, and one

the staff at FeBe (474 Metairie Road, Metairie, 504-835-5250; www.febeclothing. com) loves to answer. They’ll make footwear suggestions based on what they know is in customers’ wardrobes. If none of those shoes fit the bill, they’ll send pictures of soon-to-arrive merchandise. Store manager Ron Jones says the key to creating repeat customers is listening to their hobbies, interests and social habits. “Just asking where they like to go out to dinner tells me if they need a wardrobe of jeans and tops or cocktail dresses,” Jones says. In 2003, sisters Effie Boihem (the “Fe”) and Bessie Papazis (the “Be”) opened the small clothing store selling ready-to-wear designer garments, handbags, shoes and jewelry. By late 2005, it had quadrupled in size. FeBe stocks 20 brands of denim. Its selection of formal gowns swells as the holidays and Carnival near.

The Crescent City Blues & BBQ Festival features local barbecue restaurants and caterers BY W I L L C OV I E L LO

THE NEW ORLEANS JAZZ & HERITAGE FOUNDATION LAUNCHED THE CRESCENT CITY BLUES & BBQ FESTIVAL AS A BLUES FESTIVAL, but the organizer

of a local festival with a similar name objected to the similarity. Inspired by the popularity of the Oak Street Po-boy Festival, the foundation added barbecue to the event, says foundation Communications and Marketing Director Scott Aiges. “Music events are important to New Orleans people,” Aiges says. “But food events are crucial. So we try to associate our festivals with food.” While blues and barbecue seem to go hand-in-hand, New Orleans isn’t traditionally known for barbecue. “Austin (Texas), Memphis, St. Louis and so many other places are known for barbecue,” Aiges says. “But it was a struggle to find vendors that satisfied those styles.” Originally, many festival vendors took familiar Louisiana approaches to outdoor grilling, and there were few who focused on slow cooking brisket or ribs or pork over low heat. But in recent years, such local barbecue restaurants and popups have come a long way. Another local festival, Hogs for the Cause, grew from a pig roast among friends to a nationally recognized barbecue event, and its spring competition featured 95 barbecue teams. Now, the Jazz & Heritage Foundation has a barbecue consultant, Colleen Rush,

co-author of Low & Slow: Master the Art of Barbecue in 5 Easy Lessons, and organizers choose vendors on the merits of their barbecue. One of the festival vendors is Blue Oak BBQ, which opened its brick and mortar location on North Carrollton Avenue in April, just in time to catch crowds on their way to or from the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. Ronnie Evans and Philip Moseley started Blue Oak as a popup at Grit’s Bar in 2012. They later moved to Mid-City to take over the kitchen spot at the bar and music venue Chickie Wah Wah. Evans and Moseley grew up in New Orleans, but they learned to barbecue in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Evans worked for a Moe’s Original Bar B Que franchise and convinced Moseley to join him. They also trained at the company’s headquarters in Colorado. But they opened Blue Oak based on their own trial and error. They slow cook brisket for 15 to 16 hours and pork butt for 13 hours, Moseley says. At the festival, they will serve ribs smoked for six hours and Frito pie, a brisket-based chili topped with sour cream and Fritos chips — a dish popular in Texas, Moseley says. They also will serve roasted garlic macaroni and cheese.

3-COURSE INTERVIEW

Leslie Iwerks FILMMAKER FILMMAKER LESLIE IWERKS IS KNOWN FOR DOCUMENTARIES about Pixar, the Hearst

family and her grandfather, Ub Iwerks, co-creator of Mickey Mouse. Her latest documentary, Ella Brennan: Commanding the Table, about restaurateur Ella Brennan, screens at the New Orleans Film Festival at 8:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 14, at The Orpheum Theater. The film focuses on Brennan’s career, from her going to work with her older brother Owen Brennan to her leadership co-founding and presiding over Commander’s Palace, where she fostered the careers of chefs Paul Prudhomme, Emeril Lagasse, Jamie Shannon and Tory McPhail. Iwerks spoke with Gambit about Ella Brennan.

What was your personal impression of Brennan? IWERKS: I think Ella is such an extraordinarily well-rounded person. She’s so smart. Having dinner with her one night, we talked about every subject under the sun. She’s so engaging and personal and complimentary and kind. I got the sense of why and how she was able to lead two businesses from scratch and attract the type of clients and customer base she did. It’s because of her personality. I was struck by her intelligence and drive. She was an incredible leader and knows how to motivate and how to inspire and bring out the best in people. She is to food what (Motown founder) Berry Gordy was to music. He was able to bring in raw talent and polish them and put them through a training ground and they came out the other side superstars. I felt it was a similar scenario with Ella. She could take a risk on someone, but she has great instincts. She can look at Paul Prudhomme, a guy from Cajun country, and everybody might pooh-pooh that. But she’d take a risk.

What made her successful as a restaurateur? I: She saw the restaurant in a holistic way. So it was about the moment people walk in the front door and how they’re greeted

and how they’re seated — to how their meal is going to be presented on the back side, how that food is being prepared. Each plate had to tell a story in her mind. She was always asking each chef, “Why?” She’d say, “You have to tell me why.” Make a case for your new dish. That’s what Emeril communicated to me. You had to prove yourself to her. … She’s very direct. I like that about her. … “That’s not good enough. You have to do better. Bring it back when it’s ready.”

What was the hardest thing she overcame? I: I think Owen’s death (in November 1955) was probably the hardest thing. It set her on a path of do-or-die. Own your self-confidence. Know what you need to do and just do it. It was survival of the fittest for the family keeping (Brennan’s) on track. Enthusiasm and love for Owen helped them continue his dream. That family has an amazing reputation for hospitality. I think there is a natural charm that Ella had that continued to build on itself. She is a lot like others of her generation. Go full bore and do it. If you have a hurdle, you have to just overcome it. You don’t spend a lot of time wallowing in setback. My dad is the same way. That generation, the World War II generation, is like that. The mentality — Ella was a real doer. — WILL COVIELLO

2015 Domaine Vetriccie Ile de Beaute Rose Corsica Retail $10-$13

The island of Corsica in the Mediterranean Sea may be the wine world’s next new thing. Its hot Mediterranean climate is tempered by sea breezes, and Corsica’s peaks rise to nearly 9,000 feet above sea level. It’s a territory of France, and although its winemaking traditions reflect Italian heritage, grape cultivation favors merlot and grenache, among other French varietals. The sustainably farmed Vetriccie estate lies on the island’s eastern coast. This wine is a blend of 40 percent nielluccio, which is believed to be a sangiovese clone, 30 percent sciaccarello, an indigenous grape, and 15 percent each of merlot and grenache. Fruit is hand-harvested overnight at low temperatures, gently pressed, drained to minimize contact with skins and fermented in temperature-controlled tanks. It exhibits aromas of wild berries, a touch of spice and herbal notes. On the palate, taste strawberry, a hint of watermelon, dried herbs, minerality, good acidity and smooth tannins. Drink it with ceviche, salmon, charcuterie, cannelloni, paneed veal, shrimp scampi, leg of lamb, beef and vegetable kebabs and barbecue. Buy it at: Bin 428, Spirit Wine, Swirl Wine Bar & Market and Dorignac’s Food Center.

MUSIC

Chance the Rapper

IN MAY 2015, A GROUP CALLED THE SOCIAL EXPERIMENT RELEASED FOR FREE ITS SURPRISE DEBUT, SURF, a minor major-key miracle that gathered gospel singers and spoken-word champs, Chica• 8 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 13 go undergrounders and everywhere-else • Mardi Gras World, above-grounders (Big Sean, Erykah Badu, Busta Rhymes, Janelle Monae), under a 1380 Port of New Orleans Place, big-top tent emceed by a horn-blowing (504) 475-2047; Horatio named Donnie Trumpet. The Social www.mardigrasworld.com Experiment’s uncredited Hamlet and actual MC is Chancellor Bennett, an early-20s talent font who first got traction in 2012-13 with two wildly assured mixtape giveaways, 10 Day and Acid Rap. By the time he dropped his third one, Coloring Book, in May, Chance the Rapper was an above-thefold headliner and hip-hop household name, the honored guest on Kanye West’s The Life of Pablo, on which he foreshadowed the game change he would foment three months later (“Let’s do a good-ass job with Chance 3/ I hear you gotta sell it to snatch the Grammy”). He was at least half right: Coloring Book is a watershed album, an all-in move on Pablo’s half-measured gospel rap and a chart attack by Surf’s experimental melting pot — the first not-for-sale LP ever to hit Billboard’s Top 200 off streaming pittances alone (57 million plays roughly equals 38,000 units, good for eighth place its first week). “Am I the only one who still cares about mixtapes?” wonders one of its hundreds of hooks. He already has an answer. Francis and the Lights opens. — NOAH BONAPARTE PAIS PAGE 32

REVIEW

SPECIAL SCREENINGS

Author: The JT LeRoy Story

THOUGH KEY EVENTS IN THE REAL-LIFE AND VERY PUBLIC SAGA OF LITERARY SENSATION JT LEROY HAPPENED 10 TO 15 YEARS AGO, the subject remains a sore one for many who played a part in LeRoy’s Through Oct. 13 complex and multilayered story. JT LeRoy’s novel Sarah and short-story The Broad Theater, 636 N. collection The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things earned praise from critics and pasBroad St., (504) 218-1008; sionate devotion among readers drawn to Leroy’s gritty tales of prostitution and drug www.thebroadtheater.com abuse, all told from the perspective of a preteen boy thrust onto the streets by an abusive mother. It didn’t hurt that LeRoy’s stories were presented as the semi-autobiographical work of an unschooled 20-year-old writer. Top artists and celebrities — from Winona Ryder to Tom Waits — were drawn to LeRoy’s extraordinary work and his authenticity, befriending the writer as he slowly emerged from self-imposed seclusion. But JT LeRoy wasn’t real. A troubled woman named Laura Albert, then in her thirties, wrote LeRoy’s celebrated books at the suggestion of her therapist. As depicted in painstaking detail by director Jeff Feuerzeig’s fascinating documentary Author: The JT LeRoy Story, Albert believed she could only write these stories through the “avatar” of LeRoy. As pressure mounted for the writer to appear in public, Albert asked Savannah Knoop, the sister of Albert’s longtime partner Geoffrey Knoop, to take on the physical role of the famously androgynous LeRoy. One thing led to another, and by the time Albert was exposed years later by stories in New York magazine and The New York Times, many public figures who supported the fictitious LeRoy felt burned by the experience. The Albert we get to know through Author: The JT LeRoy Story seems anything but a con artist looking to exploit the goodwill of famous friends. But that may be a function of Feuerzeig’s methods. The director builds on the nonjudgmental, fly-on-the-wall approach so prevalent in documentaries today by mounting a film driven almost entirely by Arnold’s voice. Feuerzeig seeks to uncover a “deeper truth” by presenting Arnold on her own terms and allowing audiences to make up their own minds about the meaning of her story — and its veracity. The director takes us on a dense, visually imaginative and fast-paced tour of Albert’s damaged psyche, aided by truckloads of materials Albert saved from each phase of her life: photos, Super 8 movies, early writings and illicit audio tapes. Albert seems to have recorded every celebrity phone call LeRoy ever received, which supplies the film with unexpected bursts of hilarity. Gorgeous animated sequences crafted for the film bring Albert’s writing to life. It all works beautifully until the film’s final half-hour, when a sordid and familiar tale of stalking reporters, media distortions and personal betrayals takes over as Albert’s identity is revealed. As recently as last month, The New York Times referred to the JT LeRoy story as a “literary hoax,” not coincidentally in a story about LeRoy’s celebrity friends and their unhappiness with the film. That phrase implies that Albert’s writings as LeRoy are somehow false or invalid, which isn’t true at all. There’s no question Albert is a profoundly unreliable narrator, in the film and elsewhere. But if we’re going to start holding artists accountable for their fictionalized backstories and public personas, we’ve got a very big job ahead of us. Fiction, after all, is what artists do. — KEN KORMAN

REVIEW THERE IS AN OLD CONTROVERSY IN ART AND SCIENCE REGARDING THE WAY SOME MYSTICS AND SCHIZOPHRENICS SEE THE WORLD as a glowing network of interwoven patterns. Is it a nutty hallucination or were they on to something? Similar patterns in the work of schizo mystic genius artists such as Walter Anderson or Vincent Van Gogh also turn up in the work of psychedelic researchers as well as recent explorations of quantum physics and fractal geometry. Now Holton Rower’s Almost Eudaimonia series of rhapsodically painted and elaborately carved plywood panels feature another perspective sometimes described as “psychedelic topographic maps.” All are untitled. In one (pictured), ripplelike forms suggest multiple interwoven vortexes riling the surface of an opaque black river, reflecting dazzlingly refracted rainbow patterns. Or is it discarded motor oil rippling under a ceiling fan, reflecting a blacklight poster? Speculation is pointless. In the quantum world, as in ancient mysticism, everything is an interwoven part of everything else. A wall-size work evokes the kaleidoscopic patterning of a free-floating aurora borealis, or maybe the spiraling • Through Oct. 29 vortex of a multicolored universe birthing • Almost Eudaimonia: Dimensionitself. Some feature X-shaped darkened patches that loom ominously over fiery al paintings by Holton Rower cellular forms, causing them to seem furtive even as others vividly radiate striated • Sister I’m a Poet: Photomonbands of deeply luminous color, as if the tage portraits by Tim Hailand God of Genesis had become a color-field artist while creating the mesas of New • Arthur Roger Gallery, 432 Julia Mexico.

Photographer Tim Hailand was inspired by French impressionist painter Claude Monet — or, actually his estate — where he spent days staring at the wallpaper. His photos of charismatic men and celebrities like Dita Von Teese and Elizabeth Taylor as Cleopatra were printed directly on baroque wallpaper, resulting in dreamily delirious yet oddly convincing evocations of the nebulous realm where personal inner space resonates with the pop culture dreams of society at large. — D.
