I’m at Z’otz in New Orleans. Have you been? It’s kind of like your college roommate who is double majoring in fashion and fine art dropped out and started a coffee shop. And, the year was 1997. I was staring confused at dismembered mannequin legs on the floor when it […]
Last night I was privileged to hear the Iguanas perform. They were raucous with tight grooves and the audience was dancing. It was also cool because I got to thank them for raising money in Baton Rouge last week. The flooding messed us up pretty bad, and their show at the Dyson House Listening […]
