Whee, Whoosh
Packing up; may be evacuating by the wee hours of the morning; Hurricane Katrina threatens.
Last night played with "Some Like It Hot" at Turtle Bay in the Quarter; fun time; half the band subs or sit ins, but sounded good. Two gals came up from the audience to sing a number and both were AMAZING!
Today played for the Miss Crescent City New Orleans pagent-- small audience, and some sort of delays evident; it turns out that people from north of Lake Pontchartrain were not being allowed to cross the causeways into New Orleans; one of those turned back was the gal who was to MC the pagent. Things went well anyway; mshollie was getting what needed doing done, and kudos to the members of Froggy's Milneburg Joymakers for doing a great job dispite having no drummer (Curator Sue was called in to batton down the hatches at the State Museum).
Tonight is Krewe of OAK parade... no doubt a lot of folks will be partying like there may not be a tomorrow....
