I used to put so much effort into a fake tilt shift, now with an iphone app I just squeeze or pinch and under the glaring mid-day sun tell myself "enh, that looks pretty good". I did this one "in app" so I can't even go back to make revisions. I do love me some NOLA though...
The Meters were playing while I was there, but I didn't have it in me to venture out at 1AM for the show when I knew I had to be at work at 5:30AM. Mad props, (does anybody even use that expression anymore?) to Harvey & Hoops for making us all look like spinsters with the stories they told.

The Wild Tchoupitoulas were originally a group of Mardi Gras Indians formed in the early 1970's by George Landry. With help from local New Orleans musicians The Meters, The Wild Tchoupitoulas recorded an eponymous album, which featured the "call-and-response" style chants typical of Mardi Gras Indians. Vocals were provided by Landry, as "Big Chief Jolly", as well as other members of his Mardi Gras tribe. Instrumentation was provided in part by members of the Meters. The album also notably featured Landry's nephews, the Neville Brothers, providing harmonies and some of the instrumentation. While not a financial success, the effort was well received critically and the experience recording it encouraged the four Neville brothers to perform together for the first time as a group. The album was produced by famed New Orleans writer/musician and record producer Allen Toussaint.

Galaxy 3-0 over the Timber.

We scored 2 in the first few minutes and that white section in the back lost it.

Good times.
