NOLA BLOGGERS ANNUAL RISING TIDE 4 CONFERENCE ART FOR 2009 (t-shirts available):
Show us you got some soul and come to New Orleans for the Katrina Anniversary, show us you understand and know how to gain strength from us so that everyone else will know they can also gain strength from us we are a part of America.
Not just to remember but to remember in the way New Orleans should be remembered, deserves to be remembered, deserves to be remembered, deserves to be remembered, as you would remember someone you loved being wronged and because you loved them you’d need to help them heal, help them heal, and it would heal you too
America’s soul is locked up by some big ogre, like fairy tale princess chained to rocks with big orcs and one eyed monsters and she cries out so the hero must break those chains, America’s soul cries out and we are the heroes who will break those chains if you only remember us, remember us as we deserve to be remembered, as a loved one, as part of your family.
Remember the dead, remember the living, remember the kindness and the cruelty, the joy and pain, remember the great city of New Orleans and care as she rises up again with every fiber of her being, not just a geography of land and water but a people and a culture and not let her be invisible from the rest of her neighbors, remember the family crying around the world for the great city of New Orleans, remember her as she deserves to be remembered.
That’s what an anniversary is for. Come to New Orleans, please. It would be good for all our souls.

… help it. I’m obsessed.
I could visit there. NO is one of my favorite cities. Can’t even afford the ticket to get there.
should hold a Health Care Town Hall mtg there.
How many of you have been to New Orleans since Katrina?
I suppose I should also ask, how many had been before?
we took the train to Florida via the Soutern route. I has nevere seen New Orleans before this. I had never seen any of the south other then Tenn. and West Virginia. NO was better then I had imagined, it was like another country another culture. The only other cities I have the same feelings about are NY and San Fransisco. The rest of the deep south was interesting but kinda creepy, I wanted to stay in NO. A visual paradise with great music everywhere.
went to supermarket last week near here (upstate NY se of albany). Fish market guy says, “Want to try some crawfish?” Yes, I say. Tastes pretty good, not spicy enough imo. Says I, “Where do they come from?” Says he, “China.” Daughter responds, “Ewww. Bottom feeders from China. Pretty scary, no?”
Dammit. I just wanted to make crawfish etouffe. Couldn’t I please have local crawdaddies? Or at least Lousiana ones? Sheesh.
For a solid three weeks after Katrina all planes observed in my area 25 miles north of Boston Mass left nothing more than three plane lengths of contrails while they traversed the sky. I have been observing the sky every time I am outside for a period of eight years and on a routine basis observe horizon to horizon chemtrails.
I am also completely aware that none of the residents got their illegally seized guns back after the Blackwater raids.
