Darlings, Happy Halloween!
Besides Mardi Gras, Halloween is my favorite holiday and God knows that I really get into it.
New Orleans is a happy mood since the fifth consecutive victory for our beloved Saints against the Chicago Bears. Geaux saints GO!
Another happy news item is that the LGBT newspaper, Ambush, is back in circulation under new ownership. When publisher and founder, Rip Naquin, died on August 8, many wondered whetherAmbush would survive. New co-owners, Frank Pizzolato and Tommy Acosta, have stepped in and they promise it will be better than ever. Plans are to continue publishing 26 issues a year and reestablish Ambush as a regional paper covering the entire Gulf Coast, from Texas to Florida.
On a sad note, New Orleans and the entire world is mourning the death of the rock 'n' roll and rhythm and blues legend, Antoine "Fats" Domino, at 89. A Second-Line and Jazz Tribute has been planned for Wednesday, November 1 and it will go from Vaughan’s Lounge in the Bywater across the Industrial Canal to Fat’s longtime residence at Caffin Avenue and Marais Street. It is open for anyone who wants to join it. RIP, Fats! You were the greatest! www.bestofneworleans.com/thelatest/archives/2017/10/27/second-line-for-fats-domino-set-for-nov-1
Darlings, here is a reminder of my upcoming Round Table Luncheon at the Bourbon Orleans Hotel on Wednesday, November 15:
ROUND TABLE LUNCHEON WILL SALUTE NEW ORLEANS AUTHORS ON WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 15 AT NOON AT THE BOURBON ORLEANS HOTEL
Margarita Bergen and Rosemary James of the annual “Words and Music” Festival will co-host the Literary Round Table Luncheon Saluting New Orleans Authors and their new books on Wednesday, November 15 at noon at the ballroom of the Bourbon Orleans Hotel.
The featured authors are: Chris Champagne, New Orleans Secrets; Cheryl Gerber, New Orleans: Life and Death in the Big Easy; Russ Herman, The Topography of Life, Love and Travel; and Havilah Malone, How to Become a Publicity Magnet.
The live entertainment will be by the talented baritone Ivan Griffin accompanied by conductor Paul Mauffray, who will preview selections from his edition of George Whitefield Chadwick’s delightful, Tabasco - A Burlesque Operetta, that will be presented at Le Petite Theatre from January 25-28 as part of New Orleans Opera's 75th Anniversary Season.
Pianist Jim Walpole will play before and after the luncheon.
The $60, all-inclusive price includes a delicious, 3-course gourmet luncheon, champagne/wines and valet parking. So please make your reservation now before it gets sold out like it did last month. You can make reservations by calling Judy LeBlanc at (504) 571-4672 or email her at Judy.LeBlanc@BourbonOrleans.com.
RESERVATIONS AND PREPAYMENT ARE REQUIRED. Walk-ins will not be accepted, as the hotel will only prepare meals for the number of guests who have made reservations
The delicious menu will be Autumn Salad-Assorted Mixed Greens and Endive, topped with Grilled Brussels Sprouts, Dried Cranberries and Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing
The entrée is Roasted Tenderloin of Pork with Grilled Rustic Apple Compote, with Chef’s Choice of Starch and Vegetable. Dessert will be Pecan Pie with Chantilly Cream
RESERVATIONS AND PREPAYMENT ARE REQUIRED. Walk-ins will not be accepted, as the hotel will only prepare meals for the number of guests who have made reservations. The chef needs to know how much to cook and I need to know how much champagne/wine to buy for the occasion.
Darlings, last week was a very busy week for me. Sorry I skipped all the festivals but attended the social/cultural events, as well as the Halloween celebrations.
