July 12 – 15th, 2012: Who Says It’s the Slow Season Here in New Orleans?

We’ll be at Good Ideas for New Orleans event which is being cohosted by Neighborland & the New Orleans chapter of the AIGA . Unfortunately, there are no more seats left; but you can probably try to crash the party late if you’ve got a hankering for a Taceaux Loceaux taco, or some Brigade Coffee, or some NOLA Brewery beer – come by and see if you can sneak in.

There’s also the 2nd Annual Marques de Caceres Wine Dinner in celebration of the New Orleans Running of the Bulls which happens on Saturday.

Of course, it’s Thursday, so Kermit is at Vaughn’s tonight starting at 7pm

And then you can head over to the Hi-Ho at 10 for the Stooge’s Brass Band.

Tomorrow, 7/13/12:

• We’re gonna catch the second line for Uncle Lionel Batiste starting at 5pm at Tuba Fats Square. (Taking the kiddo – this is of cultural significance!!)
• Bastille Day celebrations begin! There will be fireworks on the Mississippi at 9pm.
• Tipitina’s has their regular Foundation Free Friday (free to get in!) with Good Enough for Good Times + Gypsyphonic Disko.
• We’ll be at Rock n Bowl for Bonerama which starts at 8:30.

Saturday, 7/14/12:

• 6AM Wake Up!! It’s finally time for the New Orleans version of the Running of the Bulls. Don’t make any excuses – throw on something white; grab a red scarf and jet down to the Sugar Mill to witness the festivities. Oh, don’t forget your camera – it’s a great photo op.
• There’s lots of activities related to Bastille Day across the city; read all about them.

Sunday, 7/15/12:

• Recover. Head over to Cafe Atchafalaya or Satsuma Cafe for brunch and to feed the soul.
• Every Sunday, the Hot 8 Brass Band has a standing gig at the Howlin’ Wolf Den. Check it.
