This is a really really interesting article about Jewish culture and the struggle of Jewish identity between self-identification and assimilation.

After the Hiatus

My fault, really, I'm having too much fun blogging for the St. Lou Jew.

Anyways, I caught a pretty funny email today at work from a woman who lost her job (not funny) and wants it back (not funny). The funny part is that her last name, according to the email was smokemeout and her email address included 420.

Word to the wise, once you graduate college, high school, or really, any time you want a job, take drug references out of your email, especially if you are on parole. Really.

Its fairly simple, set up a different gmail account if you think your marijuana-referencing email address is too clever to relinquish, have it forward to your primary account.

It's really your own fault at that point. Maybe another hit from the bong will dull the pain. Then again, no job, no money. No money, no drugs.

Laissez les bons temp rouler avec la Krewe

Krewes are not limited to NOLA, but they are quintessentially New Orlinian, more from Wikipedia.

As befitting any group of Baccanalian Hedonists, we have decided on Krewe Des Jeux, a mixture of real French, double entendre, and a poor decision at 3 am.

T-mius one hour to the fest.

As a quick recap from last year, enjoy some footage of Rebirth Brass Band's Cassanova:

Road trip from Austin

So here it is, or rather, here we are. Finally on the road to N'awlins. Treasurechest gave us a charge to provide first hand content from the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival and we are getting mentally prepared for the task at hand. With the myriads of options for moblogging, and getting the content hosted and RSS'ed, we really need tech support close at hand.

Jazz Fest is probably one of the greatest events to take place in New Orleans every year. And because New Orleans is arguably the birthplace of much of American music, it makes this event the center of my musical universe.

Its 500 miles to New Orleans, we got a full tank of gas, a redbull, its cloudy and we're wearing sunglasses.

Hit it.
