A special New Orleans-themed night planned by Renee.
Started with dinner al fresco at Wishbone. Despite an overmatched waiter -- with Peter's meal arriving before the appetizer, and way before Renee got any food -- it was a typically great Wishbone meal.
Round Two was a special screening of Kamp Katrina -- a quirky documentary of life in the Bywater post-Katrina featuring a couple who opened up their home to those left homeless by the hurricane. Very compelling movie...the screening was attended by the filmmakers who answered questions afterward.
And Round Three was terrific, too! A night at Fitzgerald's featuring the New Orleans Jazz Vipers in a very rare appearance outside of the Spotted Cat on Frenchmen Street (where Peter has seen them play dozens of times!) They were terrific and the crowd loved them.
The Vipers opened for Marcia Ball who played great, as usual, but the musical night belonged to Vipers.
A very satisying, complete night. Definitely an A!
