Anyone here know anyone who attended or crewed it?
O, to have been there witnessing the dawn of Peak Freddie…
Just scored a (pricey but amazing) ticket for the gig at lakefront in November - two days, $264 to see Pantera, Down, CoC, Crowbar, Black Label Society...
Presale code is "NOLA". See some of y'all there!
Tried to get a photo of a nutshell but failed to complete the trilogy 😂
Saturday at 5pm. The chance to celebrate an Uptown legend who was taken from us waaay too fuckin’ soon.
As the late, great Warren Zevon said: enjoy every sandwich, folks.
Louisiana’s finest are playing a show tonight at Southport Hall to record a live album - I’m now double booked so would love to transfer them to a local metal fan - just drop a comment here and I’ll transfer to whoever posts the most entertaining or persuasive ask before 3pm 😂
Found out last night that one of our city’s finest bartending personalities, Ian (English fella) from Brothers III, has crossed over.
I know he was diagnosed recently with colorectal cancer - but this is a shock and happened so quickly.
Any word on a GFM for his funeral or anything?
That’s two of Uptown’s biggest bartending characters gone in the last six months… life is precious, y’all - enjoy every sip ❤️
“No. Well, you’re obviously some sort of arsehole, aren’t you?”
Just discovered these guys via a KEXP live session… absolutely incredible and clearly influenced by Kim and Ben!
Been waiting for a while to visit this place - heard only good things about the food, the incredible beer selection… maybe I caught them on an off day, but went the other evening and was made to feel about as welcome as a fart in a spacesuit.
Asked to a beer - none of the taps were working, tried four times but no dice, barman had a face like a bulldog licking piss off a nettle and ended up just walking away and serving someone else.
We cut a sharp exit - in a town where you have the best service industry folks in the world, it hits hard when you get treated like shit.
Just a bad night or is this the vibe here now?
Metal fans - NOLA’s finest are playing a free show at Southport on 7/17, filming and recording for a live album / DVD.

From my local gym. Friday is Shavuot, the Jewish day celebrating the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai.
That means that I don't work, I don't drive a car, I don't fucking ride in a car, I don't handle money, I don't turn on the oven, and I sure as shit DON’T FUCKING ROLL!!!
Nine years ago today since the world lost one of its most beautiful, talented, precious souls. Still feels like a death in the family - and the circumstances of his passing still hurt so deeply.
I was lucky enough to see Chris play in 2016 in Glasgow, Scotland - got front row seats and shook his hand at the end of the gig… don’t think I washed it for weeks afterwards. One of the best shows of my life.
We’re lucky to have had him and his otherworldly, soulful bellow in our lives - as the lyric goes, no-one sings like you anymore 😢
If you’re struggling, please reach out - to me, to a friend, to a helpline… don’t bottle it up, and remember that the world is always infinitely more beautiful with you in it, whether you feel that way or not ❤️
Just moved house and giving some pre-loved stuff to a good home.
Giving away:
- 3 bar stools
- Gold colored fireplace accessories
- Bike mount for car
Pickup near Napoleon and Magazine.
Looks like the Trader’s on Freret is nearly open - anyone know the opening date on that one?
Also - excited about Aldi on Tchoup, any word on that?
Just moved Uptown and acquired this very cute - but 100% not “us” - iron sculpture from the previous owners.
Would love to give it away to a school or family who can display it and make sure Dotty keeps making people smile.
You’ll need a truck or trailer to pick her up, she’s about 5ft in height and wide - I’ll give to anyone who can pick her up this week and share what their plans are for displaying her!
No timewasters please - this lady deserves a good new home!
Uptown pickup near Magazine and Napoleon - will give to the first person who can commit to picking up Saturday or Sunday. You’ll need a pickup or trailer, it’s big but in great condition.
Unfortunately life has got in the way of our JF plans this year so we can’t make it - rather than go on the resale sites, I figured we’d sell at a discount to someone who’ll appreciate them.
$600 obo, pickup on Wed or Thu from Uptown - hit me up if interested!
