Terrific compilation. Thank you.

thanks so much!

I'm a NOLA native who plans to write her dissertation on the more revealing, informative, and honest stories that have occured on blogs during and since Katrina. Thank you for this list. Some you might want to add are http://trinalovesneworleans.blogspot.com/ and of course mine at http://dpignett.blog.usf.edu :)

Good as added

I loved the Tony Green painting of what I take to be St. Anne's or one of the other Marigny bands.

If you're writing your disertation, drop me an email via the blog and I can send one out to about a half-dozen of the frequent bloggers who I'm in direct contact with to see if they'd like to talk to you. I'm an expat, so to some extent my own experience might not be what I'm looking for. I'm planning a first drink on me meetup of some of those folks when I'm home Mardi Gras week as well.

You should probably talk to the fellow over at nola.us/Interdictor, who's an interesting fellow (in the may-you-live-in-interesting-times sense. However he's pretty famous at this point in the blogosphere (famous in the mentioned in Wired sense) because he was up blogging through it all (in his Enron-built and hardened hosting center). I've heard he's a domain nabber and other unpleasant things, but the Survivial of New Orleans Blog was the real deal the first of September last.

Good luck.

On the Liars: I want to armor the levees with the[ir] skulls...

If you think you're pissed, you should read Gulf Sail's latest, especially the bit at the bottom.

As for the lies and the liars, I found myself on the same topic earlier this week, and came to this conclusion:

The lies we need to concern ourselves with are the ones we tell ourselves, the ones we can no longer afford, and the ones we can't live without. We need to focus on the stories we tell each other of life before and of life after, the dreams and delusions we carry that will plat and plot the rebirth of New Orleans, that will make it a place we will all recognize as the heir to city left behind, made over again in our own image.

testing. testing

This is the first time I've ever done this, just wanted to see how it worked before I go and type a huge entry only to have it fuck up at the end.

Re: testing. testing

It works.

Ahem.

I don't live in NOLA, but I've got some good references from po-blog and YRHT and a couple of the others.

I don't live there either (at least not yet)

and yes, your blog should be on that list. Blog links cheerfully traded. I'll add you to my own gutter (from when that list came) tonight.

Re: I don't live there either (at least not yet)

Figures that the one time Ipimp my blog, Blogger decides to shit the bed for three days. !@#$%$%

The Java gods were angry my friend

I had a most excellent St. P day post all queueed up and ready to go, and I could not get Blogger to play nice. I think I'm going to have to settle into a paid account somewhere.

And, hey, pimping your blog is how you get links and build traffic. I've spent a immense amount of time on Wet Bank Guide, and I try anyway I can t build readership (beyond trying to write things worth reading).

Free blog pimping tips available....

u allright?

hey doc. me and my wife live in gentilly. she's a bartender and im a cook..............

i got back sept. 18 on a photoshoped boh brothers pass thru armed guards who were actually polite young men who i had no problems with. ..........she came home thanksgiving and we finnaly got the nopsi on at the house dec. 11th..............

i feel for yalls house.... there is some weird survivors guilt going on in my head every time i have to tell people yah we was lucky we only had to rewire our house the water stopped 6" from our floor boards.
when i cant even bring myself to conversate about all the people who either died in my neighborhood or the old folks who were my neighbors who had their deaths sped up and died after the storm.

i get pissed or laugh or cry but ussually i just go take a bath in da river da' nile.

im saving my strenght for june thru oct. because i know that that is going to be the biggest test of who can handle the whole delayed stress syndrome with out actually going malvo.....

the reason im writting you is twofold..

i just finished liquor and i am mad at myself that i was so excited by it that i immediatly lent it out. i cant wait to read it again............

the scene you wrote about the deconstructed gumbo made a beer come out of my nose........ and the fact that you can make emmerial seem like a symphthetic charactor just proves in my mind that you are a great writter. i allways hated the way he treated that building on chartres and toulouse but because of your book i feel a need to give him some slack and get more details..............

the other reason i am writing this is i am worried about you.....not in that summer camp kumbahyah kinda way but just the fact that you are beat down just like me and my neighbors out here in the eighth ward................i just wish to you and every body in my ward and all the wards one pure moment of clarity and an easy place to vote as well as no law suits as we place our vote weither from out of state or in town at a new polling station please al ader and k.w.b. let this election happpen.

oh well like i said im new to this blog scene and dont even know if i am posting this correctly.

i do know my spelling sucks and thats why i became a cook. hope this actually reachs you this is my first time posting.
