I just sent this link to my friend that loves Harry. ;)

You look sharp in your sport coat, my friend!!!!

I'm thinking you have excitement anxiety b/c you are back in the city you love AND you are doing what you love.

I'm curious to hear your thoughts on the rebuilding plan. From where we're sitting its sounding like the idea is to tell everybody to move back, but if you don't get enough of the people in your neighborhood to go for it, then they forcibly move you and tear down your neighborhood. It seems like that's going to lead to WAY more pissed off people than just picking which neighborhoods to rebuild based on relative flood safety (which doesn't seem to be a consideration at all in the plan, except to the extent that they seem to be assuming people won't want to move back into really unsafe areas...which I doubt will work. people are attached to neighborhoods because that's their home. Not because of how safe it is compared to the neighborhood over. Their house isn't in the neighborhood over).

Am I just not getting the nuances here?

Also, I had no idea that Harry Anderson owned a bar in New Orleans. Awesome.

even more interesting is that the space that the bar is in used to be a punk/goth club a la cbgb's, and he bought it when the whole thing went bust because of back taxes, bankruptcy, something like that. ALL the punk kids hated him, thinking the place was closing BECAUSE he bought it. one night he was walking down the street, before the place had even opened, and 2 kids jumped him and slammed him head first into a wall.

pretty insane, huh.

the_automatik January 12 2006, 15:17:08 UTC

I don't know if I would call El Matador a punk/goth club, but you're right, there was animosity towards him.

recommendation January 12 2006, 15:37:04 UTC

i don't know the city or its spaces. i was simply recounting what was mentioned in articles about the club/the beatdown.

_scarlet_ibis_ January 12 2006, 14:43:22 UTC

Oooh! Neato. Was he nice? Jokey?
Look at you there. You are just the most pleasant fellow.
OR IS IT ALL A FACADE?!
You should write an entry about your dark side one day. :)

cobaltgreen January 12 2006, 18:19:55 UTC

i am quite pleasant actually! no real dark side. i even love my two cats :) he was nice, jokey, fun.
