Sun, 24 June 2007  Fourth in a series of unedited podcasts centered around New Orleans and the IABC International Conference held there June 24-27. In this podcast, Tom reads a poignant essay written by the 5th grade class from St. Paul's Episcopal School which was impacted by Hurricane Katrina, and what they believe should be done to protect the community from a repeat. This picture shows Jeremiah Gardner, his friend, Michael, and Isiah Gardner, all from McComb, Miss. posing in front of a display at the Louisiana Children's Museum, where Tom found the elementary school essay. The parents, Darin and Carol Gardner, gave permission for the kids to be photographed. The Louisiana Children's Museum is located at 420 Julia Street in New Orleans.

Sat, 23 June 2007  Another episode of "Quick 'n Dirty New Orleans." I spotted a special fundraising event that is being held from 8-11 p.m. on Saturday, June 23 at the Contemporary Arts Center. Bourbon and Burlesque--it will offer everything that you want out of an event: bourbon and specialty cocktails, a cigar bar, strolling models, food (cuisine by Bourbon House), a burlesque review and a musical performance by the Troy Sawyer Trio jazz. Best yet: it's a fundraiser for the CAC, so most of the ticket probably is tax deductible! I interviewed CAC Marketing and Public Relations Director Melissa Weber, who talked about this event, and the types of exhibits and events that are more typically held at CAC. Contemprary Arts Center, 900 Camp Street
