BY MISSY WILKINSON

here’s an annual ritual in Baton Rouge, and it goes like this: A bill to ban smoking in bars and casinos is sent to the House and Senate floors and offered up as a sacrifice — practically burned alive on the floor — to ensure that no bill like it shall ever pass. This ritual was performed for several years — until 2014. This year legislators targeted electronic cigarettes, or e-cigs, and banned their sale to minors. One other idea, to include e-cigs in the state’s Smoke-Free Air Act (which prohibits smoking in restaurants and other workplaces), was quickly snuffed out. Despite the political ritual in homage to Big Tobacco, some smoking bans have succeeded. On Aug. 1, a state law (passed in 2013) goes into effect to ensure state college and university campuses have smoke-free policies in place. The University of New Orleans is extending the ban to include all tobacco products (except e-cigs). Private universities have joined in; Tulane’s smoke-free campus policy is effective this semester, and Loyola has formed a committee of students, faculty and staff to draft a smoke- and tobacco-free campus policy for fall 2015. Recent smoking bans — not unlike the ones immolated in Baton Rouge — already are being instituted in several Louisiana cities and parishes. In Alexandria, Monroe, West Monroe and all of Ouachita Parish, smoking is prohibited in bars and near public buildings. If New Orleans City Council District B Councilwoman LaToya Cantrell has her way, New Orleans could be next.

You all should know, Jay-Z has a specific sprinkle he likes and would not eat his gelato without that sprinkle on top.

Landrieu’s support for the ordinance as a public health measure is consistent with legislation he helped draft as a member of the state Legislature that funded the creation of the Louisiana Cancer Research Consortium in 2002. The consortium created a partnership with LSU Health Sciences Center, Tulane University Health Sciences Center, Xavier University and Ochsner Health System — as well as the Louisiana Campaign for Tobacco-Free Living (TFL). The campaign also organized this month’s statewide Smoke-Free Week, which held a series of events in New Orleans to raise awareness about how smoking and secondhand smoke affect health. District A Councilwoman Susan Guidry had pledged to bring up the issue in the City Council, though her previous efforts were met with little enthusiasm, she said. Following Cantrell’s announcement earlier this month, Guidry said she’ll stand behind her. PAGE 8

Cantrell plans to introduce legislation in November to ban smoking in bars and public buildings in New Orleans. She has the support of Mayor Mitch Landrieu as well as several of her fellow council members. “We’re seeing trends throughout the city that are driven by bar owners themselves,” Cantrell told Gambit. “Bars across the city are recognizing the trend [and] the immediate need for New Orleans to be a healthier city. ... They are showing other bar owners that this can be done, to no negative impact to the business, and they’re not losing patrons but gaining them.” Cantrell previewed her plan at an April 24 City Council meeting when the City Council recognized smoke-free bars and Bertha Bradley, a nonsmoker who suffers from lung disease and is owner of Bertha’s Place bar. “I’m honored and proud to honor … the bars who have on their own gone smoke-free. It’s a movement I champion 100 percent,” Cantrell said at the meeting. “The only way to prevent [diseases caused by secondhand smoke] is to become smoke-free.”

“I absolutely will support an ordinance to ban smoking in bars,” she wrote in an email to Gambit. “I am ecstatic to see that Councilmember Cantrell is taking this on now and stand ready to support her in any way I can. New Orleans is among the few major cities in America that still allow smoking in bars, and I think it’s time for us to take this important step toward becoming a healthier city.” District E Councilman James Gray also will support the measure. “Grown people are free to do what grown people want to do as long as they don’t interfere with other people. We have a right to restrict what people do in public spaces,” he said in an email to Gambit. “I’ve had two uncles die from lung cancer. I suspect that my father’s early death was greatly due to smoking. It’s an issue that I’ve been concerned about for a long time.” Councilman-At-Large Jason Williams, however, did not say whether he would support Cantrell, indicating he liked the current system of letting bar owners decide. “Though I am a nonsmoker, I think those decisions should be left to the individual business owner,” he wrote in an email to Gambit. Council President Stacy Head, District D council member Jared Brossett and Nadine Ramsey — whose District C covers the bar-heavy French Quarter and Faubourg Marigny — did not respond to Gambit’s request for comment. Cantrell, however, told Gambit she anticipates support from a majority of City Council members.

For Smoke-Free Week, Cantrell coordinated with the statewide Healthier Air for All campaign under TFL, which keeps a running list of bars that are going smoke-free on its website. It counts more than 100 bars in the New Orleans area, and the number is climbing. Winston’s Pub & Patio — once a haven for cigar smokers — now has “no smoking” signs hanging inside and outside its Old Metairie building. The Uptown music venue Maple Leaf Bar, which has hosted weekly smoke-free nights on Wednesdays and at special events, also will go smoke-free this fall. “Smoke-Free Week is the beginning of the movement to make New Orleans healthier,” Cantrell said. “Every bar owner I’ve talked to that’s not smokefree has said, ‘You know what, we’re for it.’ From Rock Bottom Lounge on Tchoupitoulas to Silky’s [Uptown], I’ve been in the barrooms. … We’re not trying to hit them off-guard but share with them what the focus is.” Cantrell said the measure intends to protect the health of workers as well as customers. The Louisiana Smoke-Free Air Act was enacted in 2007 and prohibits smoking in most

public spaces and work places — including restaurants. According to TFL Associate Director Tonia Moore, Cantrell’s legislation will follow a model ordinance from Americans for Nonsmokers’ Rights, which has helped draft similar legislation across the country. “We have workers who are not protected, as far as their health and well-being is concerned,” Moore told Gambit. “It’s the bar and casino workers as well. They’re not protected by the state’s smoke-free air act.” According to TFL, bar and casino workers are exposed to more than 300 percent higher levels of secondhand smoke than any other occupational or demographic group. In 2011, Stephen and Pauline Patterson, owners of the Mid-City bar Finn McCool’s Irish Pub, conducted a “social experiment” by hosting a smoke-free day, and they’ve done so off and on since, having smoking and non-smoking days. Smoking, however, is not at all allowed at Treo, the Pattersons’ new craft cocktail lounge on Tulane Avenue, which opened with a no-smoking policy. And when the Bridge Lounge in the Lower Garden District closed and reopened recently as a more upscale bar called Barrel Proof, smokers were sent out to the sidewalk. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates 23.9 percent of Louisianans are smokers. Wade Duty with the Louisiana Casino Association said that figure for casino customers is “much higher.” Duty said if a citywide ban on smoking also includes prohibiting smoking in casinos, “We’ll see an immediate and irrevocable loss of revenue, loss of jobs and loss of tax dollars.” Wade said smokers at bars have more flexibility as to venues; if a bar decides to go smoke-free, they can go to any number of bars, or smoke outside, whereas smokers at casinos have fewer options. A ban, he said, could send them outside Orleans Parish to gamble and drink. “When you have investment, you can’t afford latitude,” he said. At least one other state’s experience bears out Duty’s concern. A 2009 report from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis compared the effects of a smoking ban in Illinois on its casino revenue to those of similar markets in other states without a smoking ban. It found that revenues in Illinois declined by more than 20 percent after casinos there went smoke-free. (Cantrell has not said whether she will include casinos in her local legislation.) Moore said TFL anticipates some opposition to Cantrell’s measure from tobacco and gaming industries. Cantrell said she’s ready for it. “It’s the right thing to do,” she said.

Angels Convent in Bywater, New Orleans Police Department (NOPD) 5th District Commander Christopher Goodly told the crowd he’s understaffed. “When I came in 2011, I had 112 officers on staff when I walked through the door,” Goodly said. “Right now I’m at 79.” Police Chief Ronal Serpas and Orleans Parish District Attorney Leon Cannizzaro were there as well. After the meeting, Serpas told Gambit that even though it might seem like change is slow, a lot is happening. “We get about a half a million calls a year,” Serpas said. “That’s quite a few calls. A lot of our narcotics work, people don’t know we’re doing it, because that’s how we do it. A lot of it is undercover work. It’s moving around narcotics dealers in disadvantaged positions. So there’s more than one thing going on at a time.” Ramsey told Gambit she was pleased with the level of participation, and that as the council goes into budget hearings for 2015 she will bring with her a number of the issues raised, including officer pay raises and recruitment. “We can’t police our way out of crime,” she said, adding she would support more community building and educational programs aimed at keeping people safe. The crowd two nights later at St. Jude Community Center in the French Quarter was larger and their comments more biting — many related to the June 29 shootings on Bourbon Street that left one person dead and nine injured. COPS 8, the organization that supports the officers of the NOPD’s 8th District (which includes the French Quarter), passed out signs to show solidarity with officers protecting the neighborhood, though organizer Ken Caron told Gambit he was generally mistrustful of what Serpas and police officials had to say at the meeting. “The 8th District [Station] was basically in horrible repair before last year, and we basically renovated it at no cost to the taxpayers,” Caron said. “It helps morale. We feed the officers during major events because they’re working 12-, 15-hour shifts ... We don’t have enough people on the streets. They’re passing out Kool-Aid, is what it is.

Operation Save America protests in New Orleans

Mayor issues certificate of thanks for group’s ‘outstanding service’

“WHERE THE UNUSUAL IS COMMONPLACE.”

GAMBIT > BESTOFNEWORLEANS.COM > JULY 29 > 2014

5101 W. ESPLANADE AVE. METAIRIE, LA 70006 504-885-4956 • 800-222-4956

While pro-choice advocates gathered for a vigil and rally in front of City Hall July 24, anti-abortion protestors allied with Operation Save America stood on a nearby hill and shouted “Stop the killing of innocent babies.” Operation Save America, a renamed version of the 1980s group Operation Rescue, descended on New Orleans last week to spread its pro-life message. The group’s members interrupted a memorial service at First Unitarian Universalist Church Uptown and have picketed the homes of three abortion providers across the state. The city of New Orleans welcomed the group with a recognition of outstanding service to the city signed by Mayor Mitch Landrieu, a certificate the mayor’s office now says was issued in error. That answer, though, was unsatisfying to rally attendees. Amy Irvin, a founding board member of the New Orleans Abortion Fund, told Gambit she would like to see Landrieu make a public statement about the mixup. “We would like for him to ask that the certificates be returned and so far we haven’t seen that,” she said. “We did make some inquiries today, calling the office to see, and we didn’t get any response about that.” Other activists held signs that demanded an apology from the mayor. Aside from the political conflict, Irvin said, the purpose of the rally was to give women a space to tell their own stories. “It’s important for people to see and hear that, because abortion is a very stigmatizing thing,” she says. “Women are shamed and feel guilty about a legal procedure.” Duvergne Gaines, the director of the National Clinic Access Project of the Feminist Majority Foundation and a rally organizer, said she was confused about Operation Save America’s targeting of Planned Parenthood, which doesn’t currently provide abortions in the state of Louisiana. To women across the state, Gaines had this message: “Wherever

you are, no matter what your choice is, that is the right choice. You should feel no shame.” As testimonies went on and pro-life advocates began talking about “the day of judgment,” members of the Unitarian Universalists sang “We are standing on the side of love” to drown out their proclamations. Ken Scott, a pro-life advocate from Denver, told Gambit, “We’re trying to evangelize these people, because there’s a greater storm than Katrina that’s coming. ... In the Bible, when God’s people went against God, he always generally took life for life. So instead of a 9/11, I think probably, who knows how much time we have left. In the next couple of years, maybe a third of America will be gone.” — JEANIE RIESS

All the news that doesn’t fit

• U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu picked up a musical endorsement last week in her bid to retain her Senate seat — that of New Orleans jazz legend Ellis Marsalis. Marsalis recorded an “I’m With Mary” ad, praising Landrieu and saying, “She doesn’t have any problems working across the aisle.” Meanwhile, less than a week after dropping out of the race for Landrieu’s Senate seat, State Rep. Paul Hollis, R-Covington, announced he was endorsing Landrieu’s main opponent, U.S. Rep. Bill Cassidy, R-Baton Rouge. “Together, we can end the Obama/Landrieu agenda that’s destroying this country,” Hollis wrote in his endorsement letter. • Louisiana politicians can’t get enough duck-related publicity. U.S. Sen. David Vitter appeared at the Ducks Unlimited State Convention in Baton Rouge July 18, where he was a guest judge for the group’s “Roadkill Cookoff.” It’s a tailgating event where the main dish isn’t really scraped off the side of the highway. The winning team received a stuffed armadillo. • Mayor Mitch Landrieu’s long shot bid to lure CBS’ The Late Show to New Orleans when Stephen Colbert takes the reins from David Letterman next year was officially doused last week when CBS announced the show would stay in New York’s Ed Sullivan Theater. The show will receive millions in tax credits from New York. — KEVIN ALLMAN

COMMENTARY

thinking out loud

An ugly week ike many municipalities, the City of New Orleans hands out ceremonial proclamations and letters of welcome to citizens and visitors. Getting an official welcome to town is reserved for groups and conventions, but anyone can apply for a ceremonial proclamation, as long as the reason fits in one of the city’s six categories: organizational honors; church and pastoral anniversaries; retirements; heroic deeds; a 100th birthday; or “outstanding community service by an individual, group or organization.” The anti-abortion group Operation Save America (OSA), which enjoys federal nonprofit status, apparently applied for an official city proclamation for its recent national event in New Orleans, which was held July 19-26. Like many other groups, OSA received the requested proclamation, which commended the group for its “outstanding service to the City of New Orleans.” It carried the signature of Mayor Mitch Landrieu. A simple web search might have alerted the mayor’s office that issuing the proclamation was not a good idea. Operation Save America is the 21st century name of Operation Rescue, a group founded in the 1980s and well-known for

Not surprisingly, OSA members also made themselves known at the site of the soon-to-be-built Planned Parenthood clinic on South Claiborne Avenue — where many have come to protest and pray since construction of the clinic was announced. Others erected huge signs on South Carrollton Avenue at the entrance to the Fontainebleau neighborhood, and still more picketed homes of what they said were clinic workers as part of “public awareness campaigns.” Some OSA members held a public funeral in Jackson Square for what they claimed was an aborted fetus. None of these are new tactics for OSA. The group’s leader, the Rev. Flip Benham, was arrested in 2010 for protesting inside a church in Charlotte, North Carolina. In 2011, a jury convicted him of stalking after he handed out “WANTED” posters depicting the face of a Charlotte doctor. New Orleans is a famously tolerant city, and proclamations are an appropriate way to welcome all kinds of groups — as long as the visitors understand that tolerance is a two-way street, one that is paved with mutual respect. We recognize and support everyone’s First Amendment rights, but a quick check of OSA’s

its aggressive tactics against abortion clinics and providers, as well as its thirst for publicity and confrontation. Moreover, there was ample evidence online that OSA wasn’t coming to town for jazz and beignets. “The devil has been partying in New Orleans for quite a while now, and God’s church is coming to the party,” OSA boasted on its website. “I wonder how the gates of hell will fare when the church of Jesus Christ shows up at the doorstep?” The group began its Sunday in New Orleans by going Uptown to the First Unitarian Universalist Church, where OSA claims to have “presented the truth of the Gospel in this synagogue of Satan.” Members of OSA protested and disrupted proceedings inside the church during the Unitarian Universalists’ service, which particularly upset the New Orleans church because the first outburst took place during a moment of silence for a recently deceased parishioner. “It was a traumatic experience for all who were there,” wrote the church’s Bill McDade. “Our church leadership and members acted with great strength, love and support of each other as they peacefully gathered and escorted the disruptive group from the sanctuary.”

history would have shown that it is not a tolerant or respectful organization. The group specifically came to New Orleans to protest in offensive ways — and, in the process, it consumed a lot of New Orleans Police Department time and effort. After our reporting partner Robert Morris first reported news of the proclamation on his website, UptownMessenger. com, people reacted with outrage on social media. A petition demanding the city rescind the proclamation reached 1,000 signatories (many from the Unitarian Universalist church) within 24 hours. Soon after, the Landrieu administration issued a statement, which said in part, “It is customary for the City to provide standard proclamations to visiting groups that request them through the City’s website. To be clear, the City does not endorse extreme or violent tactics, and this proclamation was issued in error. Any group can exercise their constitutional rights, but all of us have a responsibility to do so in a respectful manner.” That was not the case with OSA, and it would have been easy to see this controversy coming. Going forward, we hope City Hall will check the background of any group seeking an official welcome.

Our ‘bedrock’ problem onservatives and liberals will always debate the efficacy of government programs and the proper role of government, but there’s no arguing that public policy (or lack thereof) significantly affects people’s quality of life — for better or for worse. Proof of that comes every year in the form of the annual “Kids Count Data Book” published by the Annie E. Casey Foundation. The Baltimore-based foundation is a private charitable organization that aspires to help build better futures for disadvantaged children in the U.S. The report, now in its 25th year, tracks how America’s kids are doing, state by state, across four major areas: economic well-being, education, health and family, and community. It should come as no surprise that Louisiana consistently ranks near the bottom when it comes to the well-being

these data or surrounding facts that such will change,” he wrote on his blog. Despite the fact that Louisiana’s overall poverty rate has been cut in half since 1960, things could actually backslide. “[G]iven the relative paucity of government spending in the foreseeable future,” Stonecipher concluded, “it will likely take hard work to hold this progress.” In an email exchange, he expanded on that theme. “All low-hanging fruit was pretty much picked” by the feds’ war on poverty, he noted. “Everything since then is bedrock, locked-in poverty, seemingly impervious to further reduction in the South … a cultural distinction.” The “Kids Count” report supports the notion that well-run government programs can help. Two examples stand out, and they reflect rare good news about the well-being of Louisiana children: Our state has one of America’s lowest rates

Louisiana consistently ranks near the bottom when it comes to the well-being of our kids. of uninsured children (5 percent), and we rank eighth nationally in the percentage of kids enrolled in pre-school. Both bits of good news can be traced to state government programs. The LaCHIP kids’ health insurance program is a national model, one to which Gov. Bobby Jindal should point with pride — except that, technically, it was an expansion of Medicaid, which we all know he now opposes. But the truth is undeniable; as Louisiana health secretary under thenGov. Mike Foster, Jindal championed LaCHIP. Similarly, Louisiana’s relatively high pre-K enrollment reflects state policies encouraging early childhood education. My point is not that government can (or should) solve all our problems, but rather that public policies and programs can and often do make a significant difference in people’s lives. But, as Stonecipher and others note, just as often there is a “bedrock” level of poverty, ignorance and every other societal ill that no level of governmental spending will ever cure. Hopefully, we can at least find a way to get Louisiana out of the bottom 10 percent, especially where our kids are concerned.

of our kids. There were pockets of good news in the latest report, but both the good and bad news support the notion that government programs can have a dramatic impact on kids’ welfare — up to a point. Elliott Stonecipher, a Shreveport demographer and veteran observer of Louisiana politics, recently drew the same conclusion upon reading the latest “Kids Count” report — which ranked Louisiana 47th among the 50 states and the District of Columbia. Noting in his online column that the report once again highlights Louisiana’s (and the South’s) “poverty problem,” Stonecipher mined U.S. Census data since 1960 (before the federal “War on Poverty”) and found some interesting facts. For example, in 1960 a staggering 39.5 percent of all people in Louisiana lived in poverty. The rate in other southern states was comparable — five of them had higher rates. In 2012, Census data show that 19.9 percent of Louisianans live in poverty. That’s a dramatic reduction over five decades, although Louisiana still ranks near the bottom compared to other states. (Stonecipher confirmed that the numbers are adjusted for inflation.) But can Louisiana’s poverty rate get even lower? Stonecipher says he’s not optimistic. “Our poverty problem has always been with us, and there is no suggestion in

BLAKE PONTCHARTRAIN™ Questions for Blake: askblake@gambitweekly.com

Hey Blake, My dad, a Cajun raised on the bayou, told me he remembers when wild crayfish were so plentiful they would cover country roads during heavy rains. They were considered a pest instead of a food source. Which was the first restaurant in New Orleans to serve them and when? Beandaymonday

Dear Beandaymonday,

At one time, Dixie brewery in New Orleans produced Dixie 45, which could have been inspired by its advertising motto “One Brewery, 45 Brands.” There are other legends about the source of the name. P H O T O B Y I N F R O G M AT I O N /C R E AT I V E C O M M O N S

Hey Blake,

I have read in several places how Dixie 45 beer got its name, something about a bartender who kept a Colt 45 pistol behind the bar. As a teenager, however, I heard it was named Dixie 45 because

it contained 4.5 percent alcohol and that the name was changed when the U.S. government made breweries reduce the alcohol content of the beer, possibly due to Prohibition. What’s the true story? Roy L. Mehrtens

Dear Roy,

Dixie Brewery, founded by Valentine Merz, was built in 1907 at 2401 Tulane Ave. It advertised its brewing diversity as “One Brewery, 45 Brands,” a successful marketing strategy until Prohibition (1920-1933). In response to Prohibition, the name of the brewery was changed to Dixie Beverage Company, and during this time it manufactured malt extract and powder, as well as sodas. It returned to brewing beer in 1934 under the name Dixie Brewing Company. Perhaps the 45 comes from the former advertising motto, but legend has it that Merz visited nearby Nick’s Bar, where owner Nick Castrogiovanni told him that Dixie had a kick like a .45 pistol. Appreciating the compliment, Merz created the Dixie 45 brand. In 1985, Joe and Kendra Bruno bought the Dixie brewery, but the company filed for bankruptcy four years later. The brewery later introduced Dixie Blackened Voodoo Lager and turned a profit by the mid-1990s. The brewery on Tulane Avenue has been vacant since Hurricane Katrina, and Dixie currently is produced in Wisconsin. In 2011, the state of Louisiana invoked eminent domain, seized the shuttered brewery and sold it to Louisiana State University. LSU transferred ownership rights to the Veterans Administration, which plans to open a recovery center and research facility at the site. The Brunos fought for three years to save the structure, but their latest request for an injunction was denied in January. Part of the building is being demolished, but some elements of the historic structure may be preserved.

Crawfish, mudbugs, crawdaddies, crayfish (not a term used here), ecrivesses — whatever you call them, they’re a delicacy in south Louisiana. Native Americans were the first to munch on crawfish, but the Acadians (later called Cajuns) discovered the crustaceans when they settled in south Louisiana in the 1700s, after the British forced them to leave their homes in present-day Nova Scotia. The first record of a commercial harvest was in 1880. By the 1950s, the crawfish trap replaced nets but unpredictable factors such as weather meant the supply was not consistent. In the late 1950s, crawfish farms were created by reflooding rice fields after harvests. There also were crawfish farms in Arkansas, California and Texas, but Louisiana remains the leading producer in the U.S. It’s difficult to say which local restaurant served crawfish first. Author Sam Irwin shares his extensive research on the topic in his book, Louisiana Crawfish: A Succulent History of the Cajun Crustacean. He found a 1906 menu from Antoine’s Restaurant, which offered Ecrivesses Cardinal. He also found a recipe for crawfish bisque in the 1885 cookbook La Cuisine Creole by Lafcadio Hearn, an eccentric author who traveled around the world and recorded his observations. Hearn’s inclusion of the recipe could indicate that restaurants were cooking the dish at that time. Breaux Bridge, which bills itself as the “Crawfish Capitol of the World,” had restaurants serving crawfish in the 1920s. In 1960, the town hosted the first crawfish festival, and it claims to have had the first restaurant to put crawfish etouffee on the menu.

ew Orleans is a great place to drink. You’ll have adventures, you’ll be surrounded by witty, sexy people, and if you’re feeling reckless, the rabbit holes here go so deep that if a pebble or a person gets tossed in one, he or she won’t be heard hitting bottom for years. New Orleans has the best bars in North America; it’s no wonder the city draws thirsty cats from all over looking for a comfortably cool porch under which to finish dying. New Orleans gave me more than I could handle. After years of kidding myself, I accepted that the only way for me to drink less was to quit drinking altogether. I’d always considered people who didn’t drink to be psychological cripples, at best uptight or constitutionally weak, at worst deliberately dull: individuals so afraid of themselves they cut themselves off from pleasure, limiting their palette to life’s beiges and grays. Five years sober, I find that assessment to have been accurate. I experience my sobriety as a disability, and being sober in New Orleans has been

I experience my sobriety as a disability, and being sober in New Orleans has been a process of adaptation: learning what’s possible, learning workarounds, learning my own limits.

sure to order something, so I can contribute to the venue and tip the bartender.”

On Sept. 15, 2009, I declared myself really sober, sober-forreal, and sent out a bunch of intense text messages about it. That evening I attended a downtown theater production so poisonously self-congratulatory and irrelevant that, fleeing the show during intermission, I felt I had to either get drunk or kill myself. No other responses seemed possible; the show was unsurvivably, terminally terrible. A few days later I got myself together and got sober again. I was embarrassed to have stumbled so soon, but it was an important lesson: Without the armor of alcohol, I am histrionically sensitive to bad art. Lazy or uninterestingly inarticulate art, art that comes from a place of complacency, psyschologically dishonest art — all are intensely triggering for me. This makes post-Katrina New Orleans a minefield; I avoid St. Claude on gallery night. Identifying what triggers your cravings is a crucial piece of sobriety. To the degree that anything in my indolent lifestyle resembles work, being actively engaged in some activity, paid or otherwise, gives the desire to drink less space in my consciousness — but then, I don’t work in our city’s exploitative service industry. How do you survive waiting tables without drinking? “Barely,” according to Carley, a veteran waitress most recently employed at a family restaurant on Magazine Street. “Barely, if at all. Inevitably you slip up, because the pressure is too hard. Nine of the 10 times I’ve fallen off the wagon, it was after a hard night at the restaurant. Nothing sits on my tongue worse than being yelled at by my boss, and nothing drives me to drink like work. “If it was busy and I worked hard, that hits me at a chemical level — my blood sugar, dehydration, all

those things drive me to want to drink. But more often, it’s the searing abuse. Being disrespected makes me want to drink, and waiting tables, it’s constant. If you made a chart of work that was meaningless and work where you got mistreated, the service industry would be the apex of those crossing lines: pointlessness and abuse. ... It can’t be worth treating people like this over anything, let alone over getting jalapeno poppers to a table.” One of modern life’s biggest challenges is alienation, felt frequently as loneliness or a sense of being isolated in whatever literal or figurative way from other people, for instance being sober in a situation where everyone else is drunk. “Big events like Mardi Gras have lost a lot of their luster,” a sober French Quarter retail employee told me. “I wish I could enjoy these iconic New Orleans situations without having a drink in my hand, but it’s tough when just walking through the streets there’s a good chance of someone spilling alcohol on you. If you kiss someone, their breath reeks of it. Going between Point A and Point B during any holiday, you have to exercise a lot of patience and self-restraint that you wouldn’t have to if you were wasted.” I spoke with Alex, a sober friend who works in investment and keeps a busy calendar of high-end, relatively exclusive Uptown social events. I was curious whether he felt being sober held him back socially or professionally. “Ninety-nine percent of the time it’s a non-issue,” he told me. “Most people really don’t care what’s in your cup, as long as you’re holding one.” To the contrary, he finds sobriety gives him an edge. “If I had two drinks, I would probably have 14, regardless of the situation. Even at an event where I should have been paying attention to the people around me, to get their business, I would get too drunk and forget their names. So I think it’s actually helped me in social situations that I’m sober.” I got the opposite answer from my waitress friend. “Not being able to go drinking with your coworkers is a setback,” she said. “It costs you that feeling of camaraderie, which is really important PAGE 21

dim lighting, with daylight peeking through the windows. It relaxes me, and probably always will.” I’ve known multiple sober bartenders, including bar owners who work at their own establishment. It seems to me completely insane, but Addison, a sober New Orleans bartender who works on St. Claude Avenue, assured me it isn’t so bad. “You’re around a lot of people with drinking problems — immersed in the tragedy of it,” he said. The presence of multiple Ghosts of Christmas Future has a deterrent effect. “With so many fargone drinkers all around you, you’re like ‘Oh, right, that’s what I’d look like if I was drinking. Or that. Or that. Or that in a year or two.’ You have access to all the booze in the world, so it’s not as interesting.” My friend Dave, a stalwart of the New Orleans punk scene, is “straight edge” (punkers who abstain from alcohol, tobacco and recreational drugs). He not only doesn’t drink alcohol, he doesn’t do any drugs at all. With DIY and all-ages venues an endangered species, I wondered how it was being straight edge in a city whose punk shows are so often inside bars. “At first I probably thought that people noticed [me not drinking] more than they did,” Dave said, “but it turns out other people really don’t care what you do or don’t do. As I’ve gotten older, I make an active effort to contribute to bars I go to, out of respect for the bartenders and service industry folks. I learned which bars have Abita root beer on tap, which have sparkling water. I always make

in a workplace. And there’s an economic aspect: To succeed in the service industry here you have to negotiate these interdependent relationships. Going to the bar together is part of that. There are two kinds of French Quarter bars: bars for tourists, and bars for people who serve tourists. One doesn’t exist without the other. Going to the bar after work is almost like part of the job. “I’d compare drinking and waiting tables to the Marxist-feminist concept of reproductive labor. In the same way a factory worker might have a spouse at home cooking, cleaning and doing laundry for them, and that’s an off-site, unpaid part of the factory chain of exploited labor, drinking after work is an action you take in order to create the condition in which your body can continue to serve capitalism.”

COVER STORY

Parties are the next-biggest alcohol-powered pressurecooker. Sober, you learn to show up unfashionably early, buying yourself a little time for conversation before everyone else is entirely sauced. “I always leave whatever the event is by midnight at the absolute latest,” Alex told me. “11:30 or 12 is when people really get sloppy and it stops being fun.” You learn to bring your own non-alcoholic drinks to parties; it’s that, or endless glasses of tap water. Depending on the circles in which you move, the person throwing the party may be sensitive to your condition, in which case you become like one of those people with a suspiciously contrived food allergy. The host’s eyes dance with self-congratulation as she presents you whatever non-alcoholic beverage she procured specially for you, a little cup of Special Olympics bronze medal you can grip and sip just like the big kids.

Parties stop being a great way to get laid: Drunk people can’t give consent, especially not to some creep who hasn’t had a single drink all night. If you persist in going to parties, eventually, inevitably, perhaps early on and frequently, you will be propositioned by a drunk person you find attractive. Sexually rejecting someone you want to sleep with is a thankless ordeal, but it’s that or being a rapist; there is no third choice. A sober person having sex with a drunk person is rape. There will be people you want to sleep with who are drunk all the time. You can’t ever sleep with them. My friend Megan, who’s sober, recently broke up with her partner, who had an extreme drinking problem. Could she date a casual drinker, though? “I don’t want to sound snide,” she said, “but I don’t know that many casual drinkers in New Orleans. I think I could date someone who drank in a less self-destructive way. If you can’t find a way to be comfortable around people who drink, you’re gonna have a miserable time overall.” For all you lose being sober, there are things you gain, including a sometimes merciless clarity. “Alcoholism extends beyond your relationship to alcohol,” a sober friend who works in the DIY theater scene told me. “I recognize alcoholic tendencies now in my social group that don’t even necessarily occur while drinking: people

While the very notion of parenthood makes me want to reach for the bottle, for some it has the opposite effect. I spoke with Khaila, a recent first-time mom who’s also a doula in New Orleans. “When I found out I was pregnant, I stopped drinking right away,” she said. “That was the plan: no more for the next seven or eight months. But like most people, I was already four to eight weeks pregnant by the time I found out, and I’d been drinking and more during that period, so I think some of my zeal had to do with absolving my guilt. “I’m a pretty heavy social drinker, so when I was out and about without a drink people immediately noticed. They got it right away: ‘You don’t have a drink? You’re pregnant, aren’t you?’ “My decision changed throughout pregnancy. When I first found myself breaking down and having a glass of wine I felt so guilty about it, and if you’re drinking while you’re visibly pregnant, that feels very taboo. But talking it over with other moms and my friends, toward the end

New Orleans is a hell of a challenging place in which not to drink, but it still offers experiences nowhere else can. Somewhat to my surprise, it’s possible to build a life around those experiences without alcohol. Living here sober is strange, but if you live here, it’s unlikely to be the strangest thing about you.

needing more and more space for their feelings to be validated, more and more space claimed for their terrible self-esteems. I’m not saying we shouldn’t be sympathetic, but there doesn’t seem to be a limit to it. That strikes me as very alcoholic. “So many people I know here have serious drinking problems. People come to you over and over, talking about how they feel terrible in the mornings, they’re crippled by anxiety and depression — and the common factor is alcohol. But in the past year, the majority of my core circle of friends have dramatically reduced the amount they drink. It’s a weird, crotchety renaissance. People are ready to admit their bodies just can’t handle the way we used to drink in the past.”

of my pregnancy, it became a thing I felt justified in: I am allowed to have this one beer, I am allowed to have this glass of wine. The [American Medical Association] says no, but they treat pregnant women like vessels. In other parts of the world pregnant women carry on with their normal lives. “The people in the birth-work community are about half and half. Either it’s ‘Of course you don’t drink!’ or ‘Those people are idiots; of course you can have a glass of wine.’ It’s a little adversarial. I will recommend to the moms I work with that since pregnancy is stressful and isolating, especially for first-time parents, if they want to sit in the bathtub and have a glass of wine, they deserve it. “But it’s hard to have one glass of wine. It’s hard to have one beer, especially when you’re out and about and everyone else gets to have five or 10. For me that one drink was my compromise: I wasn’t satisfied with a glass of wine, but I felt like I was at least not denying myself entirely.” Even New Orleans’ famous laissez-faire has limits, especially when it comes to womens’ decisions over their own bodies. “When I had a glass of wine while eight or nine months pregnant, I could feel the eyes burning into the back of my head,” Khaila said. “I was taking good care of myself and doing this really good job with my pregnancy, and all these barflies were judging me so hard. It really pissed me off.” She wasn’t off the hook post-delivery. “There were all these jokes and greeting cards about how I was going to have martinis in the delivery room, but it wasn’t like that,” she said. “It’s hard to drink while you’re nursing, and that’s frustrating. On the flip side, for being such a drunken city, New Orleans has so much going on: art and culture, day and night. During my pregnancy was when I really got into going to second lines. While pregnant, or with a little baby, I could be sober and dance in the sunshine with everyone else. Instead of a day sacrificed to a hangover, Sunday became the best day of my week.”

Phan says spring rolls are the most popular item. “We specialize in our spring rolls,” he says. “We have probably almost a dozen different types, from our shrimp and avocado spring rolls to our samba rolls.” Phan says Rolls-NBowls’ location helps the restaurant thrive because it brings a practical casual dining option to a part of Metairie that lacked Vietnamese cuisine choices. He also attributes the success of Rolls-N-Bowls to its convenience. “It’s healthy and fast,” Phan says. “If you’re trying to grab a quick bite … you can be in and out in about 30 minutes, even when we’re packed … We do a lot of takeout and [the restaurant] is really packed during lunch time.”

While Phan is proud of the restaurant’s success, he says the business prioritizes its family relationships. “The whole family’s involved,” Phan says. “It’s not so much about the money. It’s more about having family that we can pass [the restaurant] along to, the recipes, and having everybody try the food.”

amily recipes are often closely guarded secrets; however, the recipes at family owned and operated Vietnamese restaurant Rolls-N-Bowls (605 Metairie Road, Metairie, 504-3090519; www.rollsnbowlsnola.com) serve as a living cookbook. “[Rolls-N-Bowls] mostly revolves around my mother-in-law, [Sam Vu] — making sure we keep her recipes, are able to pass down her cooking and that the family continues doing it,” says owner Ricky Phan. A fixture in the restaurant business for more than 30 years and former owner of two West Bank restaurants, matriarch Vu inspired her children to open RollsN-Bowls last year. Rolls-N-Bowls offers quick, authentic Vietnamese cuisine in a casual atmosphere. “We wanted to do Vietnamese food, but [offer] quicker service,” Phan says. “Instead of having a big Vietnamese menu, we trimmed [it] down … to the most popular items, and we pieced it together so we can do it really quick and get it out.” Customers pass square white tables and tall orange bar stools as they cross the restaurant to order from a luminescent menu board on the wall over the register.

Red meatropolitan Doris Metropolitan is a cosmopolitan steak house in the French Quarter. By Sarah Baird

Kebab (2315 St. Claude Ave., 504-3834328; www.kebabnola.com) is now open in an eye-catching, primary colored building on St. Claude Avenue. Inspired by the German street food popular from Berlin to Strasbourg, Kebab’s namesake sandwich, the doner kebab, anchors a small menu. Kebab’s take on the dish features spit-fired rotisserie pork, cucumbers, cabbage and a choice of skhug (spicy cilantro sauce), tzatziki or other sauces. A falafel dish and jalapeno roasted pork sandwich (the daily special) round out the entrees, and side options include Belgian fries, hummus and salad. Kebab’s space is part dining area, part art gallery, with colorful work by local artists covering one half of the building and a thin wall separating it from the dining space. The restaurant is open from 3 p.m. to midnight Friday through Monday. Kebab is currently BYOB, with cocktail set-ups available. — SARAH BAIRD

New Orleans chef and TV personality Emeril Lagasse (www.emerils. com) entered the tortilla chip market. In partnership with CoPak Solutions (www.copaksolutions.com) — an organic, kosher, gluten-free tortilla chip company based in North Carolina — Lagasse launched a line of three loosely New Orleans-flavored tortilla chips: Bam! BBQ, Essence and Sweet Potato. The chips are packaged in understated, color-blocked bags with a large picture of Lagasse on the front. The flavors seem promising, but the two I sampled — Bam! BBQ and Essence — were lackluster, with dull, washed-out seasoning. Bam! BBQ is the better of the two, with a slight mesquite sweetness. The chip texture was the most unfortunate part, with an odd density and chewiness that probably wouldn’t hold up well for dipping purposes. — SARAH BAIRD

ew Orleans isn’t primarily known for its commitment to beef, but the city has managed to nurture a handful of steak houses that have built identities and followings. On any given night, it’s not unusual to see local politicians hobnobbing at Charlie’s Steak House, professional athletes dining at Mr. John’s Steakhouse, or businessmen digging into a wedge salad at Dickie Brennan’s Steakhouse. New Orleans steak houses are, by and large, comfortably familiar to diners. The latest addition to the scene, Doris Metropolitan, flips the traditional notion of the steak house on its head with the kind of streamlined swankiness that makes the case for reinventing the wheel. Located in the heart of the French Quarter, Doris is the kind of glossy, sleek restaurant that could easily feature a jazz singer belting out standards or a soundtrack of ambient electronic rock with equal success. A dining room heavy on black lacquer and metallic finishes is freshened by frothy bouquets of alstroemeria, with servers applying the kind of attention that makes diners feel coddled. A focal point is the restaurant’s mammoth, glassed-in drying case, where cuts of beef are on view like meaty sculptures or hung like chandeliers. Eating steak is almost synonymous with luxury, and Doris delivers. Unlike many steak houses, Doris dry ages its beef. It’s an expensive, painstaking, weeks-long process that results in meat with a concentrated, nuanced taste and succulent bite. Across the board, Doris’ steaks offer the depth and subtle layers of flavor one would expect from dry aging, but the knockout is the “classified” cut, aptly named because the wait staff keeps mum about what cut of beef it is. (I believe it’s a flank steak.) Order that cut (and others) medium rare to fully enjoy the beef’s complex texture and taste. The dish is described as served with a “potato surprise,” but mine arrived on a bed of earthy mushroom ragout. Some may consider ordering a burger at a steak joint sacrilegious, but the Doris burger has one of the most rich, concentrated beef flavors on the menu, heightened by an unctuous blend of Gorgonzola and Gouda and slathering of caramelized onions and mushrooms. Truffle fries are crisp but overwhelmed by liberal application of truffle oil. Doris would be well-served by taking a lighter touch with truffle oil across the menu, where it comes across like a crutch.

Cocktail throwers, flash mobs, historians, innovators and tastemakers attended Tales of the Cocktail (www.talesofthecocktail) in New Orleans July 16-20. The international convention is for bartenders, spirits writers and liquor producers. Events kicked off with a Harvey Wallbanger flash mob on Royal Street, reviving the 1970s-era highball, essentially a screwdriver with a Galliano float. Here’s what was new and popular this year. • The most memorable drink of this year’s Tales was the Ideal cocktail, served during tiki expert Jeff “Beachbum” Berry and drinks writer David Wondrich’s seminar on La Floridita, the Havana bar where the sublime sipper was created. The Ideal features equal parts dry gin, Italian vermouth and French vermouth, plus grapefruit juice and a trace amount of maraschino liqueur. Elegant, with nutty undertones, it more than lives up to its name. • Lillet was this year’s St. Germain, featured in a well-received citrus-spiced Lillet Rose cobbler. Drinkers also gladly waited 15 minutes or more for the Raspberry Beret, a fun pour of Lillet Rouge, raspberry syrup and club soda topped with Lillet Blanc-infused whipped cream. • VEEV turned its tasting room into a dance club, where bartenders (including Cure’s Ricky Gomez) served drinks showcasing the wheat distillate, which is infused with acai berries and treated like vodka. Guests drank boozy lemonade (VEEV, ginger, lemon, agave, coconut water) and VEEV’s variation of the Ramos Gin Fizz, adding orange marmalade and maple syrup to the mix. • The colonial-era pineapple Syllabub returned to Tales via a seminar tracing alcohol’s influence on the New World presented by drinks writers Wayne Curtis, Derek Brown and J.P. Fetherston. This lively drink is made with pineapple-infused white rum, honey syrup, lemon zest and juice and cream. • Caribbean rum-maker Angostura announced the launch of a molasses-spun amaro in September. The digestif is rich and cardamom-spiced; the brand also created a cocktail pairing with its signature aromatic bitters, plus lemon juice and simple syrup — tart, earthy and worth the wait. • It’s not a cocktail, but St. George’s spiced pear liqueur is gorgeous, making fans eager for the release of its aged apple brandy later this year. • Sandeman port used spiced apple ice cream to add flavor and heft to its Port of Julius, which also featured rum, vanilla and orange juice. • El Dorado rum went slushy two ways, blending its white rum with lemon sorbet, topped by a drizzle of Monin’s blood orange syrup and swirling its dark rum with mango sorbet and raspberry syrup. • Amaro Montenegro served cocktails pairing the amaro with everything from banana liqueur and tequila (very good) to gin and absinthe (not as much). Just for simplicity, nothing beat pouring this juicy, mild-mannered amaro over vanilla ice cream. At Amaro Montenegro’s room, bartender Theo Lieberman riffed on the tiki classic Jungle Bird by swapping out blackstrap rum with Gosling’s rum and dark cacao liqueur, and added the amaro and lime juice. • “Tiki’s a mindset,” a Texas bartender said in a room where fellow Texans re-interpreted tiki in cocktails straying from the Caribbean model of rum, sugar and lime juice. Even the names conjured up the dusty Southwest rather than a Polynesian paradise, such as the Coyote’s Den (VEEV, aquavit, grapefruit, lemon, orgeat, Peychaud’s) and Boots on the Beach (rye and oat whiskeys, pineapple, lemon, coconut water, spiced simple syrup). Unnamed but just as bold was Bacardi Gold rum shaken with peach-sriracha puree and Jarritos orange soda. • Enterprising bar owner Kristian Niemi (of Bourbon Columbia) has a craft response to customers asking for a shot of Fireball: Rittenhouse rye, infused for a week with Chinese tung hing cinnamon sticks. “Even at $4, I make a profit, and my guests get a craft shot and an educated palate,” Niemi says. — ANNE BERRY

3-COURSE interview

Sam Halhuli

Ginger beer maker Sam Halhuli is a bartender and the founder of Huhu’s Ginger Brew (www.huhusgingerbrew. com), a local handcrafted nonalcoholic ginger beer that’s available at a few bars across the city including The Avenue Pub and Twelve Mile Limit. Halhuli spoke with Gambit about his Seattle-based ginger beer inspiration, the best ginger beer cocktail and why Huhu’s prides itself on being spicy.

What was your inspiration for starting Huhu’s?

Do people like the spicy flavor of Huhu’s?

H: When you taste a fresh ginger beer side-by-side with a shelf-stable ginger beer, there’s really no comparison: it’s like night and day. I started out using a lot of different spice and flavor combinations, and I found that I just kept paring it back more and more until I had essentially just the purest form that was ginger juice, lemon juice, sugar and water. It’s very spicy, and when people started drinking it, a lot of them said it was too strong. I said, “Yes, it might be, but put it in a cocktail with the ice and the booze and now taste it.” The heat level is right on. That being said, a lot of people do like to drink it straight out of the bottle. My mom does, I do, it makes your ears tingle with heat and you feel completely invigorated.

What’s your favorite cocktail to make using Huhu’s?

H: I know it sounds boring, but really the Moscow mule is probably the best way to spotlight the spice of the ginger beer. People really seem to like it in a Dark and Stormy as well, or just with whiskey, but vodka allows all the flavor to shine through. I have one drink I named The Cardinal, which is gin, ginger beer, lime and cherry heering, and it’s a really nice drink. It’s actually named after one of the regulars at Twelve Mile Limit, and it ended up being very appropriate because the drink is also red like a cardinal. — SARAH BAIRD

GAMBIT > BESTOFNEWORLEANS.COM > JULY 29 > 2014

Halhuli: I started bartending in 2004 and started working with craft cocktails when I moved back home to Seattle from Bellingham, Washington. Ginger beer is a pretty big thing in Washington, and when I moved down here to New Orleans in 2012 what I immediately missed was fresh ginger beer. There is a girl who launched a line of ginger beer in Seattle, Rachel’s Ginger Beer, and she has it in all the bars and her own line of bars so I was pretty inspired by that. Jubilee Ginger Beer was around in New Orleans for a while but kind of fell off the map after Hurricane Isaac, which is right when I got here. I ended up at Twelve Mile Limit, and I mentioned my idea for doing a ginger beer to the owners. I thought they would look at me like I was crazy, but they told me that there was a draft line behind the bar that worked but wasn’t being used. I hooked it up and started using it for my ginger beer. I couldn’t have fallen into a better situation.

California’s Lagunitas Brewing Company (www. lagunitas.com) is coming to Louisiana in October. The hop-heavy bad boy of beer will be distributed by Crescent Crown, and the release is eagerly anticipated by local beer geeks. In regional news, Yalobusha Brewing, based in Water Valley, Mississippi, also is coming to Louisiana (also distributed by Crescent Crown) and New Orleans area events are scheduled through July 29. “We’re taking New Orleans by storm,” says Yalobusha founder Andy O’Bryan. The rollout includes opening an experimental firkin at The Avenue Pub, having a release party at d.b.a. and tap takeovers at local restaurants including Pizza Domenica and MoPho. Yalobusha brings three flagship beers as well as one of its most coveted special releases. Copperhead Amber Ale is a hoppy amber, the brewery’s biggest seller in Mississippi. O’Bryan says the 4.8 percent alcohol by volume (ABV) River Ale is “unclassifiable,” but he compares it to an extra pale ale. It is fermented with ale yeast but has a grain bill of almost entirely pilsner malt, which gives the beer its easy-drinking characteristics. Mississ-IPA is an approachable, 6 percent ABV IPA dry hopped with Simcoe. The brewery’s bourbon barrel-aged imperial milk stout Testify is released twice a year, in summer and winter. O’Bryan bought the historic Water Valley building to house his brewery in April 2013, and Yolabusha released its first beer in October 2013. “I have an aggressive expansion plan,” O’Bryan says. “By the time we hit our one-year anniversary we’ll be in three states: Louisiana, Mississippi and Tennessee.” He wanted to find a talented, experienced brewer and hired Tony Balzola, who brewed beer for 13 years at McMenamins in Portland, Oregon.

The Tenuta di Arceno estate lies at the heart of Tuscany’s 3,000-year-old culture. The rise of Super Tuscans — wines not limited by the government’s official classification system — has expanded the introduction of grapes beyond the indigenous sangiovese. On Arceno’s 2,500-acre estate, an array of Bordeaux varietals have found a home, particularly cabernet Franc. This blend of 61 percent merlot, 20 percent cabernet sauvignon, 16 percent cabernet Franc, 2 percent sangiovese and 1 percent petit verdot is aged 12 months in 30 percent new French oak. In the glass, it offers savory herbal undertones and aromas of cedar, dried red fruit, ripe blackberry, spice, black pepper and a hint of tobacco. On the palate, taste dark cherry, cassis, plum, bittersweet chocolate, mineral notes and earthiness. Decant an hour before serving. Drink it with osso buco, spaghetti and meatballs, lasagna, grilled or roasted game, beef and veal and hearty cheeses. Buy it at: Elio’s Wine Warehouse and Acquistapace’s Covington Supermarket. Drink it at: Cochon, Doris Metropolitan, Morton’s Steakhouse, Royal Sonesta New Orleans, Mr. John’s Steakhouse, The Italian Barrel, Marcello’s Restaurant & Wine Bar, Amici’s Ristorante & Bar and Nuvolari’s. — BRENDA MAITLAND Email Brenda Maitland at winediva1@bellsouth.net

Sister act “New Orleans’ Cafe Du Monde is a tourist trap, but a necessary one. Locals still eat there and largely recognize its beignets as the best in town, even though the mix is readily available for purchase. Beignets are a deep-fried Creole dessert often said, probably erroneously, to have been brought to Louisiana by Ursuline nuns — though beignets shouldn’t be confused with a similar pastry called pets de nonne, or nun farts.”

terms set by white music. The combination is very powerful.” Other talks at the festival include an introduction to Mosaic Records’ nineCD boxed set of Armstrong recordings by co-producer and Armstrong scholar Ricky Riccardi. In a separate seminar, Riccardi screens footage of Satchmo’s TV appearances in the 1970s. Bruce Raeburn, curator of the Hogan Jazz Archive at Tulane University, discusses the relationship between Storyville, New Orleans’ red-light district, and early jazz musicians and the myth that the district’s official shuttering in 1917 compelled musicians including Armstrong, Jelly Roll Morton and others to leave New Orleans. Michael Cogswell, director of Louis Armstrong House Museum in Queens, New York, explores Armstrong’s love of food through photos, menus Armstrong saved and other personal items. There’s even a scholars all-star band, featuring Riccardi, Raeburn and frequent festival speaker Dan Morgenstern, which will play members’ favorite Armstrong tunes. For a full schedule of seminars, visit www.fqfi.org/satchmo. The festival features three days of free live music on two stages.

n his first two books, Thomas Brothers explores Louis Armstrong’s personal writings (Louis Armstrong: In His Own Words) and the environment and historical forces that shaped Armstrong’s early years (Louis Armstrong’s New Orleans). In his latest book, Louis Armstrong: Master of Modernism, Brothers follows Armstrong to Chicago, where the trumpeter became famous and entered his peak period of creative output. “It’s a decade when he moves from being a musician who is basically an apprentice soloist in 1923 to being an all-star in the South Side of Chicago within the African-American community,” Brothers says. “Then by the end of the decade, he’s starting to step into nationwide white audiences, and by 1932 he has become the best seller in phonograph recordings in the entire country in all genres of music.” Brothers, a music professor at Duke University, discusses Master of Modernism and the pivotal decade in Armstrong’s life in a seminar (11:30 a.m. Friday, Aug. 1) at the Satchmo SummerFest (July 31-Aug. 3). The talk is part of the event’s annual scholarly conference, which is accompanied by three days of music at the Old U.S. Mint, a new photo exhibition and more. In his book, Brothers examines Armstrong’s music, with close looks at many of his early recordings, including “Big Butter and Egg Man,” “Cornet Chop Suey” and “Ain’t Misbehavin’.” The book also examines Armstrong’s increasing fame in the context of social changes, especially African-American migration out of the South to Chicago and northern cities in the 1920s. For Armstrong, jazz went from being music he played in New Orleans street parades to an attraction in Chicago’s refined show business. Armstrong soon moved to New York, where he lived for the rest of his life, sold records prolifically and influenced American popular music. In Master of Modernism, Brothers considers many forces that influenced Louis Armstrong’s musical output, including race. “In the 1920s, African-Americans are moving from the South to the urban North in massive numbers … and they’re looking for some kind of culture that will articulate their upward mobility, and this is exactly what Armstrong provides for them,” Brothers says. “[Armstrong’s] music is so deeply rooted in what I call the African-American vernacular — it’s identifiably black. But it’s also extremely sophisticated, and it can compete with white music on

How many times can Peter Murphy rise from the dead? Only Bela Lugosi knows. The former Bauhaus frontman abandoned his band in 1983 and seemingly peaked as a solo artist with 1989’s Bowie-hungry Deep. Bauhaus’ two attempted reunions, in 1998 and 2005, yielded a rabid single (“The Dog’s a Vapour”) and its first studio LP in 25 years (Go Away White), yet ultimately brought only coffin closure. Murphy resurfaced in 2011 with Ninth, sounding more vital than ever, then made headlines in 2013 for a hit-and-run incident in Los AngePeter Murphy AUG les that resulted in DUI and methamphet8 p.m. Saturday amine possession charges; his subsequent Mr. Moonlight tour oddly celebrated 35 One Eyed Jacks, years of Bauhaus with Murphy performing 615 Toulouse St. band material by himself.

The pair reportedly cranked out the album in five days, resulting in bursts of peculiar, spectacular inspiration: “I Am My Own Name” is a monstrous declaration of clout-swinging independence, and on “The Ghost of Shokan Lake,” Murphy goes spirit-hunting with a multi-tracked mob of lost souls marching behind him. Let others carry the torches, it seems to scream — Murphy’s too busy being one. My Jerusalem opens. Tickets $20, $100 VIP. — NOAH BONAPARTE PAIS

The heartrending real-life saga of banned Iranian filmmaker Jafar Panahi continues to play out in public with his second illicit post-ban film, Closed Curtain. Like Panahi’s 2011 This Is Not a Film, Closed Curtain is Closed Curtain a product of Panahi’s 20-year ban from THRU filmmaking (along with a six-year prison JULY 7:30 p.m. daily sentence, which can be reactivated at (5:30 p.m. Mon.) any time) handed down by the Iranian Zeitgeist Multi-Discigovernment for “acting against national plinary Arts Center, security and creating anti-regime pro1618 Oretha Castle paganda.” Panahi lives in state-imposed Haley Blvd. limbo, unable to make films in the community where he belongs. But the Iranian (504) 352-1150 government has so far tolerated the www.zeitgeistinc.net small and defiant films he makes without leaving his home. Written by Panahi and co-directed with fellow Iranian filmmaker Kambuzia Partovi, Closed Curtain employs the interior of Panahi’s beach house on the Caspian Sea as its only setting. It begins in near-conventional narrative style but eventually slides into a surreal reflection of Panahi’s troubled psyche, a place where fictional characters vie quietly for his attention. It’s a deeply melancholy film, but one that seems to have Panahi’s continued survival at heart. — KEN KORMAN

REVIEW

Lucy

Is there anything as free from the mundane restrictions of daily life as a wellmade science fiction movie? Nothing in French action-thriller specialist Luc Besson’s Lucy bears any resemblance to the real world, and that is what makes it so much fun. As the story begins, Lucy (Scarlett Johansson), an average Lucy (PG-13) American college student living in Taipei, Taiwan, is forced into service by the local mob as an inter- Directed by Luc Besson national mule for a new designer drug. It doesn’t Starring Scarlett take long for the plastic bag sewn into her belly Johansson, Morgan to break, and Lucy’s percentage of usable brain Freeman and capacity skyrockets above the standard 10 Choi Min-sik percent — a figure not corroborated by scientists Wide release but very useful for science fiction. Lucy turns to brain-capacity expert Professor Samuel Norman (Morgan Freeman) for answers and avoids mob boss Mr. Jang (Choi Min-sik, star of South Korean cult film Oldboy). Why would increased brain capacity make Lucy crawl on the ceiling like Linda Blair in The Exorcist? Hard to say, but it may be wise to keep your own brain capacity in check for maximum enjoyment of this film. The key to any successful work of science fiction is the social commentary embedded in its story, and that’s how Lucy gets past its silliness and implausibility. It has its cake and eats it too by posing existential questions about man’s need for “power and profit” while suggesting we enjoy the onscreen mayhem caused by that quest. Norman’s earnest, lab-coated scientists contrast comically with Jang’s bloodthirsty, Armani-suited gangsters, and Johansson seems comfortable and focused in her third sci-fi movie (along with Her and Under the Skin) in less than a year. Wildly imaginative visual effects (unleashed by Lucy’s brain but realized by George Lucas’s Industrial Light & Magic) keep things humming along. But in the end, Lucy’s logic-defying weirdness is its own reward — and ours. — KEN KORMAN

REVIEW

The Photographer is a Thief and Mexico, Te Quiero

I once knew a hobo who called New Orleans “the city of the living dark.” A former engineer who took to riding the rails, he voiced concern about tourism in the French Quarter: The Photographer is a Thief, “There are secret beings in THRU mixed media by Jayme Kalal the shadows that tourists AUG shouldn’t see, and we sure Good Children Gallery, 4037 don’t need to see them.” St. Claude Ave. Although Jayme Kalal’s (504) 616-7427 photographs typically seem set around St. Claude www.goodchildrengallery.com Avenue, they often suggest the hobo’s shadowy beings. Mexico, Te Quiero, photographs Sometimes as contorted as by Charles Lovell pretzels, his figures remind Consulate of Mexico Art us that New Orleans’ Gallery, 901 Convention Center strangeness survives. An Blvd., Suite 118 untitled image of an oddly attired couple on modified (504) 528-3722 tall bikes (pictured) displays www.connorleanscultural. his flair for hallucinatory blogspot.com effects, even as his figures resonate the gritty eloquence of Tom Waits’ dive bar ballads. Those effects, the analog byproducts of antique shutter designs, can be mind-bending, so blacksmith/sculptor Rachel David, photographed in her studio, appears Shiva-like, with four arms and a tool in each hand. But Kalal’s images are more often snatched from the shadow realms where shape-shifting creatures roam the streets, and in the process of capturing them he has created his own original body of work. Charles Lovell’s photographs of Mexico, compiled over the past quarter century, are noteworthy for their thorough documentary explorations of that nations’ colorful culture. But Mexico is a place where the works of man and nature can seem quite surreal, so in Graffiti Wall, Puebla, tattered political posters share space with the Virgin Mary in a bandito mask in an image as wryly concise as the work of any Parisian surrealist. Sanctuario De Los Largos depicts a sanctuary with votives not unlike our own St. Roch shrine, but on a colorfully grander scale. The impressive gallery space at the Consulate of Mexico — the oldest in the U.S. — provides a significant new addition to this city’s art scene. — D. ERIC BOOKHARDT

If you wanted to draw up a short list of subjects that might make a drama seem too heavy, you could start with 9/11, the Iraq War, grieving a lost spouse, infidelity and possible child abuse of a minor character who never appears onstage. Dying City has all of those. But Christopher Shinn’s compact drama is strangely and starkly compelling as it digs into the unusual triangle of relationships between Kelly, her dead husband Craig and his twin brother Peter. The play was nominated for the 2008 Pulitzer Prize and lost to Tracy Letts’ August: Osage County. At Shadowbox Theatre, Monica Harris’ engaging performance as Kelly propels the drama’s fiery revelations at a nexus of grief and change. Kelly is in her apartment packing when Peter (Matt Story) makes a surprise visit. They haven’t seen each other since Craig’s funeral the year before, and Peter wants to know if she is suspicious about the U.S. Army’s explanation of Craig’s death in Iraq. Peter is still troubled by it, but he’s also in the middle of a personal crisis. He’s an actor and has just had a horrible night onstage, compounded by interpersonal battles with others involved in the production. All of his relationships seem to be burdened with complications, and the chaos bleeds from one partner or friend to the next. It makes him at best a hapless and at worst a treacherous figure. At times he seems like a victim of others and at other times of his own failure to negotiate difficult situations; the ambiguity heightens the drama. Story nicely balances his earnest sense of suffering and underlying neediness. Kelly is a therapist and she’s well-equipped to humor him and see what’s behind his concerns. As he draws her in, Harris’ Kelly compellingly careens from calm and patient to upset and enraged, and issues that seemed laid to rest come roaring back to life. The action flashes back to a previous evening in the apartment when Peter visited Kelly and Craig the night before he departed for active duty. Peter got drunk and revelations about the brothers spilled out. Story plays both brothers, who thus can never appear on stage at the same time. That construction prevents Kelly from pinning them down on several points, but the scheme preserves some of the revelations. As suggested by its central metaphor, the work situates itself in the difficult gap between the cause of war and the reality of war. It deftly juxtaposes various forms of trauma and clouded memory. It’s unclear
