Bart at B-Rox: My Education Question
I expect a lot of day after posts at some point, especially since the remains of TS Fay will be making it a rainy day in the Crescent City. I will round up after posts tonight and list them here.
If I have ommitted a post here just drop me an email. If your post was primarily about the altercation between two attendees, I have omitted it intentionally. I don't want that spilling over here.

Radio Days - Or Minutes
God bless Varg.
He got Sheckrastos and I to do a radio talk show - Eric Asher's over at WIST 690 AM - at about 1:30 in the afternoon today to chat up Rising Tide. I've called in to radio shows before, but have never been in a sound booth with a fuzzy mic in my face. You can listen to the aftermath of our time on the air here, beginning about 22 minutes in.
First off, Eric is a sweetheart for having us blogheads on his show, and he's pretty savvy about what's being put out there by the NOLA blogpocheh. He mentioned Bayou St John David's The Nagin Files as a particular fount of information that he draws upon regularly, and he was an all-around great host.
On listening to the podcast, though, I've noticed a few things:
-I sound like my mom. I'm also laughing so much, people might think that my corner of the booth was full of nitrous oxide. Sorry 'bout the giggles, guys.
-Somebody in this town better hire Varg full time, dammit, and pay him well. We forgot to fully recognize him as the webmaestro of the RT site. At least I pointed out the stirring gothic beauty that is The Chicory over the airwaves. And if not a single one of these awesome flyers of his makes its way to the people's penthouse on Friday night, something ain't right with the world.
-Adrastos needs his very own talk show. His personality cannot be contained in an Ed McMahon-ish role opposite Eric Asher's Johnny Carson. Somebody, get the man a sound booth and some airtime so's he can reveal the mysteries of those who are Naked On Roller Skates.
-Eric brought up Ashley Morris, and in our race for superlatives to best describe Harry Shearer's favorite mime, we forgot to mention the first-ever Ashley Morris awards, which will be presented at the Zeitgeist on Saturday near the end of the day.
When all is said and done, if nobody else registers for RT III after this, then I'll have to whip out some Jewish mother-style guilt on y'all.
"It's all right. I'll just sit here by the glow of my laptop, blogging away for you. And only for you."
Problem is, that sounds too much like a come-on. Just register already!

The Katrina Myth
From Levees.org founder Sandy Rosenthal:
Dear all,
I am hoping to meet a lot of you this weekend at RTIII. On Saturday, I will present a sneak preview of levees.org's brand new eye-popping video The Katrina Myth; the truth about a thoroughly unnatural disaster.
The hard-hitting 10-minute documentary produced for levees.org by FoodMusicJustice.com dispels a lot of the harmful myths that are slowing the metro New Orleans recovery.
I also will share some things that levees.org tried that were very effective in growing our membership, and we think they could work for you, too.
But most important, I cannot wait to meet the people who have been so critical to the recovery and to the strength of this city!
Again, I hope to see you there!
Sandy
