Going to New Orleans during the holidays??
 

I just saw this and thought it might be of interest to some of you visiting NO for Christmas:

Marva Wright's Christmas Party
8:00 pm Tipitina's, 501 Napoleon Ave. www.tipitinas.com

Marva Wright's 7th Annual Christmas Bash featuring THE BMW'S, Rockin' Dopsi, Jr. and the Zydeco Twisters, Trombone "Shorty" Andrews, Wild Magnolias Indians, Amanda Shaw, Irvin Mayfield, Soul Rebels Brass Band & many more!

We attended this event in 2004 (the year it snowed). What a blast! The music was great - a cool way to spend Christmas night in New Orleans.

topping for yotefan and others

Haven't checked in for a while - too busy getting Christmas shopping / wrapping / shipping done so we can get ready for our trip, but this looks amazing!!!

I actually just saw a special on displaced NOLA musicians & Tipitina's this weekend (I think it was on Showtime).

My tickets are now purchased and waiting at will call - thanks again to all of your for your wonderful suggestions! :)

I love it - Mardi Gras beads on the Christmas tree! :)

I think my husband will be rushing out to get the Genuine Houserockin Christmas CD asap! Thanks BayouGal!
