Evacucation, 2008 Edition

[infrogmation]

Barring a major change in the track of Gustav, Hollie and I will be bugging out Sunday morning.

I've seen no indication that Gustav is going to be a mega-storm like Katrina (Rita, Ivan, or Wilma), but no Hurricane is nice. And while forcasting technology keeps improving, Hurricanes are still pretty unpredicatable. We're able to take some time out of town so we'll do so.

The radio station is closing down and going off the air midnight tonight (!). Our post-K studio & offices are in a city owned building in the high ground of the French Quarter, which is apparently being commondeered for the storm.

Echoes of 2005: It looks like again I'm going to the Krewe of OAK parade the last Saturday in August then driving out of town early the next morning.

Where does OAK parade? Might be nice to go to if I can pull Craig from hurricane prep.

I am staying to see the Decadence parade Sunday unless the storm looks like it will make a major turn our way.

OAK starts and ends at the Maple Leaf Bar on Oak Street; goes to the various bars in the Carrollton area on Willow, Oak, and Maple before returning to the starting point.

There should be details outside the Maple Leaf. Starts c. 7:30 or 8pm, I think.

Post some pix of Decadence parade if you can!

This is sad news! The site hasn't updated yet, but it is still early.
