Always Be Yourself, Unless You Can Be a Pirate

In this episode, the tables are turned, as Ellis Anderson, Publisher of the Shoofly Magazine becomes the interviewee instead of the interviewer. She gives us the inside scoop on the history of The Shoofly Magazine and it’s sister publication French Quarter Journal. We learn how these publications and other grassroots efforts fill a gap in hyperlocal reporting on the arts, culture and lifestyle scene.  In the discussion, we explore how emerging technology and good storytelling can transform and build community.  

 

A very hungry Kerry Maloney goes across the bridge to Pass Christian to give us a  full rundown of daily specials at Bacchus on The Beach.  

 

Then its back to the studio to talk Mardi Gras with the Seahorse Krewes Lady Claiborne played by Noel Allen and Captain Longbeard played by Albert Ghergich. In the interview, Captain and Lady tell us all about the history and mythos of The Mystic Krewe of The Seahorse.  They share tips for decorating golf carts for the Lundi Gras parade, constructing “dangerously flamboyant” costumes, and other techniques to “Always be yourself, unless you can be a pirate, then always be a pirate.”  We also get a preview of the upcoming Mutiny in The Bay party.
