Rolling Stone calls Neko Case "Indie's greatest singer" and her newest release, Middle Cyclone, confirms it, debuting at #1 on Billboard's Top Independent Albums chart and #3 on the Billboard Top 200! Spin rates it a 9 out of 10, and The New Yorker calls it the "best album of her career by a generous margin". Case has earned critical acclaim and won a steadily growing cult audience for her smoky, sophisticated vocals and the downcast beauty of her music. From her time with the New Pornographers to her own country-infused alternative sound, Case has wooed audiences with a powerful live performance that she'll bring to Republic on November 21st. 18+ NO TICKET FEES!!!

Loyola Ballet Fall Performance Date: Friday, November 20, 2009 /Saturday, November 21, 2009 Time: 8:00 pm to 9:30 pm Location: Roussel Performance Hall, Communications/Music Complex The Loyola Ballet celebrates the 100th anniversary of the Ballets Russes with performances on Friday, Nov. 20, and Saturday, Nov. 21, at 8 p.m., in Roussel Performance Hall, located in the Communications/Music Complex, on Loyola’s main campus. The impresario Sergei Diaghilev started Ballets Russes in Paris in 1909, which prominently toured the United States between 1930 and 1962. Loyola Ballet, with guest artists Kenneth Kynt Bryan, Kimberly Matulich Beck, Se-Yong Kim and Colleen Murphy, will perform the signature repertoire of the Ballets Russes, which includes Act II of Tchaikovsky’s “Swan Lake,” excerpts from Offenbach’s “Gaîté Parisienne,” and Borodin’s Polovetsian Dances from his opera “Prince Igor.” The Polovetsian Dances will be accompanied by the Loyola Symphony Orchestra directed by Dr. Jean Montès and a chorus directed by Kate Arthurs. Dancers from the Komenka Ethnic Dance Ensemble will join the Loyola Ballet dancers for this performance. Gayle Parmelee, associate professor emerita and coordinator of the Loyola Preparatory Ballet Program, was a student of the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo school in New York. During her early years of teaching, she trained Carolyn Martin, who became a member of the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo. Martin has assisted Loyola Ballet dancers in the style of Ballets Russes for “Swan Lake” for this performance. In addition, Hiller Huhn, also a former student of Gayle Parmelee, staged the Polovetsian Dances for this event. Huhn was formerly the assistant director of Houston Ballet and has previously staged a Ballets Russes performance for that company. Tickets or Fees: $12 General; $8 Students, Seniors, Children and Loyola Faculty/Staff For additional information contact: Jessica Roma at 504-865-2074 or by email at tickets@loyno.edu Additional information may be found at this url: More Information

Recently awarded the Big Easy Music Award for “Best Funk Group of 2008,” Big Sam’s Funky Nation is a driving force of urban funk. The band is led by trombone powerhouse, Big Sam Williams, formerly the trombonist for the Dirty Dozen Brass Band, who the San Francisco Chronicle calls “the top man on the slide trombone in the birthplace of jazz.” Combining his distinctive trombone riffs with a call-and-response MC style, Big Sam refuses to let the audience sit still. Between the band’s solos and his trombone riffs, Big Sam second-lines (a uniquely New Orleans style of street-dance) and gets the crowd going.

Description
Morty Valldejuli, general manger of the Maison Dupuy Hotel, is proud to unveil Le Meritage, an exciting new dining concept whereby fresh seasonal cuisine is impeccably matched to the primary characteristics of wine. All dishes on the menu are available in large and small plates and wines by the glass are offered in full and half pours, encouraging guests to savor different pairings at one sitting. After a nationwide search, Michael Farrell, a veteran restaurateur with New Orleans roots, has been chosen as Executive Chef. Chef Farrell brings a wealth of culinary experience to the new endeavor. He served as Executive Chef in a number of acclaimed eateries throughout the nation including Alto in Denver, The Summer House on Island, Anthem in Las Vegas and Beano’s Cabin in Beaver Creek, Co. The style he brings to Le Meritage evolved over the course of his career beginning with his coastal upbringing. Chef Farrell will utilize the very finest meats, Louisiana seafood, game and classic local ingredients in the creation of dishes such as Pan - Roasted Drum with Fava Bean Succotash & Fried Green Tomatoes and Braised Beef Short Rib with Parsnip Puree & Sorrel Gremolata. The menu items have been created to compliment and pair with six specific wine categories - Light Whites, Full Body Reds, Sparklers, Full Body Whites, Fruity Reds and Spicy - Earthy Reds.

Stand-up night has snowballed beyond our wildest dreams! All the best New Orleans comics know that La Nuit is the place to be on Friday night. We've got pros and amateurs and everything in between, but the throngs of fans that come out to see 'em agree that it is the most fun you can have with two feet on the floor. Think you want to give it a try? We'll give you six minutes on the mic without asking for anything in return, so come around at 10:45 to get on the list!

Join us for an evening of digs, sets, and spikes at Coconut Beach near West End. Regardless of your skill level, if you have interest...we have an outlet for you. We'll meet for 3 and play until we get tired or until it gets dark...whichever comes first. Format depends on skill level and turnout. Ideally we'd be playing 6 on 6 (this would be forgiving for newer players) or 4 on 4. If we need to play two courts that's doable. Alternatively if the turnout is low, we may just work on skills. Subbing for a struggling team on Net 7 on Wednesdays has got me itching to play more. I hope some of you are feeling the same way. This should be a great chance to get out of the house, meet and reconnect with folks with similar interests, and shake some of the complacency off that comes with the sedentary 9-5 lifestyle. Depending on interest, we can make this a regularly occuring event. I hope to see you on the sand. Don't hesitate to contact me or post here if you have any questions.

Come join us for the New Orleans Poboy Preservation Festival. Hosted by the Oak Street Association, the New Orleans Po - Boy Preservation Festival was founded as a celebration of the storied sandwich and the role it has played in New Orleans' culinary culture. History has it that a local shop owner who was formerly a streetcar driver began feeding the striking the workers for free. When a hungry worker would come in off of the picket line the call would go out: "here comes another poor boy!" From those humble beginnings spring the many varieties of the po - boy sandwich; a New Orleans original of which there is no sub - stitute! The Po - Boy Preservation Festival will also highlight the ongoing revitalization of the Oak Street corridor.

Ohm is a contemporary Asian-deco lounge. The décor is derived from both Japanese and Chinese influences – from historic Japanese art printed onto rice-paper and rock-garden bar-top, to the Shanghai roof-top back bar and 24-karat gold-leaf wallpaper. A burgundy ostrich seat-ee wraps our floor to ceiling windows which adorn a 180° view of St. Charles Ave. Aesthetics aside, Ohm pleases the senses subtly with a synergistic combination of cherry blossom scent and exclusive down-tempo lounge music.
