Long day of Learning

After a long day talking to ecologists, lawyers, and journalists we ended with a bang at Irvin Mayfield’s Jazz Playhouse!





Day 7: quick lunch stop. 

Had some really good poor boys for lunch on this busy lecture/talking series day. 



Ever seen a grin so big?!

Meeting Mark  Schleifstein, NOLA.com

Today we were lucky enough to meet with Mark, an environmental reporter for NOLA.com: New Orleans’ leading website for news and information. He runs their hurricane blog and is solely responsible for reporting news related to all things environmental, weather, levee, and hurricane related. 

See his blog here

He predicted a hurricane with devastating effects like Katrina three years before it hit in his series titled “Washing Away“.

Thanks Mark for the talk! It was great to get an inside look at how a record label is operated in New Orleans. And deep fried pickles are my dream food.
