STOP THE VIOLENCE
Friday at 1 p.m. the Anirtak Theater—formerly the State Palace—plays host to the Stop the Violence Hip-Hop Town Hall Meeting. The recent violence that has erupted in New Orleans and particularly in Central City has brought local hip-hop artists BG, Mia X, Joe Blakk, Head-Roc, DJ Jubilee, Sess 4-5, Fifth Ward Weedie, and L.O.G. together to address the problem. This town hall meeting is sponsored by the Hip-Hop Caucus Institute with the goal of creating a youth coalition to oppose violence and help bring about social justice.

On a lighter note, has the Ponderosa Stomp lineup been announced? I might actually be able to afford to go this year--unless Kathleen fucking Blanco's moronic smoking ban means I can't smoke at Rock n Bowl.

2007 JazzFest lineup. I haven't looked at it closely but am assuming it is similar to prior years, i.e., some good local artists, too many big name out-of-towners, few Ponderosa Stomp obscure types, and maybe 1 or 2 token rappers or contemporary r'n'b artists.

Jordan, do you know anything about Smitty Dee's Brass Band who are there on the second weekend? A google seach tells me Dimitri Smith of the band used to be in the Olympia Brass Band, so that makes them more traditional, right?
I don't think Aaron Neville is gonna be there again (last year he said his breathing problems get compounded in post-Katrina New Orleans) and I just read that his wife died of cancer. He's living in Nashville now. http://www.tennessean.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070106/OBITS/701060330/1090/NEWS
