Yes, I wish I was in New Orleans today too. I can just hear the sounds of street bands, smells of great food, and, of course, one cannot forget the intoxicating power of a Hurricane. Well, Minneapolis, we’re in luck. There’s this band called the Jack Brass Band. They are the only New Orleans style brass band in town. They won Best Specialty Band at the MMA awards this past year. Okay, they might be a bunch of white boys, but they are good at what they do, and can hang in Treme. TREME! I dare you to try that. Anyway, they are playing at Copeland’s tonight to celebrate Mardi Gras. Mmm… I can taste the Hurricanes already.

This is not an ad for Copeland’s or Jack Brass. Just thought some of you would like a NOLA celebration.
