Wing Hodasz was a Jazz Fest institution. If you ever went to the festival, even rarely, you probably saw him. Or, at least, witnessed his likeness in motion, for he moved faster than ordinary senses can divine, ever in a constant state of energy, a constant state of dance, constant state of grace.
Editors note: Rest in Peace, Wing!

THANK YOU for continuing to donate to rebuilding and relief efforts of the Gulf Coast.
I usually pitch the folks who manage lighting the ESB and emphasize that it's a nod to the survivors and lives we lost when Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast. A silent acknowledgment that "we remember" and understand rebuilding is a slow, painful process. I assume that the group who manages the ESB lighting is overwhelmed with daily requests and probably feels that New Orleans and the Gulf Coast had their acknowledgment in 2006 and Hurricane Katrina is just a memory.

Fat Tuesday is February 24, 2009: Lets use Social Networking (Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, etc) to spread the word. Reach out to the leaders in your home town.
