“Nu-Nu's is better than No-Nu's Benefit” so goes the tagline. One club helps out another. One community helps out another. It’s a village. People help out and what goes around comes around. It’s nice like that. On Aug. 29, the Blue Moon hosts a benefit and fundraiser for Nu Nu’s, which suffered extensive fire damage last month in a huge blaze that should have ended its run. But you can’t keep a good club down. To help facilitate Nu Nu’s comeback all of the proceeds from the show will go toward rebuilding the structure. Joe Hall & the Louisiana Cane Cutters, Celjun with Tony Daveron, Ryan Brunet & Les Malfecteurs, Cedric Watson & Bijoux Creole, Bon Soir Catin, and Horace Trahan & the New Ossun Express provide the live music for what will be a kick ass show. In addition, food and drinks will be available for purchase and attendees will be eligible to bid on original artwork including a piece created by artist Kelly Guidry. Be at the Blue Moon on Aug. 29. The starts at 4 p.m. and runs till midnight.

Nu-Nu's is not just a club. It is the heart of Arnaudville's arts community and events, serving and supporting regional artists. Prior to the fire it held the Deaux Bayous Art Gallery, a restaurant that was a meeting place for visitors, natives, and a weekly French Table. Regularly scheduled musical events included dancing to blues and Celtic tunes, as well as cajun & zydeco. It was the home of the Fire & Water festival (Le Feu et L'Eau) and many, many other events.
Please help rebuild this important venue by attending this event and others like it.

The defeat, or rather highjacking of House Bill 420 in the final days of this year's Legislative Session, say Reps.

He’s a singer. A songwriter. A piano man. A family man. He’s even got his own Wikipedia entry. He’s David Egan. And he knows ancient secrets about the monolithic stones of Stonehenge that he’s not willing to share.
