Hi there! I just stumbled upon this site on Google and I’m so glad I did. Looks like we've got mutual interests.
I wanted to tell you about The Domino Effect, a concert here at the New Orleans Arena on May 30, in case you haven’t read about it already. It’s a tribute to Fats Domino featuring B.B. King, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Ozomatli, Junior Brown, Keb’ Mo’, Wyclef Jean, and Taj Mahal. The concert is benefiting the Drew Brees Dream Foundation, which helps kids in NOLA. Hop on a plane, come see it, write about it, and tell everyone you know about it! Tickets start at $50 and VIP packages (meet & greet with the artists!) are $250.
Hope to see you here!

Remy: I know it'll be a great event and I will plan do a post on it. If only I could hop on a plane to New Orleans every few weeks, I definitely would...
