Music, music, music

The promised second day of deluge didn't materialize, so we had another great day of walking, discovering, and drenching our senses but not, luckily, our clothes. See @Bluheron's blip for more. A photographic exhibit of second-line parades, a visit to the museum that stores Mardi Gras Indian costumes and memorabilia. Lunch at Napoleon House, and then an orgy of spending at a place that sells CDs of local musicians.

Tonight we're invited to an election-results gumbo party and celebration. Hoping for a resounding defeat of the hatred-party.

Update: in shock, numb, frightened. Dumbstruck.
