Writer Dave Eggers recently spoke at NOCCA Riverfront. We will be hearing more from him soon, says the New York Times, which reports that Jonathan Demme has acquired the rights to Zeitoun, Eggers’ account of one New Orleanian’s post-Katrina struggles. Demme envisions the story as a cartoon feature film. In what hasn’t been a good year for New Orleans [...]

November 7, 2009 – 1:01 am
[Earlier in the week, we published Lauren Noel's review of the Flaming Lips' November 1 show at Voodoo.

You could definitely tell it was the last day of a packed Voodoo weekend. No matter how hard Wayne Coyne tried, the rarely worn-out New Orleans crowd was tired. As a performer who feeds off the energy of his crowds, Coyne seemed almost desperate for the audience to wake up. Despite the quiet crowd, the [...]
We Are the World

Lieutenant Governor Mitch Landrieu’s World Cultural Economic Forum once again takes place in New Orleans, with panels and showcases of our local music and culture. I’m thrilled to announce that OffBeat will receive the award for Outstanding Contribution to Cultural Tourism. It’s gratifying to know that almost 25 years of work yields recognition. But the [...]
