Welcome to this weeks edition of
feeling the impact of all the festivities
Sherry visited her chiropractor
Dr. Pete for a mid-week tune up
feeling much better it was off to a Pizza Slut
meeting/dinner with little Ellen (last weeks birthday girl)
becoming a part of the gang
Sherry then attended a taping of the new and improved
Louisiana Jukebox (no more Nicky Reyes) which is being
booked by Sherry's old friend Ed White
Theresa Anderssen was performing that night
and Theressa and Sherry requested the
soft fuzzy Ingrid Bergman lens for this shot
here we see Sherry with her new friend
Wayne from San Francisco, a boat pilot
Sherry was really happy to see her old friend Kevin Aucoin,
who because of his heavy touring schedule,
hadn't been on the Adventures for months
also playing that night was one
of the great drummers and Sherry's
old friend "Mean" Willie Green
Gatemouth Brown finished up the evening
with his debut on the Adventures
Sherry bids the crew a "job well done" and
a chance for Kevin to sneak in one more picture
Friday night it was back to Tipitina's for the debut
of the New Orleans Jazz Orchestra and Conductor Clyde Kerr Jr
and Sherry knew her good friend Libra Lagrone
wouldn't miss out on such a great event
the true definition of "genius at work"....
the incomparable Herman Leonard was
photographing this great evening of music
and having that great eye, he spotted Sherry
and Libra and made his Adventures debut
Sherry made quite a few new friends this evening,
including Carl, who enjoys his time in New Orleans
when not doing audio/video for WWF
Sherry applauded wildly as Clyde Kerr Jr began
his famous "pull my finger" routine
Sherry then tried it on Darcy Malone and Katie Dilzell
but Katie had heard that one before
Bill Bender and Rich Starr presenting Sherry with a cd
copy
of this years MOM's Ball-"Swallow the Leader"
Conductor Clyde Kerr Jr, immediately after his performance,
didn't miss a beat in grabbing a photo with Sherry
on her way out Sherry was spotted by Maurice "Chi-Town"
Brown
who played some amazing trumpet this evening and wanted
to make the night a complete success
Saturday morning Sherry joined up with Jeff, Jenz &
Eddie
for a little Irish Channel St Patrick's Day Parade prep
here we see Sherry with Christine and Michelle enjoying
another New Orleans tradition, the reviewing
of other peoples pictures of what really happened at M.O.M.'s
Sherry and the gang took to the streets
because even after Mardi Gras, they just
hadn't had their fill of parades yet
and everybody screamed when Mark Morice strolled by
Mark Morice and Tim Foley then grabbed this
opportunity for their picture with Sherry....
and then
Mark turned Tim Foley into a tank top
and presented it to Sherry
New Orleans Police Chief Eddie Compass spotted Sherry
and immediately presented her with a flower
here come da floats
Sherry displays the main difference between
the St Patricks Day Parade and the ones during Mardi Gras...
here we see Sherry with a head of cabbage and a wee glass
of Irish beer she received from a passing float
next on the parade route was the "mean
Queen of clean"
Jackie Clarkson (she's the one responsible for removing
the benches in Jackson Square and the arrest of the homeless),
with Sherry acknowledging her with the proper Jackie Clarkson Salute
next...we have an unsolicited contribution from earlier
in the parade with onlookers also administering
the proper Jackie Clarkson Salute
(thanks to Sherry's old friend Chris Ryan)
with enough cabbage and Moon Pies for an Irish
feast the gang called the parade a success
Saturday night at Tipitina's was the debut of "Hairball"
with your host for the evening WDSU news anchor Norman Robinson
and the gang was there....here we see Sherry with
Dylan, Mikey B, Michelle, Dave & Jennifer
the music portion of "Hairball" got swingin with
Sista Teedy and John Boutte
there were also one act plays in between sets of music...
here we see Sherry's friends Dawn, JenAnne and author
David Kunian (giving direction from the side of the stage)
Sherry and Gloria Powers then congratulated
JenAnne's mother (left) on her daughters fine performance
Sherry congratulating JenAnne on co-starring
in the tattoo skit in "Hairball"
then Norman Robinson told the crowd he had a surprise for all
puppets
knowing that puppets really scare Sherry, Norman checked
to
see how she was, Sherry assured him she was having a great time
back on stage Sista Teedy was joined by Debbie Davis
but after her last note Sista Teedy grabbed hold of Sista Sherry
working as curtain girl was Sherry's old friend Rebecca Edwards
in between acts Rebecca grabbed Sherry for a pic
the next bit was a political piece by Anthony, which according
to his
shirt he is in strong support of "WAK UF"...Sherry doesn't
know what that means but wishes him well
here we see Sherry with her new friend Sal....
Sal is not just a fashion statement....
he has a message
and the next thing Sherry knew
there was Sal on stage for the big finale
after the play Sherry stood up front yelling "Author,
Author"
well she got not only the author David Kunian but
also the very psychedelic host for the evening Norman Robinson
Sherry ran into Pizza Slut Mary Pat
while waiting for the Uptown Mardi Gras
Indians Super Sunday at Shakespeare Park
with a drizzle delaying the start of the action
Sherry decided to try her hand at darts
and won herself this lovely prize
(the doll not the Carny)
but soon there was trouble in the air as Quint Davis
was spotted offering parade officials a ride in his
new Acura if they would alert him to Sherry's
whereabouts, not knowing she was right behind him
Johnny Malone, Beth James (City of New Orleans Director
of
Economic Development), Sherry and Tracy Malone
enjoying Super Sunday and the super food
Sherry decided it was time to check out
the barbecued turkey necks
Sherry knew the music was about to swing when she
spotted her old friend Harry from the Hot 8 Brass Band
Laurie thought that Sherry's new doll reminded her
of a guy named Sal she met in the Quarter
James Andrews gives Sherry a kiss after hearing all about
her from his brother Troy "Trombone Shorty" Andrews
Sherry and Larissa were busy talking but Jazz Fest Johnny
is focused on his big Jazz Fest show-
Louisiana Bottleneckers & Sliderulers (aka Slidemania Vol.1)

with special guests to include Camile Baudoin, Brint Anderson and CC Adcock

Sherry and Bill Taylor got out the way when
the Hot 8 Brass Band was ready to hit the streets
Lee Frank from Tipitinas and his friend Jeff joined Sherry
as the action started to heat up
Sherry then ran into her very good friends Tunji plus
Charlie and Donna from Donna's Bar on Rampart
figuring Sherry would be caught up in the excitement
Quint Davis, desperate now for a picture with Sherry,
pretended to be enjoying some food so he could sneak up
on her, but Sherry was wise to his tricks and said,
"until you book Neil Young at Jazz Fest, no picture for you"
Sherry and Larissa admiring Sherry's neighbor
Big Chief Peppy as he begins to parade
Tunji then introduced Sherry to his cousin Officer Reginald
Sherry loves to run into Sean...he's not only
a cool guy but his neck tickles her nose
back out on the street it was the "Undefeated Divas"
and one of the members of the "Undefeated Divas"
is Sherry's
friend Shalanda and their friend Troy "Trombone Shorty" Andrews
Sherry then joined in with her friend Geechie as he
played that big bass drum for the Wild Magnolias
Sherry was then grabbed by Jarrard "Lil Bo" Dollis
of the Wild Magnolias
a chill came over Sherry, but she quickly realized it was
just another Quint Davis encounter of a close kind
New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin then rushed over to let
Sherry know that his men had spotted Quint looking for her.
Sherry told hissoner, "thanks Mr. Mayor, but I got it covered,
you just keep up the good work on filling up dem potholes"
and then the party was on and went well into the night
and there is only one way to top a week like that off....
Vietnamese food for everybody
