Relationships with people are an easy indicator of how far our own pages have turned.
When I first came to New Orleans, I snuck off from my friends and went to the "other" side of Bourbon Street.
Down on the opposite end stood the gay clubs and everything else that came along with them. There was an energy around that I had never experienced before.
I knew in those first moments that THIS was my new scene. A short time after, I met long time friend, Cousin Dimitri. No, he wasn't just my cousin, he was everyone's cousin! He was and still is a beloved D.J. at the iconic radio station, WWOZ.
If you have never heard of this radio station then I strongly urge you to go to www.wwoz.org and you can live stream it.
Cousin Dimitri has been around to see me grow up, fall in love, get married, have kids and everything in between. He even came to Douglas and I's wedding.
I hope you enjoy listening to our times gone by. After all, it's those times that pass that shape us into who we are today!
Locals go to 90.7 FM but to listen to the Jazz and Heritage Station, check out their site!
Then later, The Joker of New Orleans sits down with me. Didn't know there was one? Well, there is. Not only is his mug on point donning bright electric green hair, but he can read your mind. Like, really. He is a mentalist that has been known to tell you your exact birthday, unlock your phone, or nail it with slight of hand.
I don't know his name- just Joker of New Orleans. Mysterious right?
He even blew my mind! You have got to listen to this. His plan is to be on AGT soon! I am very excited to see where this uniquely mysterious cat is going!
