My latest column is now up on the Kotori Magazine Web site. Go read it and post comments on it.
The column documents my trip to New Orleans in November. I had initially intended to write only one column about it, but there were too many things I thought I needed to include and so I will break up the story of my Louisiana adventures into two ore more installments.
Part I includes my travel to the city and my first few days there. One highlight was my tour of Lafayette Cemetery, which is located in the Garden District. I was staying with my good friend Voodoo Rue, who luckily lives in one of the nicer parts of the city.
One item I forgot to mention in my column was that for most of my stay in New Orleans, movie trailers were lined up along the street around much of the cemetery. I asked a security guard what was being filmed and was told that it was a made-for-TV film entitled Midnight Bayou. Jerry O’Connell and Faye Dunaway are rumored to be in the film. It is a period piece, and the actors I saw smoking cigarettes outside of their tiny trailers were in period costume from the late 1800s or early 1900s.
