Hi all,
Since the governor of Louisianna has told folks to get busy making evac plans in case Gustav comes to visit the lowlands of NO and since our own beloved Courtney calls the Big Easy home and is even as I type formulating her own evacuation plans I thought of something the rest of might do.

This is a population density map of the US:  http://www.census.gov/dmd/www/pdf/512popdn.pdf

If you look you can see a sliver of coast in western Louisianna that has a population denisty of less than 10 people per square mile.  I'm guessing that is because it is a swamp.  Swamps, I understand LOVE hurricanes and were designed by Ma Nature to relish them.

So I'm thinking that another hurricane is just not what New Orleans needs right now.  But I am thinking the happy swamp off to the west would enjoy it.

So let's use our collective festivarian energy to 1) keep Gustav from turning into a monster storm and 2) direct it to hit somewhere where few lives and properties are at risk.

Beats just worrying about it!

 :vibes  Let's all visualize and vibe!  :vibes

You know what I learned tonight, Ron?  I very old lesson that I forgot.  It isn't enough to just be against something if you don't have something else to offer up that you are for.

So I am FOR the swamps in Louisianna getting the nutrients, water and cleansing surge that a hurricane provides.

I am FOR this country electing leadership that challenges us to believe in ourselves and act on those beliefs and dreams.

And I am FOR this community, bound by music and the fun of the festival experience, but in that we found a reliable place of support.

We have each other's back.  That matters.  And I am FOR that too.

More vibes to Gustav to go where it will be of some good... :vibes :vibes :vibes :vibes :vibes :vibes :vibes :vibes :vibes :vibes :vibes
