Seafood still available in North Louisiana

Talking to my friends that own seafood restaurants; seafood is still available and price has not gone up much yet.
Vic Hendricks at Cypress Inn (318-345-0202) said, " He has oysters,shrimp,crab,catfish and crawfish now. The oysters are the biggest concern , but all the beds west of the Mississippi river are open except one after being tested. The one still closed was not an oil concern , it was a bacterial one. My prices are still standing on the menu, I am just riding with the extra cost which so far has not been too much. if it does go up a lot then we will have to reprint menus."

Jamie Cormier of Cormiers said,"They are going to be open two more weeks for crawfish season and then close for their summer retreat as usual. we always plan on closing to just do catering and enjoy our families during the hot summer months anyway. We are seeing a small increase on Shrimp, but we are still serving boiled shrimp for the next two weeks. The oil is a concern for everyone."

Dancing with the Louisiana Stars may 1st and If Pigs can fly May 1st

Ok so may 1st is going to be very busy, two big events that day , lucky for you both can be attended.

Cormiers on Forsythe is having their annual anniversary party... it is an all day throw down of crawfish and all the fixings and also the once a year crawfish pies. I always go early and get the pies. Katie loves them.

That night is more Cormiers with a live cajun band , better than a dead cajun band ...huh ..... This year for two saturdays they are having two different cajun bands, so May 1st or May 8th.

Next is that night at 7pm at the Monroe Civic center is the second annual dancing with the Louisiana Stars for the Louisiana Delta Ballet. Fun fun and funny. Lots of local celebs..... all in their rare form of dancing. This year each local is partnered with a ballet professional dancer to help.

Plus drum roll.... it is my birthday , another year younger.....

KTVE upset today

last week I am sure everyone heard the news director was canned at KTVE (after Griffin Scott won his unemployment), today at this moment Cheryl Olive, General Manager is cleaning out her desk. She is the next one out the door. They were the firing team of Griffin.

So where will this leave Griffin Scott , maybe his job back. Keep in touch ! Go Grif, maybe your passion will be returned. I know you really loved your job. But where does that leave everyone else. What a mess.
