You can’t really see that the title of this book is New Orleans is Sinking.
Padu and I visited Chezza in The Big Easy about 4 years back and when the shit went down last week, I tried to find the photos of my trip. Oddly, I couldn’t. But I DID find the spell candles we bought from Marie Laveau’s House of Voodoo, so I lit the one for wellness and sent some healing vibes in the direction of all those poor, poor folks.
If healing vibes seem an insufficient way to send aid or support to the hurricane survivors, Katr’s got some great links, resources and writings on her blog about the aftermath of Katrina. There are some tips on what to do if you want to help and some info on avoiding hurricane relief scams, because some people, ah . . . are jerks with crabs. And should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. And then given more crabs.
As for me - once I’ve chosen a charity to make my donation to, I’m going to set a date with Sahi to begin my survival knitting lessons. If Katr is right and things go all Mad Max down there, I want to be ready.

Thanks, man! You’re the best. I’m carding my dandelion fibre wool as we speak.
