Spring Break: From Austin to Pearlington
My hair still smells like wood smoke from the campfire I spent the previous two nights in front of. And that's just fine.
It will take my a while to organize my thoughts into anything resembling coherency, but first, some thoughts. I will never forget:
· Standing outside the shell of a house entirely devastated by Hurricane Katrina listening to all the Americorps volunteers belt out "Red Neck Woman." Somehow the locals preserved their marvelous karaoke system. Though I have to say that this woman [click for video] did a perfect impression of Macy Gray.
· Watching a small dog house sized shed burn as "Burning Down the House" blared from the sound system in Pearlington's Burning Man camp. Don't worry -- it was art.
· My first crawfish bake. They are delicious!
· Driving from New Orleans to Pearlington [click for video].
· Stumbling into an apparently weekly open mic night filled with locals expressing their views [click for video].
Be sure you visit my Pearlington photoset on Flickr.
One House at a Time
The whole reason I found myself in Pearlington was to visit my good friend Jake who is a coordinator on the ground for One House at a Time. I hope to make their website more dynamic and less boring sometime this week.
The Rest of Spring Break
I should also note that I had a mostly wonderful time in New Orleans [click for photos] and Austin [click for my few photos], but some things are more memorable than others. I'll fill you in on the happier parts of my spring break eventually.
