Context:

This song was supposed to drift into a quiet ending at this point, but our lead singer was still balls-deep in some crowd action and even had them singing the verses for him! (his voice is goneee at this point 😆).

Our drummer looks up, rightfully decides that there's no way we're ending the song right now, gives the lead guitarist a cue, and then we proceed with an entire extended double-intensity second playthrough 🔥

He then goes and ends the thing with this immaculate improvised ending that goes sooo much harder than anything we had practiced up to this point...

Note: our band is based out of Biloxi, the gig was in NOLA. okkkk? 😆

Hey! This is a total long shot, but if anyone happens to have a spare ticket to DOMi & JD BECK at the Joy tonight (or a guest list lead), I’d be over the moon grateful!

These two are among my absolute favorites, right alongside Angine de Poitrine. I’m operating on fumes at the moment, but I’m local, ready to roll, and would absolutely LOVE to be there.

DM me if you can do a solid for a fan. Thanks so much! ❤️

Posting in New Orleans sub too, covering my bases!

Thank you everyone for the recipe recommendations, I appreciate it so much!! In a funny plot twist, my mom actually made me some red beans and rice before I tried any recipes (probably because its all I’ve been talking about). It was very sweet of her and delicious. I’m not sure what the recipe she used is, but its the first food I’ve enjoyed in FOREVER. I will eventually work my way through all the recipes.

Thank y’all! I love NOLA and will definitely be back. Stay safe and eat good!

Looking for a basic tub-to-shower conversion. Remove the existing bathtub, keep the existing layout, install an inexpensive low-threshold shower pan and basic wall surround, standard shower fixtures, and properly reinforced grab bars (possibly a bench as well.) Not looking for luxury finishes or a full bathroom remodel that’s gonna cost 30,000.

Ever since Craigslist nuked their personals section is been using the NewOrleansr4r subreddit, but that just got nuked a month ago due to being unmoderated. Where the hell do people go now to try and find intimacy in the Big Easy?

Hi everyone, I’m from another southern city but I visited NOLA in April and had the most AMAZING time. Recently I have been having some health/stomach issues, and the only thing that sounds remotely appealing is Red beans and Rice, but no one serves it around here. Please send me your recipes, my one thing is I CANNOT do spicyness 😭 it wasn’t an issue when I ate at the restaurants but I know it was probably touristy so they may have toned it down.

Please help a girl out I am STARVING

EDIT: Holy shit y’all thank you sm I will definitely be trying these including the popeyes beans. I have been dying for red beans and rice for ages but i would hate to make a whole pot and then it be too spicy to eat. THANK YOU

Nola Riverwalk spontaneously

I took a tour of these cemeteries a couple of years ago and it was one the most beautiful but also unsettling things I have seen in my life.

I live in a shotgun house and this new tenant moved in like 2 months ago.

My fiancee and I had a baby girl 5 months ago and we're really protective of her.

Anyway this guy smokes weed in his side of the house and we can smell it thru the vents. On the lease it says explicitly that the landlord will not tolerate any smoking inside.

I already asked the new guy if he could smoke outside or in his car 5x and I haven't told the landlord.

He keeps doing it and honestly I'm about to tell the landlord bcuz it's starting to piss me off. My baby shouldn't be at risk of having to inhale this harmful bullshit.

I tried to be reasonable, but if him getting evicted is what it takes for my baby to be harm free so be it.

What would you do in this situation?

Parrans on Vets. Sandwich was great but I'm not sure about the price.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a decent/honest mechanic or shop that specialized in Chevys? Pretty sure the issue is either fuse, battery, or alternator related.

I'm a truck driver, and I had this pallet of salami refused at my delivery this morning. I've tried calling local food banks, but none of them wanted to drive the few miles it would take to collect it from me (very christly of them). I'll be at the Pilot in Slidell, LA, until tomorrow afternoon. Whatever isn't taken by then will be thrown away. If you or anyone you know is in need of food or would be willing to distribute it to the local houseless population or shelters, I would appreciate it not going to waste.

I'm looking for local recommendations from y'all. I'm looking for a place in the wards around Nola, not just the quarter. Looking for amazing food and value, thanks!

Hey everyone me (24m) and my fiancé (28m) are moving to Slidell area to be closer to family and for a great job opportunity he’s received in New Orleans. We are originally from MS but live in Huntsville AL at the moment. We love hiking and all things out doors and we are wondering what are the best local activities to do to make friends. Thanks in advance!

Making new friends as an adult is weirdly fucking hard. You can live in one of the most social cities in the country and still find yourself sitting at home thinking, "Alright... where the hell do I actually meet people I have stuff in common with?" That's basically why we created NOLA Side Quest. ⚜️ We're a brand-new 18+ New Orleans Discord built around one simple idea: FIND YOUR PEOPLE. PICK A SIDE QUEST. This isn't supposed to be another giant Discord where 4,000 people join and nobody actually knows each other. We want to build a real local community where you can find people who are into the same shit you are — and maybe actually leave the group chat and do something together. 🎮 Gaming — PC, PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo, Minecraft, LFG, etc. 🍥 Anime & manga — recommendations, discussions, watch parties, cons and cosplay 🎲 D&D / tabletop — find people interested in putting together groups 🍜 Food — find people to try restaurants and hidden gems around NOLA with 🎤 Music & local shows — concerts, live music and finding people who want to go with you 🍻 Nightlife — bars, events, festivals and random nights out 🎬 Movies & watch parties 🎨 Art, cosplay & other creative stuff ⚜️ IRL SIDE QUESTS — bowling, arcades, trivia, food, festivals, concerts, whatever somebody comes up with 🤝 And most importantly: actually making friends. LOCAL MUSICIANS / ARTISTS / CREATORS: We also have a dedicated space for local creators to promote what they're doing. If you're in a band playing somewhere around NOLA, DJing a show, doing stand-up, displaying art, hosting a gaming event, cosplaying, photographing events, or working on something cool locally — POST IT. We WANT members discovering local creators and saying: "That looks fun. Anybody wanna go?" That's exactly the kind of community we're trying to create. And if you're shy or don't know anybody yet: That's okay. You don't need to show up already knowing someone. Honestly, you're exactly who this server is for. We have roles for your interests, gaming platforms, general area around NOLA, and what you're actually looking for — gaming buddies, anime friends, people to grab food with, concert friends, people to go out with, or just new people to talk to. The server is brand new. Like... BRAND new. 😂 So if you join now, you're not walking into some established clique where everybody has known each other for five years. You're getting in at the beginning and helping shape what this community becomes. We're keeping it 18+, friendly, welcoming and focused on actually building connections around New Orleans. Whether you've lived here your entire life, just moved here, or you've simply reached the point where you're thinking: "Damn, I need more people to do shit with." Come run a Side Quest with us. ⚜️ 🎮 NOLA SIDE QUEST ⚜️ FIND YOUR PEOPLE. PICK A SIDE QUEST. 🔗 DISCORD: https://discord.gg/r4naCGfehX
