InvadeNOLA Mag Vol 2. Issue 1

LETTER FROM THE PUBLISHER

INSTRUCTIONS

Don’t let the skinny jeans and hippie fro fool you. I, Justin Shiels, am a nerd. I

watch my fair share of Dr. Who; I geek out over graphic design trends; and most

of my nights are spent in a dark room with the soft glow of a computer screen.

That’s why when I thought of the first issue of Volume 2, I wanted to make

something that celebrated the hip side of being a geek. In this issue, Dorothy

takes us on an adventure through the New Freret; Nathan interviews three great

people that are redefining the word geek; and the entire staff pitched in to give

a report on the thriving New Orleans tech scene. Its nice to know that “geek” is

the new “cool.”

THE NEW frErET

b y : d o r o T h y y o U n g

The revitalization of the Freret corridor is already stuff of New Orleans legend: with a diverse

mix of residents and businesses, this Uptown neighborhood has frequently had the spotlight

shone upon it as an example of post-blight rebuilding. Support from Freret’s residents and an

active business association (http://TheNewFreret.com) has made the stretch between Napoleon

and Jefferson an inviting locale for new businesses and sparked revitalization of the old. From

university students to colorful locals, The New Freret Street offers dining and play for all.

Marvel new releases? Check. Batman back issues? Check. The newest Chew trade? Check. CCC was one of the first denizens of The New Freret, relocating post-Katrina from their original UNO neighborhood digs. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, offering reasonable prices and plenty of promotions inside an invitingly signed and postered locale.

Freret street Po-Boy and donut shoP Family ownership is evident in this no-nonsense comfort food emporium. young folks clear tables while sweet smiling aunts layer shrimp po-boys behind the counter, placing chocolate twists carefully in a white paper bag. Freshly baked donuts and daily specials comprise the best home-cookin’ you’ve never had because—let’s face it—owning a deep fryer filled with lard is a commitment that few mothers have truly achieved. Once, my friend walked in towards the end of the day for some red beans and walked out with the rest of the pot and two boxes of donuts. This hole-in-the-wall find will take care of you like they would one of their own.

The new digs across the street have increased Dat Dog’s staff from 10 to 50, if that’s any indication of the change in the air. Indoor and outdoor seating has increased, yet continues to come at a premium: I’ve watched some serious hovering occur to claim a table when the weather was nice out. I’m digging the additions to the menu (nothing has been removed as far as sausages are concerned), and as a self-considered frites connoisseur, I’m a fan of the loaded options beyond plain or cheese (White Trash Fries are as delicious as they would be an excellent band name). Prices have gone up approximately 25%, perhaps to absorb overhead in the newly painted and flag-hung building. A full bar gives you the option to imbibe beyond the basic Abita, and can be taken advantage of during happy hour from 4-7 PM. Try coming between peak hours to avoid the inevitable-of-late lines.

When on the lookout for that sweet treat cool down, don’t give in to chemical syrup cravings. Beaucoup Juice serves snoballs and freshly squeezed juices made from real fruit and straight up ice. Flavors range from the simple Night Tripper (Beet, Orange, and Ginger juice), to the exotic Cantaloupe Basil Lemon snoball special. I’ve picked out crunched up pieces of watermelon seed missed by the human doing the fruit squeezing, except she’s so nice I can’t bring myself to complain about the extra effort. Warning: their hours say Monday – Saturday 11-7 PM, but their laid back New Orleans attitude means at any time the owners might leave for an impromptu trip to South America and not update their Facebook, leaving you at a sweaty humid loss.

ComPany Burger 5

Considered the leader of the New Orleans burger bar charge, Company Burger and their organic grass-fed patties more than deserve their spot at the helm. Before tomato season ends, get yourself right and enjoy a double-patty with a fat slice of Creole tomato. The committed-to-simplicity old school cheeseburger, undressed, with melty American cheese, offers up a limited-time fibrous addendum. Due to Chef’s vow to stay as local and organic as possible, June through August is going to be your only chance to dress a Company burger with a tomato delight. Add a Southern Star blonde ale, an order of tater tots, and some chipotle mayonnaise, and you’ve got yourself my planned exit-meal.

Porphyrophobia means fear of the color purple and if you suffer from such, you will be unable to walk through Pure Cake’s joyfully vanilla scented lavender doors. I pity you. For behind the violet fondant wedding cake display lays a case of wedding cake, bread pudding, or salted caramel-filled cake pops and red velvet miniature cakes. Daily business for this newer kid on the block, only open since February, revolves around keeping the aforementioned case full, as well as baking and decorating made-to-order specialty cakes for birthdays and weddings. Let’s adapt that salted caramel pop into a cake flavor and decorate it in black and gold for my birthday. Please.

ThREE INTERVIEWS WITh NEW ORLEANS ChANGEMAKERS

Molly Oehmichen

Editor-in-Chief, Silicon Bayou News

https://twitter.com/mollyoehmichen/

http://siliconbayounews.com

MOLLy OEhMichEnWhat brought you to New Orleans?

I was born in New Orleans and I have

strong family ties to the area. We moved

away when I was three and I lived in a

few different states growing up. My entire

family has always considered New Orleans

home, so when I had the opportunity to

attend Tulane it was a no-brainer. I moved

back permanently in 2004 to attend Tulane

and bought a duplex in the Irish Channel in

2010. I’m here to stay!

What keeps you here?

The same thing that keeps most New

Orleanians here keeps me here: an intense

passion for the people, history, culture, and

undercurrent of emotion that makes this

city so special. I’ve made a lot of sacrifices

to be here and I will make many more to

stay here without thinking twice.

What are you doing to change the world?

I like to think I’m doing my part to

change the world by living openly and

passionately. I care about what I work

on: making good connections and good

products, writing something worth reading,

and creating value at every opportunity.

Channeling my passion for technology and

entrepreneurship into Silicon Bayou News

has been a great learning experience. I’m

looking forward to taking everything in my

life to the next level and having even more

successes to share in the future.

Who are you doing it for?

Everything I do, at the end of the day, I have

to say I do it for myself. Selfishly, I want

New Orleans to be a better city to live in

because I live here. I want the tech and

start-up community to grow and flourish

because I’m a part of it. I want better work

opportunities, safe streets, and top notch

schools so that we can recruit the best

talent and I can one day raise my own

children here.

I don’t think I know everything about what’s

best for New Orleans or even for myself. I

do know what my long term goals are and

(almost) everything I do is done with those

goals in mind.

What is the perfect Silicon Bayou

News story?

The perfect Silicon Bayou News story is a

story of success. I love getting the chance

to write about companies that have raised

funding, launched successful products, and

brought high value jobs to the region. It’s

also important for us to cover challenges

and growing pains. Silicon Bayou News is

really about highlighting and learning from

our successes, failures, and opportunities

alike.

Who is your dream interview for

your site?

My dream interview for Silicon Bayou News

right now is probably Brad Feld. he’s been

a huge part in the start-up success of

Boulder and the growth of TechStars as a

national accelerator movement. he’s also

very real, personable, and actively trying

to get more women involved in venture

capital and entrepreneurship. Overall, he’s

someone I think we can all appreciate and

look up to as a great community leader.

What’s one thing I haven’t done in New

Orleans that I need to?

Find a good clean levee and roll down it.

We’re all working hard - sometimes it’s

good to take a little break and remember

what it feels like to be a kid again. Just

watch out for those sneaky red ants.

What brought you to New Orleans?

I went on a super busted trip around the

world in 1999. I was dangerously broke,

but I managed to make it from hawaii, Fiji,

New Zealand, Australia, Thailand to Greece

and every country in Western Europe. From

England I went to New york, Florida, and

finally New Orleans. I was here for four

months before moving back home to Los

Angeles. I lasted two months in L.A. before

I moved back to New Orleans. I did the

back and forth trip of denial three more

times before I finally gave in and realized

that New Orleans was home. I moved here

for good in February 2005.


The insanity: this place is like Wonky World

and I love it.


I make radio. I cohost a queer focused

neo-music radio show called POOF! The

Pop Show on WTUL, which hopes to be an

alternative voice for the queer community

and a presence for my people on the

airwaves. I like to think that my cohort,

Plan B and I, make agenda radio without

an agenda. Being ourselves is sort of the

plan and in doing that we are making

something really honest and heartfelt that

is also really fun and has mass appeal.

When I hear from grandmothers and

gangbangers that they love our show

and all its panty tracks, I know that we

are doing something extraordinary and

that makes me happier than I could ever

intelligibly convey in words.


When I started doing radio I was doing it

for my friends. I played things that I knew

they would like, that I was sure they hadn’t

heard yet. I loved to think that these songs

I was playing would end up on repeat on

my friends’ iPods and phones.

Now, I would have to say we do it for the

callers. When we hear from someone that

they like our show, we always make sure to

ask his or her name. We put those names

on a shout-out list on our website, and

every week we recite the growing list. It

keeps us focused on the purpose of POOF!,

because it’s easy when you’re on a project

like this to get stranded on some crazy

trajectory. The callers really keep

us focused.

Last radio show you do before you die.

What song do you kick off with? What do

you end with?

The song I would open up with would be

“O Mio Babbino Caro (hudson Mohawke

Remix).” What can I say, this is a fantastic

song. It was released by Rockstar Games

as a single for their 10th anniversary of the

family friendly game, Grand Theft Auto.

The closer is a bit tougher, but without a

doubt Moby’s “The Right Thing (Kleerup

Remix)”, would be it. The original song

is ridiculously good in its own right, and

on first hearing that there was a remix I

approached with caution. After hearing the

Kleerup version however, I was cured of

my love for the original.

Who is your dream caller in to WtuL?

What does he/she request?

Our dream callers are really the people

you wouldn’t expect to be calling a show

like ours. Anything that sets expectations

and stereotypes on their asses makes me

feel like all the long hours are worth it. We

have these two ladies who work downtown

across from the Superdome and have eight

grandchildren between them. They work in

the same building and didn’t realize they

were calling the same radio show until we

put them in touch with each other. We’re

working on bringing them in the station

together and having them host a show

with us.

We don’t really get a lot of requests for our

show because most of our listeners know

that it’s pre-programmed. Plan B and I

spend all week combing the interwebs

for new music, fielding submissions, and

answering e-mails to produce POOF!.

When we do get requests we ask if the

song they want to hear is newer and if it is

we try to slip it in, absolutely.

What’s something I haven’t done in New

Orleans that I need to?

have you ever scattered pigeons in

Jackson Square at sunrise? Try it

sometime. Cup of Café Du Monde coffee

in hand, be the first thing that the birds,

sleeping homeless, and the Cabildo gates

see at 6 a.m. There’s nothing like it. It’s like

you know a secret about New Orleans that

nobody else does.

PAtRiciA Quinn StOkESWhat brought you to New Orleans?

I came to New Orleans in 2001, sight

unseen, to study graphic design at Loyola

University. I grew up in a small suburb of

Boston. Needless to say New Orleans was

a hUGE adjustment. homesickness almost

got the better of me a few times but I

toughed it out and now wouldn’t have it any

other way.


First and foremost my wonderful husband

and an amazing group of friends. Many

of them are locals. My husband was born

and raised here, he runs his family’s

small business, Leah’s Pralines, a

French Quarter sweet shop. We are firmly

grounded in this city and its history.

Secondly the culture and lifestyle solidifies

my decision to make New Orleans my

adopted home. The people, the food, the

culture, the varied neighborhoods all make

me love New Orleans.


That’s a big question! I think the best

answer I could give would be that I try to

live my life with awareness of others. I

am a firm believer in community and that

working as a team can reach far better

results than working as individuals. I try

to apply that idea to all aspects of my life,

and I find that it is a fairly common belief

among the people of New Orleans (another

reason I love it here).


The common good. No one person or group

in particular.

tell me about P.S. Creative.

Based in New Orleans but accepting

clients from all over, P.S. Creative offers a

variety of packages from invitation suites to

full event styling. My dream client will let

me bring their vision to life in every detail,

from beautiful invitations to stunning decor

and personal touches, but I am more than

happy and eager to assist on any scale and

budget.

how does this city inspire your design?

The history of this city is steeped in graphic

tradition: from typography to advertising

there is an endless supply of inspiration.

Some of my favorites are the old business

signage painted on the sides of some of the

buildings along Canal Street and the CBD.

As New Orleans makes its mark as a 21st

century city, a great eclectic niche is being

carved out by young creatives like myself,

who want to bring bigger city ideas to our

humble town, and that entrepreneurial

spirit drives me.

What marks a great designer?

Being open to constructive criticism,

understanding that you can never stop

learning and being inspired by others.

What’s something you haven’t done in

this city that you are dying to try?

There are so many quintessential New

Orleans restaurants I haven’t tried:

Commander’s Palace, Dooky Chase, Willie

Mae’s. Oh, and I’ve never had a Sazerac.

CONFESSIONS OF A yOUNG PROFESSIONAL WITh TOO MUCh STUDENT LOAN DEBT

DEAR SALLIE,

When we first met back in 2001, you were like a breath of fresh air and quickly became someone I heavily relied upon. you helped me get into college and, despite many attempts of partying my way out, you helped me stay there. you paid for my ridiculously overpriced tuition when my parents refused, and even gave me extra money for books (which I never bought), a sweet apartment with my best friend, all the latest fashions, and bar tabs at all the local watering holes. When the holidays came around, it was you who financed my trips home to see my family and it was you who bought all of their gifts (or maybe I didn't get them any gifts, because I was seemingly a broke college student and bought myself some new shoes).

you were like my rich grandmother spoiling me for years, and then just when I needed you most—after graduation when I couldn't find a job—you cut me off cold turkey. I am adult enough to accept the fact that you probably thought you weren't doing me any favors by continuing to support me, but it's this Indian giving to which I take offense. Not only did you decide that—six months out—I was to give it all back, now you want every penny I have ever earned on top of that.

I was not old enough to legally drink or gamble but was apparently old enough to sign my life away to you

I will probably never be able to own a home because of you: the monthly payments you are requesting would surpass a mortgage on St. Charles Ave, and I still have rent to pay. I am afraid to have kids, because I know by the time they are ready to go to college, I will still be indebted to you and would never want you exposing yourself to them. I probably can't get married because there's some bullshit about your debt becoming their debt and I am a hard enough sell without looking into my financial records.

In short, you ruined my life. My therapist (which is free, by the way, because of you I can't afford a decent one) told me that I have a problem keeping toxic people in my life and that the best way to end that is to write them a letter telling them how they hurt me and to say goodbye.

I was not old enough to legally drink or gamble but was apparently old enough to sign my life away to you, letting you destroy my credit score and drown me in insurmountable debt. The way you prey on our youth should be a crime. It doesn't help that the economy went to hell as I was entering it, but that didn't stop you from salivating at the mere crumbs I was bringing home—even if it was from an unemployment check.

The only thing my education has gotten me thus far is the knowledge to know better than to ever get caught up with the likes of you again. So, I am saying goodbye. That means no more calling: me, my family, or any prospective employers. you clearly can't take the hint and I have nothing more to say to you.In short Sallie, Mae I suggest you leave me alone?
