Mississippi Happening owes a debt of gratitude to the city
and people of New Orleans for bringing us in and showing us an excellent time
at the Voodoo Experience weekend. Nothing seemed traditional about this
festival – even separate from the entertainment, the amenities were a notch
above the norm.
The food selection was extensive and quite diverse and local
– from specialty seafood to Vietnamese pho to bulk dried fruits. There were
more porta-potties than you could shake a stick at. Security was nice and never
overbearing. Lockers were available for a modest price and there was shade to
rest in everywhere.
The locker was clutch all weekend for enjoying the festival
when work was done. Toyota had some great exercise machines. We drank plenty of
water and enjoyed some great conversations on the rising arts culture in
Mississippi after some of our interviews.
Not pictured is Melvin Priester who
was resident camera wiz all weekend. After downloading the manual to his smart
phone – he was unstoppable.
