Baobab Leadership Initiative Silent Auction Gala
The Baobab Leadership Initiative (BLI) will be holding a Silent Auction Gala on March 12, 2010, from 6:00 to 9:00pm at the Louisiana Children's Museum to raise funds for a service learning trip to Ghana. The event will include hors d'oeuvres, tantalizing cocktails, and live local music and will feature a silent auction of distinctive items donated by local artists, retailers, and businesses.

BLI is a student driven non-profit whose goal is to build leadership skills in underserved high school youth and provide incentives and motivation for them to become community leaders. All of this year's 'Baobab Leaders' are from underserved populations and attend public high schools in New Orleans. Along with BLI's domestic programs, which include service learning projects and leadership skill building sessions, the organization will take the students on a life-changing two week trip to Ghana this summer to work alongside Peace Corps volunteers currently serving in the country.

"Travelling to Ghana has given me an appreciation for my own beliefs and cultures; as well as allowing me to meet people with hearts filled with kindness, love and humility," said Jessica Lennox, a BLI '05 alumnus. She is now a college graduate and interested in pursuing a career that involves working with kids that have been abused or neglected.

This year's class of BLI leaders includes representatives from Cohen High School, Douglas High School, O. Perry Walker High School, Greater Gentilly High School, and Sojourner Truth Academy. Since being selected last fall following a competitive application process, they have been engaged in numerous activities that focused on the leadership skills outlined by the students themselves during the first session. Over the next few months, the group will continue to grow as they implement what they have learned in a series of fundraisers, service projects, and cultural research. The program will conclude with the Ghana trip in June.

The Silent Auction Gala is BLI's largest fundraiser and will provide much of the financial support necessary for the trip and its activities. All proceeds from the auction will go directly toward BLI program costs and all contributions made to the organization are tax-deductible.

Doors: 2am (Friday morning)
Show: 2:30am (Friday morning)
Tickets: $25 Advance, $25 Door
Ages: 18+

Thursday, April 29th: Rusko + Big Gigantic presented by Republic, Wagatail and Winter Circle

Rusko
Christophert Mercer, aka Rusko was born in Leeds in 1985 to a musical family. From day one Rusko was surrounded by music. Whether it be his familys pianos, guitars, banjos and saxophonesor the heavy reggae and dub sound systems of later years in Leeds, music has always been an integral part of Ruskos life.

After graduating from Leeds university with a degree in musical performance, Rusko discovered the world of dubstep through Sub Dub and a debut appearance from the Digital Mystikz.

Big Gigantic
Boulder, Colorados Big Gigantic have been killing the live electronic music scene as of late. In the past few months, Big Gigantic went from playing a few club gigs around Colorado to opening for STS9, playing upcoming shows with Shpongle and Bassnectar, headlining shows through the South East and hitting summer festivals throughout the country.

Big Gigantic is the Latest project from Dominic Lalli (Motet saxophonist/producer) and drummer Jeremy Salken. The two-man sound-machine of Lalli and Salken showcases an array of gripping composition combining elements of a DJ and a live band setup, mixing thoughtful melodic ideas, with pulsating dance tunes. Big Gigantic flavors the electronic music scene with powerful sax solos and soulful synth lines on top of super hot beats.

Fire It Up, the debut album from Big Gigantic, combines hard-hitting dance beats and booming bass lines with lush electronic landscapes and unforgettable melodies. This 10-track gem will be available in May 19th 2009 on 1320 Records for free download.

There is a combined meetup and tweetup for New Orleans Co-working (Jelly) which is generally every second Friday ("yellow" Fridays) Its being held in the very liberal Community Church Unitarian Universalist Annex (house next to the rebuilding site.) near the famous 17th St. canal breech. There we have tables and chairs, coffee and soda, free witeless internet, print fax and copy ability for a donation to expenses, clean washrooms and often the whole building to ourselves. Co-working (often called a "Jelly") lets a diverse group of people, self employed, home business operators, job hunters, startup entrepreneurs, authors, artists, creatives, computer geeks, bloggers, volunteers, business, non-profits, etc - all meet to work together for a day or part day. Get out and blow the stink off. Meet interesting people, bounce ideas off them, get advice, form teams. One of the best places for a lone wolf to find a group and the synergy to brainstorm and consult about each others issues and opportunities. The members of the meetup collectively have all the skills and experience most of us would need to improve our own efforts, come and pick each others brains.

The exhibition Between Colony & State: Louisiana in the Territorial Period, 1803 - 1812, and its companion online component, examines the people, places, and events that shaped this fascinating period.

The exhibition will begin with a vibrant and comprehensive display of Miss Pussycat's puppetry, a "parallel universe" the artist creates and channels within her set designs and performances. Hundreds of her puppets will take over the first gallery, spanning the length of Miss Pussycat's career. Arranged in miniature landscapes, her handmade puppets fuse the surreal and fantastical with a dose of whimsy. Functional in purpose and beguiling in form, the puppets enact scenes laden with satire, humor, and wit, while appearing innocent and child - like. Describing the puppets as "portals to the spirit world," the artist explains that the ritual of making a puppet show allows the puppets to assume a life of their own. Her versatile working method as a puppeteer ranges from swiftly arranging puppet shows for rock concert stages, to painstakingly directing videos with large support crews and arranging prerecorded soundtracks. Miss Pussycat's presentation will include the debut of her latest puppet video.

For this event, Bartlett will screen images of his paintings while discussing his influences and evolution of his work. All of this will be set in the exhibition, "Bo Bartlett: Paintings 1984-2000" (currently on view through March 28, 2010).

Admission: Free to members; $10 nonmembers. (Museum members can reserve a seat no later than Weds. March 10).
