This weekend I learned that the parking garage across from Paula & Raiford’s Disco is now staying open until 6 A.M. Friday and Saturday nights. That’s a very convenient place to park – the garage is at 9 S. Second and the disco is at 14 S. Second. Both are between Madison and Monroe.
The Downtown crawfish festival (Rajun Cajun) is Sunday, April 19, but if you want a warm-up before then, the Overton Square crawfish fest is this Saturday, April 11, from noon to 6 PM. This year it’s moving to the parking lot beside Bayou Bar & Grill’s new location (2094 Madison). Amy LaVere, Snowglobe, Jump Back Jake, and Johnny Lowebow will perform. Free admission.
Another makeover contest: The Eclectic Eye is inviting people to submit photos of themselves in their ugliest glasses. Winner will be chosen via online voting, and will be announced May 7 at a red-carpet reception. Prize is a $1200 value eyewear makeover.
Dollar cocktails at the Silly Goose tonight, 5 to 7 PM. NCAA championship game starts at 8:21 PM. If I stay out to watch it, I’ll probably be at Pint Nite at the Saucer.
