Durst on leaving New Orleans

Check out comic Will Durst‘s account of his harrowing departure from New Orleans on Buzzflash:

Driving down Decatur street. Nothing, not a thing open, at all… except Molly’s, but that’s to be expected. Nobody walking. Only us driving. Not even any cops. Plenty of parking spots. Not a good thing exponential factor five. Finally saw some life up near Canal at Lounge Lizards where “Johnny Sketch and the Dirty Notes” were wailing away to an almost full house including the Mardi Gras and a Half Girls dressed mostly in white feathers and boas. People milling on the sidewalk outside drinking out of to-go cups. Ahhh, semi- normality. Stayed till three.

They eventually get out. Reading it, we were relieved, as it appeared that two of the people we know from NOLA, comics Jodi Borello and Bill Dykes, seemed to have escaped the wrath of Katrina.
