Bayou Boogaloo Logo Unveiled!
May 15th, 2006 by Bart Everson
MCNO is proud to unveil the offical logo for the Bayou Boogaloo, by local artist Jane Brewster with assistance from Elena Reeves.
The festival will be held on the banks of Bayou St. John at Orleans Ave. on Saturday, May 27 from 10 am on. There is no admission. The Mid-City Art Market will also be in that location for one day only. We need volunteers!

Wow. I know that sex sells, but isn’t there some other image to reflect the flavor of mid-city? We’ve got to get past the moniker “big easy” (or “big sleazy”) if we want to rebuild a city on something other than selling booze and sex.

Wow, I saw people dancing, playing music, enjoying the bayou, and having a good time. I must have missed the booze and beer bottles. As for sex, it IS appalling to see a woman dancing and baring a knee! What has become of our civilization?!!

Hahahaha. Dear Eva, I’m glad you like Elena’s logo. Wait till you see the poster—the alligator is entirely naked!
Here is my version of the logo:

The poster is GORGEOUS!!! I love it and don’t find it offensive in the least. I thought all of the puritans had left the city when Katrina hit and didn’t bother to come back! They always complained about everything in NOLA anyhow. hahahahaha. LOVE, LOVE the poster!!!!! Good going Janey!!

God help us when people see something unseemly in such a great poster. I am going to the festival just to get one. I keep looking at it and I don’t see any booze or sex. Ok, maybe if you look long enough it looks like she is putting a Judo/Karate move on the alligator. Maybe she is going to “rassle” him to the ground and have her way with him. Inter-species sex, wow. Unless the alligator is a she too, then we have a lesbian inter-species sex poster. OMG, don’t let the children look at it, they will be corrupted. Have a great day and don’t take things so seriously!! The last thing any of us need is more serious stuff to worry about. See you at the festival. I will be the one dancing in my flip flops with a crocodile. Hey, I don’t do alligators….

I don’t see anything at all wrong with this poster, except that the woman seems to be dancing with a dead alligator. What New Orleans needs much less than booze and sleaze is negative people, always looking for the worst in everything. All you down-in-the-mouthers can relocate, we’ll “send you a postcard”. Dead alligator or not, I’ll buy a poster.
