Today in New Orleans 11.14.12 Kick off your hump day with a huge theatre festival happening all over the city! It’s opening night of Fringe Fest, and there’s a little something for everybody in the dozens of shows being performed this year. Happy Birthday to Lil’ Boose (birth name Torrence Hatch) born on November 14, 1983 in Baton Rouge. Read on for more to do this Big Easy Wednesday. Today's Events 8.15.12 Today in Louisiana history, hurricane Danny hit Vermillion Parish in 1985, and the Republican National Convention began meeting in New Orleans in 1988. This afternoon, check out the CBD’s newest gastro lounge for their grand opening, and bring your appetite for the free samples. The Country Club is honoring the service industry with Wednesday’s SIN Night, and the Healing Center is hosting Kiini Ibura Salaam and Moira Crane. The Country Club Gets a New Bar, Champagne Room by Shay Sokol BYWATER - Neighborhood favorite The Country Club finished renovating its bar last week into a spacious, 4-sided square walkaround. The changes add breathing room for drinking to its other amenities: a big Sunday brunch, and a saline pool mostly occupied by men whose state of dress tends to vary. Three large televisions are hung over the bar for watching the Saints, or whatever else is on during those terrible months of the year when it's not football season. A larger bar also means more options, including draft beer. Decadence Daily: Sept. 5, 2011 The gay Mardi Gras' Ash Wednesday doesn't come until the Tuesday after. But, with Labor Day on a Monday, many Southern Decadence-goers leave town, making this a day for the most robust roysterers among us. It's the day of "survivors." The calendar might be a little thinner, but the events go on nonetheless. Click through to see the lineup. Today's Events: 5/13/11 May 13th, the birth of the LSU Tiger’s star outfielder, and Lafayette’s own Lyle Mouton (1969). Lyle played for the Tigers from 1989-1991, leading the team to the College World Series three consecutive years in a row. He then continued on in the Major Leagues, playing for the Chicao White Sox. After burning through the Baltimore Orioles, the Milwaukee Brewers, and a brief Japanese sting with the Yakult Swallows (only playing one year with each team), Mouton ended back down south with the Florida Marlins, who he played with until retiring in 2001. Happy Freaky Friday: RIP Chef Coy LeBeau As heard frequently on WWOZ today, chef and downtown denizen Coy LeBeau has, sadly, passed on. LeBeau was known as the Chef of The Marigny's Country Club and could frequently be seen providing sustenance to the mavens behind the mic of 90.7 FM. Those were his gigs, and his cooking was raved about far and wide. But he'll be remembered beyond what paid the bills for, as one elegist put it, his unique charms.
