'It'll All Grow Back': Finn McCool's to Get Out the Clippers for St. Baldrick's Day


by Brad Rhines

The fur will be flying at Finn McCool’s this weekend as locals line up to go bald for a cause. Mid-City’s favorite Irish pub will be hosting their third annual St. Baldrick’s Day fundraiser to benefit the St. Baldrick’s Foundation, a charity organization devoted to fighting pediatric cancer.  Saturday’s event is truly a community affair, as the Rolling Elvi, the Big Easy Roller Girls, and Kickball of Crescent City, all have teams raising money and shaving heads to show their support.  


Krewe of Rolling Elvi to Get Off Their Scooters and Jailhouse Rock


by Brad Rhines

The Krewe of Rolling Elvi will add some new twists, turns, and hip swivels to their Carnival appearances this year with the Jailhouse Rockers, an all-Elvi dance krewe inspired by the King’s 1957 film.  The Rockers debuted late last year, but this will be their first Mardi Gras, as they join the procession of Elvi and Priscillas in this year’s Muses parade.
