America, I’ll be frank; many of us are fighting for our lives a second time. First we were inundated by the ineptitude of The Army Corps of Engineers, and then we feel we were abandoned by our government at every level. You’re all we’ve got left. We need you, the American People, to come to our rescue. In order to rescue us, you’ll be required to eat, drink, dance, sing and generally pass a good time. You’ll be asked to endure the hospitality and friendliness of a city famous for both. It will be expected of you, after sacrificing your hard earned dollars, to continue your patriotic duty by becoming ambassadors and preaching the Gospel of New Orleans to your fellow citizens. The Crescent City has risen! But you are its savior.
We look forward to seeing you. Don’t be afraid to ask for directions, how to pronounce Tchoupitoulas, or which stage to go to at Jazz Fest. We’ll be more than happy to oblige, and we’ll thank you for coming, friends.
