...come to see—a quirky electro-rock outfit called Out Hud—gave us well more than $10 worth of sweat-drenched dancing. t.t.’s ticket prices are modest even for their most anticipated shows. They usually go for $10, and rarely rise above $15. The club itself is as cramped, dark, and sweaty as it should be. The bar (open to the happily wristbanded) divides the perpetually crowded performance room from a more loosely packed lounge with tables and chairs.

Orgish.com provides another online cache of horrifying images, advertising itself as providing “a service to the world by showing something the regular news will...
...even as they resigned themselves to the fact that their homes, as they are now, are lost to them, most, like Hagan, dug in their heels on the controversial subject of whether the vulnerable, low-lying Ninth-surrounded by canals and the Mississippi River-should be allowed to rise from Katrina's muck. "How many times have they rebuilt Florida after something like this?" asked Hagan, a housekeeper for the nearby Jefferson Barracks that house the National Guard.
