From the jacket copy:
Luna met Blue at the secondline; he played bass drum and she danced behind him. The Parade Goes On Without You follows their lives through the streets of New Orleans. For Luna, Blue’s world opens up to her, and gradually she discovers her true place in it.

The Roots of Music
A portion of the proceeds of this book will be donated to The Roots of Music, a not-for-profit organization designed to address the critical need for middle-school music education in the city of New Orleans with the goal of becoming the city’s largest youth marching band.  By rekindling the marching band culture for youths, The Roots of Music is working to preserve New Orleans’ musical legacy and most importantly, provide a productive alternative to street life. Please see therootsofmusic.com for more information.
Friday, 03.27, Room 220 @ The Studios @ Colton
The new NOLAFugees.com site is up and running, thanks to the very competant hands of Desire Studios. We’re still learning the new system and working out the kinks, but we think it looks good, and would like to know what you think. Any comments/suggestions/compliments/accusations should be directed toward editors(at)nolafugees.com.
It’s Tennessee Williams Weekend. We’d very much like to thank Susan Larson for giving us the literary event spotlight for the gig we’re doing at Room 220 of the Studios @ Colton. So if you fancy yourself a literateur, yet somehow don’t have tickets to the Gala, come see us down on St. Claude, Friday 03.27, 8-11PM. Tara Jill and Sarah Inman will be reading; Andrea Boll is graciously reading as well, especially as she’ll be reading from The Parade Goes On Without You, her novel which we’ll be publishing next month.
We’ll also be screening More Will Be Revealed, the mockumentary which features your humble editors as well as the lovely Trixie Minx.
Respect, Eds.
We’re currently redeveloping the NOLAFugees.com website for a relaunch scheduled on March 15, 2009. Until then, we’ll be posting to the NOLAFugees Press site; please sign up for the RSS feed and keep us up to date.
Many Thanks,
J.Lofstead, Joe Longo, the Editors
Dear All:
Our main publication site, NOLAFugees.com, was recently hacked by Russian pornographers.
We’ve decided to take the opportunity to redesign the website and expect to be up and running again around Mardi Gras. Plans for The Year of the Ox include the Jazz Fest release of Andrea Boll’s novel The Parade Goes on Without You and our forthcoming NOLA lifestyle guide, 101 Things to Do in New Orleans (Before You Get Shot).
On Tuesday, 02.10, Handsome Willy’s is hosting the New Orleans premier of More Will Be Revealed, an expose of a clandestine government spy program employing exotic dancers in post-Katrina NOLA. First screening 8PM, followed by cocktail hour Q&A, featuring director Carr Kizzier, dancer Trixie Minx, and former special agent Martin Sullivan. Second screening @ 10PM. Food, Handsome Juice to be served. Dancing to follow.
In the meantime, why don’t you enjoy one of our three books in print? Order conveniently using paypal. Think of it as supporting New Orleans.
Respect,
Joe Longo & Jarret Lofstead, Editors
