In New Orleans This Weekend

I’m going to be in New Orleans from Thursday evening to Monday morning! I’ll be there on behalf of Shopify to catch BarCamp NOLA, the New Orleans edition of the unconference that’s changing the tech, creative and business worlds and to catch some of the sights, sounds and nightlife of the town whose motto is Laissez les bons temps rouler!

I haven’t been there in something close to 20 years, and my memories of that trip are studenty, boozy, fuzzy and rushed. I purposely set things so that I’d have Thursday evening and Friday during the day to look around — and I’ll be doing so with my co-worker Edward Ocampo-Gooding — so if you have suggestions for anything we should check out, please let me know in the comments!

I’ll close this article with one of my favourite new New Orleans musicians: Trombone Shorty, doing a live version of his song, Backatown. Unfortunately, he’s on tour in Germany this weekend, so there ain’t no catching him while I’m there:
