Without a question, New Orleans
pops in my head when I think of music.
There are no ordinary days in this city
and you are guaranteed to find entertainment simply strolling down the
French Quarter. The annual Jazz Fest
wraps up the first weekend of May
and it brings to its stage world-famous
performers like Elton John and some of
the most prominent names in modern
jazz and funk. For more information,

The 3sixteen Type 3S Double black
selvedge denim jacket is iconic. The
double black denim will fade to
grey with heavy wear. The
body has been slightly lengthened, and hand pockets
are lined with a Japanese
fine wale black corduroy. Available at The
Class Room.

The intelligent wireless sound
system, Sound BlasterAxx
AXX 200, will change the way
you communicate and enjoy your
audio. Its integrated SB-Axx1 audio
processor enhances all your audio playback
and recording in real time, bringing you an
audio experience far beyond that of other wireless
speakers. What’s most exciting about this speaker is
that it’s priced well below comparable speakers.

Optical brand KREWE was founded in 2013 by Stirling
Barrett, a New Orleans native and creative entrepreneur.
His vision of the city as a thriving cultural hub was his inspiration for launching the brand. His team passionately
believes in spreading the culture of New Orleans and its
celebration of individual style one frame at a time.
Historically, the term “krewe” (ˈkrü) is linked to Mardi Gras,
a tradition that is uniquely associated with New Orleans. It
attempts to define the diverse group that comes together to
parade in celebration of the Carnival season and inspired
the name which invokes this spirit of creative collaboration.
