I had the pleasure recently of being asked to appear on WTUL’s Community Gumbo to speak about disaster recovery, social media, and governmental transparency. As I am sure you can tell I had had way too much coffee first.
On WTUL FM’s Community Gumbo tomorrow morning at 9am. I’ll be talking about Katrina, media democratization, and the social web. Go here and click “listen live” in the morning.
For anyone who may have a desire to listen to my drivel instead or reading it, here is a video interview I did with NOLA.com over the course of Jazz Fest. It’s three minutes of sleep deprived and over caffeinated Loki talking about Jazz Fest, WWOZ, and internet tech.
-Loki, Founder and Blog Wrangler, HumidCity
First post up on the WWOZ DJ Blog, some pics I took over the course of the first day.
Also a moment of humorous narcissism as Laureen at Metroblogging makes me aware that not only is there a fake Loki running around, but also that he is a much better artist than I am…
Thanks to the invaluable aid of M Styborski and his big honking truck we are now well underway with the move. Hope to have internet, power, etc up and runing and be sleeping over there in the near future. Hopefully the next post will be made from here:
(I just love having a courtyard again!)
A chill wind in New Orleans,
Everyone awakes with fear.
Children peek out of windows,
Old folks crack open beers.
A green light ingites the sky,
A voice thunders in our ears.
This one is the big one,
We’ve dreaded all these years.
Buy that last bottle of Chartreuse,
And stock up on deviled ham,
Or flee this threatened place,
Get the hell out while you can.
Take heed Humid City,
This could be the end,
‘Cause Loki’s turning forty,
Say your prayers my friends.

Thats right, all your worst fears realized! I, Loki that is, was interviewed on Air America last night. Kevin Moreau once called me a “carnival barker’s megaphone aimed at a complacent citizenry,” now you can judge for yourself.
Humid City caught the eye of the folks over at the Mike Malloy Show and they contacted me about doing an interview for their begining of Hurricane Season show, little did I realize that I was going to be on air for the better part of an hour! Now, 24 hours later an archive is up so those of you who desire to can hear it in all its acidic glory. Go toThe White Rose Society - Mike Malloy Show Page and scroll down until you see the June 1st, 2006 show, then just click the link! (Warning to those with slow connections, it is a 30.8 MB MP3 file)
EDIT: The Interview begins 30 minutes into the show. FYI
