Wrecking opportunities Wednesday through Sunday
There are several opportunities to get your wreck on this week. This is short notice on all of these, complicated by the fact that the Arabi Wrecking Krewe's web site is currently down, so please pass the word as much as possible.
Wednesday, October 4: The Arabi Wrecking Krewe will be helping pianist and music historian David Bodinghouse try to salvage artifacts from his house. This job is time-critical since David is going on an extended European tour soon.
Thursday, October 5: The AWK will return to sax player, band leader, and Jazz Fest regular Al Belletto's house at 3138 Toledano.
Saturday, October 7: The AWK will be doing a full gut of Jacques Gauthier's house.
Sunday October 8: Various bloggers with AWK support will take on day two at Gentilly Girl's house, 2918 Annette St in Gentilly. We cleared all the stuff from the main house last time, so this time we'll do the stuff in the apartment, the big appliances, and start on the sheetrock and plaster. We are hoping to be able to use the Arabi Wrecking Krewe equipment like last time.
If you can help at Gentilly Girl's house, please sign up on the ThinkNOLA Wiki.
For the other AWK jobs, contact Brian da Fiyaman: west270 at netzero dot net.

Ray, I know that you don't do this for this, but I have to tell you how blown away I am by what you (all of you) are doing.

What up Ray-- I talked with Sheik today and am sending a nailgun any day now. Going to try and send one a month for a few months (or a load of wheelbarrows, or whatever y'all need). I'm po', but I'm gonna take a chunk out of each check for as long as I have checks coming in. The first one is the Peter Dombourian Memorial Nail Gun.
Hold down the 'hood for me...
XOXOX Robin

Hee! We can have the Official "Band Trip" line of wrecking gear. Next will be a stylish "Delfeayo Does Disney" tool belt and ratchet set.

Ray, on Sunday, after Saturday's Tulane-Rice game, some of the MOB and Tulane band members will be joining up to do some wrecking in the Lower 9th with a group called Safer. I don't have any more details than that.
