Howdy y’all.
I thought I’d drop in to let everybody know that there will be a signing of the book In the Land of What Now this Saturday at the Metairie Barnes and Noble this Saturday from 2 to 3 p.m. This is the book that served as the blueprint for the movie Flood Streets, which I wrote about here at NOLAFemmes a little while back.
This event is the first Louisiana Cultural Economy Foundation book fair and 20% of the proceeds will go to to LCEF, which awards grant money to local artists like Helen Krieger, the author of In the Land of What Now and producer of Flood Streets.
If you want to check out the stories that started Helen and her husband Joseph’s journey toward making a movie, this is a wonderful opportunity.

Such a wonderful and informative blog this is! Yes, do stop by and support the LREC which has given literally hundreds of grants to New Orleans artists.
Thank you for the kind words, Helen. We’re glad you like us!
Hey Helen – I second what Charlotte says. Glad you like the site. I’m sorry I wasn’t able to come by the signing today. I hope it went well and y’all raised lots of money for grants. You’re a very good example of what grants and programs can help us achieve, Helen. 🙂
