Benefit for Sweet Home New Orleans

Our friends at Sweet Home New Orleans — a Big Easy non-profit that provides housing and assistance to musicians displaced by Hurricane Katrina — are the beneficiaries of a major bridal show at New Orleans' W Hotel on October 30, 2008.

But this isn't your mother's bridal show. As the press release states, "Operation Aisle Style is a party, a fashion show and an epicurean adventure inspired by intrepid travelers, libertines, alterna-wedding wunderkinds, Carolyn Gerin, creator of the best-selling Anti-Bride series by Chronicle Books, and Jennifer Stein, Editor in Chief of Destination I Do Magazine." That's a mouthful, but it sounds like a good time. And it's definitely for a good cause.

The event runs from 7:00pm - 10:00pm. If you're in the area and want to attend, RSVP at the Operation Aisle Style Facebook page, or via e-mail.

And stay tuned for more info about our Fourth Annual Artist Activism Camp, which takes place in New Orleans in December.
