On the 3rd anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, New York's Bourbon Street Bar & Grill is supporting the work of The Saint Bernard Project and their "24 Hour Build".
The St. Bernard Project is working around the clock - from 9 a.m. August 29 to 9 a.m. August 30 - to rebuild five homes and build awareness. The owners of Bourbon Street Bar and Grille will be joining the construction teams there to lend a hand. This effort is in advance of their official launch (September 17th) which will serve as a fundraiser for the Saint Bernard Project. Proceeds from September 17th, 18th and 19th will be donated to this cause. Their goal is to raise $12,000, the amount needed to rebuild one gutted home.
If you wish to donate, you can do so by going to The Saint Bernard Project website at StBernardProject.org or by coming to their fundraising events on September 17th, 18th and 19th. More details on that event will be announced soon.

The St. Bernard Project was started in March 2006 by Zack Rosenburg and Liz McCartney after the couple volunteered in St. Bernard in February. During their initial month of service, they met residents who were courageous, spirited and determined to rebuild their lives and community. They shared their stories, opened their homes and made Liz and Zack laugh, cry and question their own values. Inspired by the residents' collective spirit, openness and fierce desire to rebuild their lives and community, Zack and Liz decided to create an organization that would provide vital resources and support to families in a seamless and timely manner. The St. Bernard Project's programs and goals are directly driven by the needs expressed by the community members.
The mission of the St. Bernard Project is to remove barriers for families who wish to move back into their homes in St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana. St. Bernard is a uniquely tight-knit, working/middle class community adjacent to New Orleans' Lower Ninth Ward and is arguably the area hardest hit by hurricane Katrina. The St. Bernard Project, a nonprofit, community-based organization carries out its mission through three primary programs: Rebuilding Program, Center for Wellness and Mental Health and Senior Housing Program.

Their drinks menu includes limited edition Irish whiskies to single malt scotches & single batch bourbons, and they even included a large selection of high-end tequilas. You'll get one point for every liquor you try. When you reach 50 points you will have earned enough for your official Lansdowne Road rugby shirt.
To join, submit your name, shirt size and email address. Once you're in the system, they will keep a record of your points and the product you have sampled. When you stop by, ask your server or bartender for your card so that you can monitor your progress and make your next selections.

GGRD Tailgate Party at American Trash
This is the first blog version of "And Then What Happened?", our on-going chronicle of NY's nightlife.
On Saturday, August 16, we were proud to co-sponsor the Gotham Girls Roller Derby Jeerleaders' tailgate party at American Trash. This was the jeerleaders' first tailgate party, and it was well attended by GGRD fans who got a chance to have a few drinks before the bout, since Hunter College does not serve alcohol at the GGRD bouts.
We met some of the jeerleaders, including Lolita Ford, Rotton to the Core-y, Ada Zee, and Minnie Pearl Haggard. We even met a Gotham Girls Dad, as we had a nice chat with Suzy Hotrod's father. He is so proud of her, but he wishes Beyonslay would lay off of her.
Fans also got to watch video of a previous GGRD bout, before MPH showed us what she learned in Coney Island.
Below is a clip from the tailgate party at American Trash. The Queens of Pain's jeerleader are called the Royal Pains, and their own Minnie Pearl Haggard entertained the crowd with her fire eating exhibition. Not shown in the clip is the knucklehead who tried to put out the fire with his newspaper, or the bartender extinguishing said newspaper:
