March 1, 2018 By Frank Pizzolato

Ambush Still Speaking As the week unfolds, it is important to remember that there is an election day coming very soon. In New Orleans and throughout the region, it’s time to get off your ass and VOTE! It’s an exciting runoff election. While New Orleans faces many challenges going forward, the runoff election for New Orleans Mayor not only determines who will led us … [Read more...] about The Official Dish

Ambush Still Speaking As we approach Thanksgiving Week here in New Orleans, we thought this would be a good time to use this issue to say our official good bye to Rip Naquin and to bid him farewell. Everyone in the LGBT Community who got to know Rip over the years came to depend on Ambush as their source to events in New Orleans and the region for 35 years. Rip was one of … [Read more...] about The Official Dish

To all the Mardi Gras survivors and the few hangers on who haven’t found their way home YET…Happy Lent. How’s that penance and fasting working out for ya? For all the dire weather predictions, it turned out to be a great day. While the Quarter crowd was not as jammed as some years past, a good time was had by all. The spontaneous ballooning of crowds in the Bywater, Marigny and … [Read more...] about The Official Dish

Thanksgiving has come and gone. I stayed in the City and cooked at home with good friends, too much food, too much wine, and way too much Bourbon Punch, but the 48-hour “food coma” that followed was almost worth it. Now, in rapid succession we move toward Christmas, New Years, Mardi Gras, and the beat goes on and on. Pace yourself, plan ahead, and enjoy every minute of the fun … [Read more...] about The Official Dish

As we approach publication of the final edition of Ambush for 2017 we were all shocked and saddened to hear of the death of Marsha. There are very few times when I am left speechless, at a complete loss for words. I had known Rip and Marty for many years, I have watched the growth and development and success of Ambush over the years, during the negotiations to acquire the … [Read more...] about The Official Dish

Well, 2017 is behind us, finally. The City is at once winding down from the food and booze bacchanal party that has come to be the Holidays in New Orleans. By most accounts, it was a successful and memorable time for locals and visitors alike. Reflecting on what was by all accounts a momentous year, 2017 laid the groundwork for and gives us the great opportunity and … [Read more...] about The Official Dish

So the Christmas and New Year’s holidays are behind us, just in time for Twelfth Night and the opening of Carnival Season. Kudos to Frank Perez for a successful kick off on Twelfth Night with his annual Mystic Krewe du Rue Royal Revelers fundraiser for the Gay Archives Project. The Double Play was a great host location and it’s safe to say a good time was had by all. I also … [Read more...] about The Official Dish

Congratulations to Jason Waguespack and Jeff Morgan and The Forum for Equality, as well as all hosts and sponsors of the very successful fundraising reception honoring Governor & Mrs. John Bel Edwards. Jason and Jeff opened their uptown home for the evening and it could not have been a more present event. It could not be more fitting to say Thank You, and offer our … [Read more...] about The Official Dish

Mardi Gras madness is in full swing, in spite of dire predictions to the contrary, at least so far, the weather is holding up for the crowds. I managed to make it to Gallier Hall for parades Thursday and Friday, many thanks as always to Council member Nadine Ramsey for the invite pass. We hope for continued at least agreeable weather, and a good safe time for the whole … [Read more...] about The Official Dish
