It is my favorite time of the year – Fall! Call me a basic bitch, but I love me some pumpkin spice. I also love the entire month of October, the best month of the year and not just because it’s my birthday month, although that helps. But there are so many fun things to do in NOLA. Here are just a few to keep your days (and nights) busy. (If you have a fundraiser, party, show or event coming up and would like to be listed in the calendar, please email me at ledgemgp@gmail.com.
