Chelsea’s must rezone or face shutdown
Chelsea’s Café is being backed into a corner to change its rezoning status. David Remmeter, owner of the popular Perkins Road restaurant and live music venue, pleaded “no contest” to charges of operating a bar without a license to do so and agreed to pay a $2,000 fine. His restaurant license is suspended for one year unless he meets certain conditions from the Louisiana Bureau of Alcohol and Tobacco Control, such as changing the zoning status to reflect operating as a bar. If Remmeter loses his restaurant license, he will be forced to shut down the business.
“The other part of the stipulation is he has a choice to get his city restaurant license to match the one he has from the state, or he can rezone and receive a bar zoning that would allow him to get a license from the state, called the restaurant conditional permit,” says ATC Commissioner Murphy Painter, who explained with that particular zoning, Chelsea’s Café can be a restaurant until 9 p.m. and be a bar until closing time, as long as ratio and qualifications are intact and there’s no zoning issues within the area. “That’s how complicated it is. I’m not a demon. I just do what I have to do.”
Remmeter says he is working to get his rezoning status through the Metro Council. In the meantime, he says, Chelsea’s will continue offering a full menu all day and live music after 10 p.m. Remmeter says that at his old location by LSU, alcohol sales outnumbered food sales. Since he moved to the Perkins Road overpass, food sales have surpassed alcohol sales. Painter, however, argues that the records show Chelsea’s is “selling barely more food,” which still puts the restaurant out of qualifications to be considered a “bona fide restaurant.”
“This is just the tip of the iceberg,” says Remmeter, who adds that a few restaurant owners in town are looking at ways get around the ATC restrictions. “It’s a big deal. We’ve got a strong business; people like this place.”—Rebecca Breeden

This is ridiculous.. Why can’t Dave just run a restaurant that serves good food and supports live music?

Founder: Voodoo Can’t Move Date, Location – New Orleans News Story – WDSU New Orleans
NEW ORLEANS — The founder of the Voodoo Experience says a communication error with City Park means that one of the area’s largest outdoor music festivals may not happen this October.
WDSU first broke the story Monday that Voodoo was seeking to move the event to the last weekend of the month to coincide with Halloween, but that prior bookings at the park made that impossible.Festival founder Steve Rehage said Tuesday that he had agreed on the new dates with City Park officials. He said someone even updated the dates on the park’s Web site just before Voodoo officially announced its Halloween plans.”They actually posted the date change on their website on Feb. 16, 10 days before we sent out our press release and changed our Web site,” he said.But City Park leaders say they can’t understand the confusion, because Voodoo has secured the same dates with the park for the past five years.

Dinah Lohan : Doesn’t Quite Get the 140 Character Limit on Twitter
Check out her Twitter site: Twitter / dinalohan. Every one of her posts ends in mid thought. Maybe someone should tell her the whole idea is to get the point across in 140 characters or less… maybe not.
UPDATE:
Several people on twitter (including myself) have tried to explain to Dinah that there is a 140 character limit…and she seemed to get it ..kinda..by the looks of the post below…but it doesn’t appear to have made a difference.
“i have heard from some people like @wendywings that tech support is not censoring me there is a “limit” well how come i type more but when i

What We Rocked on the Way to School – Mark Ronson – God Put a Smile Upon Your Face
I try to expose Grace to as much music as I can. She gets stuck in a rut and only wants to listen to certain songs at times. Currently, it’s MUSIC by Madonna and I Know I Can by Nas (thanks, Joe.) I keep my iPOD on shuffle most of the time and this is what was on this am on our way to school. We rocked it hard.
