Oi Capoeiristas,

Please bring your own beverage(s) of choice.

The address is 1922 General Taylor Street between Dryades and Daneel in Uptown, New Orleans, LA 70115. General Taylor, a one-way street, is between and parallel to Napoleon and Louisiana Ave. Dryades and Daneel are between and parallel to S.

There’s a Brazilian Party this Saturday night starting at 10am at Southport Hall. Southport Hall is a large venue with a nice patio and big dance floor. Come practice your samba and forro (and whatever drunken dance Urso does at the parties to pick up the ladies). The parties are a lot of fun. Prepare to stay late. There is a cover fee (I think $5 or $10 but it’s worth it).

Southport Hall is located at 200 Monticello Avenue where Dakin meets River Road. The number to Southport Hall if you need directions is 504-835-2903.

Also, mark your calendars for Saturday September 8^th. Casa Samba is hosting another Brazilian Party at Howlin’ Wolf in the CBD. More details to follow.

Hope to see you at Southport Hall this Saturday.

Take Freret St to McAllister, and once you turn down McAllister, you will see a large building with lots of glass on your left. There is an area in there called Pocket Park, and that’s where the roda will be. http://www2.tulane.edu/about_campus.cfm its at #29 on the map.

There should be parking in the area as well. Capoeira Regional Club practice at Tulane will take place as usual at 5pm at the Reily Center, so come check it out after the roda. Call me if you have any questions.

We’ll have an amigo ocolto (“secret friend” ie Secret Santa) gift exchange. Rather than coordinating and drawing names before the party, we’ll do it at the party.

Hey y’all,

A reminder that there is a batizado in Houston, and we are leaving tomorrow (Friday) around 2pm. Check out http://www.grupocapoeirabrasil.com/. I think there is room for one more in my car if anyone is interested in going. We’ll come back Sunday afternoon/evening. There are several rodas through out the weekend, and the main event, the batizado, is Saturday afternoon. Admission for spectators is $10, and the charges for participants are listed on the website.

I’m very happy to announce that Professor Cocada and his sometimes lovely wife Rosa have arrived in New Orleans. The capoeira community here is growing, and it’s a very exciting time to be a part of it. Cocada is an awesome capoeirista and a great teacher. His bio is on http://maculele.com/. He will start teaching classes soon, and I will keep you all informed about time, location, etc. If anyone knows of a suitable space that is available, please let me know.

Professor Carlao’s class is continuing at the Fine Arts Center on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays from 630-8pm.

I hope to see you all in class or in a roda.

Hey yall, haven’t seen some of you in a while, but I hope the capoeira bug will get you and you’ll start coming out to classes! A couple of things.

There is a roda this Saturday by “the bubble” at Tulane University. Come down Freret, turn onto McAllister ( you can only go one way), and before you get to the next street on the right is the bubble. This is hosted by the Angola group at Tulane with Curtis Pierre and crew. Starts at 3pm according to the latest report, and they also got some guests coming down from Jackson, MS. Should be a great time regardless of whether you’ve training Angola or regional or miscellaneous. Aaron is hosting a post roda party at his house.
The group formerly known as Capoeira Brasil in Houston is having a Batizado two weekends from now (thurs 11/2 – sat 11/4), and the line up is CRAZY!!! Check out their website at http://www.grupocapoeirabrasil.com/ (click on the link that says schedule, pricing, register or something) and I think they prefer that we register before we head out there. For participating Friday and Saturday, its $75 but they’ll hook you up with a place to stay. Saturday only is $40, which is totally worth it, considering all the great mestres, professors, and instructors that are going to be there, and you get a t-shirt too! I’m planning on going with Cocada and Rosa (they are in Atlanta now but moving to New Orleans next weekend. Yaaay!) on Friday afternoon and staying until probably Sunday morning. They’ve got workshops in the early evening on Friday which I’m not sure we’ll make, and roda from 8-9pm, then on Saturday, its roda, batizado, roda, food, then party. Sounds like a great day. For those of you who haven’t been to a capoeira batizado, this is where its at. Depending on the group, a lot of teachers come from all over the world in celebration of new students getting initiated into the world of capoeira and older students advancing in their ranking. But more than that its a celebration of capoeira and meeting people and having a good time. You will see some baaaaad ass capoeiristas from all over the country, including my first teacher, Mestre Fran. This one will be a good one.

Houston is only like 5 hrs away depending on how you drive, this is an excellent opportunity, people! If anyone is interested, call or email Samurai to discuss details.

Hope to see everyone on Saturday!

Too bad the soundtrack sucks, but the video is excellent, the first jogo, I haven’t been able to identify either of the players, but the next one is Professor Cocada from Grupo Maculele and Professor Nega. The last one is Mestre Fran from Maculele and C Mestre Pequines from Nago. Enjoy!

you care about these words.

Hi there,

I am SAM, an Iraqi refugee living in Lebanon at the moment; I have spent the
last 10 years of my life as a refugee registered with the UNHCR in Beirut. The
last 4 years, I have spent as an activist for peace and human rights (especially
refugees and asylum seekers) on the Internet; I'm also books author and ebooks
publisher. I have launched many campaigns to improve our situation as refugees
in Lebanon and hopefully bring more understanding to our problems worldwide. I
helped make many changes and improvements at the UNHCR office in Beirut; I used
the Internet as the field for my activities (you can read more about that in my
free ebook 'MY CAMPAIGNS'). All my ebooks are free and could be download from my
sites.

This is my newest campaign, it's about the illegal and humiliating actions of
the UNHCR, who using photos of refugees as banners and human-buttons to collect
money. This is an abuse of the dignity and humanity of the refugees and must
stop immediately and a clear public apology present by The United Nations High
Commissioner for Refugees. My friends, I am talking about the pictures you can
see here:

Where you can read the rest of this message as web page.

Also you can read my new campaign 'Urgent, we need smile' here:

For more info about UNHCR and life of refugees you can read my free ebooks. I
invite you as fellow humans and members of the world community to support my
campaign by reading my article on my site and see the human-buttons. The
campaign is to support and improve the UNHCR http://www.unhcr.ch especially
after the last scandals in the UN and UNHCR, just for example:

The refugees allege that UNHCR staff is selling most of the food items they are
supposed to be supplied.
"They aren't supplying sufficient food to us because they sell most of the food
items," they allege: http://allafrica.com/stories/200503140214.html
  Here is another example: Burmese Refugees Withdraw Protest Against UNHCR

"We make demonstration and fast because the UNHCR office in Cairo did nothing
for our problem..." http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/4440730.stm

Together we will build better world.

You could reach me fast via this form: http://unwes.batcave.net/email_me.htm and

Thanks

As many of you know, classes are now meeting at the covered Pavilion closer to the Zoo entrance of Riverview Park (The Fly). After you cross the first set of railroad tracks, the rectangular pavilion will be on your right. It’s on the Mississippi River side of the park before you get to the soccer fields and playground.

We changed the location from the Labyrinth for a few reasons (A) it’s covered in the event that it rains (B) there’s a light so we can train later as the time changes (C) It doesn’t interfere with persons who want to walk the Labyrinth meditation circle.

Thanks for you patience as we continue our search for an indoor space for classes. We’ll bring repellent to the next class for the mosquito issue.
