Southern Decadence XXX

For thirty years, drag queens have organized Southern Decadence in New Orleans. This year, we've hired two new staff members to serve you better (yeah, we're all about service these days)

Out and About in the Decadent French Quarter!

If you're into Guy watching, or Girl watching, Quartknee.com's got you covered. We've also got restaurant tips, weather reports and the battle for the soul of Southern Decadence...

It's not just the heat, it's the humility!

When it rained, steam rose up from the streets and rooftops, that didn't stop the party though. Our new Entertainment Correspondent, Britknee investigates...

Street Beats in the heat

New Orleans has a reputation as the birthplace of Jazz, but don't tell any of the gay bars or they might have to switch formats. I'm surprised to find them STILL sloughing off the billboard hot 100 dance tracks. Even the out of towners played canned sets that didn't reflect the heritage or local culture. I wish Pal Joey could DJ at one of the gay dance bars on Bourbon Street. His jazz style house groove would go down a storm with some of these musicians...

Southern Decadence is a Family Oriented Event!

Of course it helps if you have an unconventional family, like this one I found on Bourbon Street.
