It's another Sunday Funday, and I don't know about you, but my day is packed with goodness. I'm going to start off at Gator By the Bay, my Mother's Day tradition, and I'm going to dance with strangers, enjoy some frosty brews served in plastic cups, and I'm going to suck the heads of some delicious crawfish. After a full day, I'll make my way to Humphreys to see troubadour Rufus Wainwright, whose latest album, Out of the Game, is ironically named since the Mark Ronson-produced record has the media gushing about his greatness. I was thinking about zipping up to the Belly Up for the second night of Delta Spirit, but since I've seen the band so many times, I thought I'd actually head to the Casbah, where the hysterical Todd Barry performs. It isn't often that the Casbah hosts comedy, but I am a total sucker for really great standup comics, so this is where I'll be finishing my night. You probably won't be all over town, but there are plenty of reasons to get out of the house by or or by night.
