Red River Revel
 

So anybody make it to the REVEL yet ? sorry to say I haven't. But for me, these festivals are one of the things that makes living in the area worth it..
A festival in OCTOBER... what could be BETTER !

I hope to make it down there a few times before it's over.

KTBS.COM has listed a schedule.. of happenings going on down at the REVEL.

We spent the better part of Sunday down there with the kids, and had a good time. Most of the artists are regulars from years past, so if you liked what you've seen in prior revels, you'll enjoy the faire this year.

As usual, the food is great, as long as your stomach can handle the extra fat/grease. Pack a tube of tums and have a good time.

and by the way, remember the sunscreen if you go during the day. Even on the overcast days a few hours in the sun is enough to give you a pretty decent burn.

I'm so glad to see the Revel! We sure can use the rain! (ducking) ;)

All that 'threatening' looking weather yesterday.. I think we got a DROP out by Blanchard way. not even a sprinkle. Yup, could sure use some rain!

YES...YES, go to the Revel..eat drink and be merry...and while you're there, if ya see Liz Swaine, walk up to her and "press the flesh"..I know she'll appreciate it.

LOL, I don't want to get arrested! that might be "politically incorrect"! LOL

Is the Benjy Davis Project any good? My wife and I are new to the area and she heard about them on the radio.

I've never seen them.. but you can check it out for yourself on their website

Revel Pictures
 

I took some pictures at the Revel today and posted them in the Sights of Shreveport group under "Revel Pictures". Here they are:

I hope to post a lot more pictures. I could use some help if anyone has any pictures for "Sights of Shreveport", please join the group and post them!

AmSouth Tower
 

Nice pictures, but in your description of the AmSouth Tower you say that it was built by CNB and then sold to a series of other banks. This is not the case, it is not currently owned by any bank, but by a private group of investors (including my aunt, which is why I know this in the first place) and has been for over a decade.

Thank you for the correction. I will fix that right away.
