ISSUE 2: Sometimes You Need To Dance

EDITOR'S NOTES: In this issue of Killer Rubboard, we remember that New Orleans and Southern Louisiana is a place rich in history and traditions and something special, but also poor in so many ways. Sometimes, when you don't have much, celebration means more and comes in small doses.
