It's New Orleans: Happy Hour

When Happy Hour photographer Alison Moon went to Paris she was expecting something to go wrong because it always does on her trips. By the time she got to Paris on Friday night November 13th nothing momentous had gone wrong so she thought maybe this trip she d been spared a disaster. Then her plans fell through to go see the Eagles of Death Metal at the Bataclan and the Air Bn nB she d booked in Place de la Republique canceled on her the day before she arrived in Paris. What happened next is history, thankfully history that Alison was somehow miraculously spared from. Over 100 people were killed at the Eagles of Death Metal concert she didn t get to and the neighborhood she was supposed to be staying was the center of other attacks. New Orleans band The Fixers hail from a nearly invisible town at the edge of Louisiana just beyond Slidell and on the not quite married to your cousin edge of Mississippi. It s called Pearl River but don t let the vaguely Asian romantic name fool you. Dominick Blanda and Ryan Duke
