Stella Shout Out New Orleans Tennessee Williams Festival 200

Uploader Description: "Each spring for 23 years, Tennessee Williams afficiendos have been converging upon New Orleans for a week of theater, literature, history, panels and seminars, all centering on the writer most closely associated with New Orleans. But for the past 12 years the grand finale of the festival has been the Stella Shout Out contest."

Here is my second best New Orleans story -- first night there, I am sitting in a bar/restaurant, listening to a great classical jazz band, when I look out the huge plate glass window. Coming down the street .... A Bus Named Desire.

(Desire is the name of the neighborhood Stanley and Stella lived in; Streetcar named Desire was a streetcar headed to that destination.)

Next night, walking down Bourbon St and my attention is caught by a young man, blond, good-looking, who is clearly pissed at his trailing girlfriend. Total yuppy, wearing a pink Izod polo shirt and pastel Madras shorts. Yelling at his girlfriend to catch up: "Stella. Stella. STELLA."

I was happy. A bus named Desire and a yuppy yelling Stella.
