US Coast Guard Video of Katrina Rescues

The US Coast Guard was first on scene after Hurricane Katrina and took the lead in the rescue efforts. We all remember watching on television as helicopters hovered, lowering rescue swimmers onto rooftops to hoist survivors to safety.

Because I have made such cool connections in the Coast Guard, I've been able to snag an absolutely amazing video of many of those rescues. Seriously, it is an incredible video that will make you even more proud of our local Coasties. Stop by The City Wine Sellar anytime in the next three weeks or so to view it on the TV in the wine bar.

PS -- My boyfriend stars in it. Thanks, Patrick Gorman.

If there was just one word to describe Chuck Hodges, it would be eclectic. But who wants to limit themselves to just one word! Energetic, entertaining, super-duper talented -- I could go on and on. His mix of music is to die for! I can guarantee that if you're a musician, you will be both jealous and in awe at the same time. Chuck can play and sing just about anything. And he does! So, don't miss him this Friday night at The City Wine Sellar. He'll be there from 7:00-10:00 pm. Deli fare served until 9:00 pm. Stop by and visit with him and friends (you know he always invites friends to join the band and join the fun).
