I was told the week is to celebrate craft beer in LA , not craft beer brewed in LA. I know it makes no sense but i didn't come up with it.

You were told wrong. From the press release back in June:

Baton Rouge, LA (June 6, 2013) – The Louisiana Legislature passed a resolution designating the week of September 23-29, 2013 Louisiana Craft Brewer Week in recognition of the many contributions by Louisiana craft brewers to the state. This resolution was sponsored by Representative James K. Armes III and Senator Elbert Guillory and supported by the Louisiana Craft Brewers Guild, a 501 (c) (6) nonprofit organization. The Louisiana Craft Brewers Guild exists to unify the Louisiana craft brewing community, to increase sales of Louisiana-brewed beer through education and promotion, and to monitor and assure a healthy craft beer industry within the state.

The resolution passed lauded Louisiana breweries on the grounds that they have been awarded more than twelve medals for their superior products; support responsible consumption of alcoholic beverages and promote programs, education, and legislation aimed at preventing over consumption; lead the way in preserving Louisiana's unique environment by brewing their products in an ecologically sound manner; make every effort to support Louisiana agriculture by using the finest Louisiana-grown products; and support the enjoyment and export of Louisiana culture by brewing beer specifically designed to compliment and therefore highlight our extraordinary Louisiana cuisine.

“THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Legislature of Louisiana does hereby designate the week of September 23 through 29, 2013, as Louisiana Craft Brewer Week in recognition of the aforementioned contributions by Louisiana craft brewers to the state.”

Well, I guess everyone missed the original intent if the week was supposed to be about La craft beers.
Just got an email from Ave. Pub and they will have the owner of Stone Brewing and a brewmaster from New Belgium as well as special guest from other out of state breweries.

I'm ok with this as I'm sure I will get to try some unusual stuff if they bring some different stuff with them.

I get to drink local stuff all of the time and the New Orleans on Tap event is not that far off if we need the local fix again.

Yeah, it is the lady involved with the Lips of Faith stuff. From the small picture of her at a angle, it looks like she may look good
