Unfortunately this year’s Essence was a covid casualty, but here’s Frankie Beverly and Maze anyway!

For the millionth time.

Ask anyone who's worked hospitality in N.O.

Bayou Classic crowd is utter trash.

Essence folks are decent people.

I had zero issue with Essence fest ppl.
Bayou Classic jackasses mostly total trashy ppl.

I used to work it and would get tipped for the simplest things. Never was treated poorly by anyone either.

Essence= People of color traveling and flying into town for a week of festivities. They patronize restaurants, hotels, and bars.

Bayou Classic= A guy from Ferriday, Louisiana with eight of his cousins that pooled their cash for a hotel room they can barbecue ribs and chicken in. They roll out the next day following the game.

I used to do photo pit at Essence. I'd take working at Essence over Jazz Fest 100 times out of 100. The Dome has AC, everyone is dressed up and partying but they're not shite-faced. It's so much less trashy than JF...

They should have just turned it into a BLM rally so it couldn’t spread Covid.

That could be why they’re in BR shooting each other this weekend.

You would think more and more people would learn about the difference in the two events, but the mouth breathers come out and show their ignorance every single time an Essence thread is on the OT.

Yep. About 10 years ago a group served a cooked whole hog in the bathtub in one of the downtown hotels.
