Dragracin introduces Whyville to the spicy foods and people from the state of Louisiana.

Hello Whyvillians! Dragracin here to tell you about the little boot shaped state(my hometown), Louisiana. Most people think Louisiana is known for cajun creole food, gumbo, jambalaya, and most famous, crawfish. Well, they're right. I asked a lot of my friends if they even new what gumbo, crawfish, or jambalaya even were! Guess what their answers were: no. I was surprised at the answers I got and decided to tell fellow Whyvillians just what these foods are.

Now, first of all we have the gumbo. There are many types of gumbo like, chicken, sausage, pork, beef, fish, shrimp, crawfish, or just plain or seafood gumbo. Gumbo is a soup/stew with optional rice. There are many ways to cook it and if I listed all the ways to cook it, this article would go on until the Saints win the Super bowl. (Just a little Louisiana humor. You can look on the Internet and find some of the many ways to cook gumbo. If you want the best though, you need to come down here in the South.

Glitsygrl continues her series on interesting bands.

Let's here it for Sundays, everyone! Oh, come on . . . I prefer Fridays too, but there is no band called Taking Back Friday, so Sunday it is!

Welcome to the third edition of "The Music Scene"! Before I begin, I want to thank all of you who put the ideas of bands to do in my head, and I hope you enjoy the rest of the series. Whatever kind of music you like, I hope you can appreiciate the music I write about, and are able to take a liking to the bands. So now, to go on, cause we're Taking Back Sunday, all!

Taking Back Sunday was formed in 1999, in Amityville, New York. This band formed like any other band you here about. Just a few guys and a lot of dreams. For TBS, those dreams happened to come true. Taking Back Sunday play a range of music, from soft rock, to songs that make you feel like getting up and dancing. Literally. You should see the concerts, Whyville!
