Night Life

Cajun Jam @ Blue Moon Lafayette. Wed 3/10/2010 | more info 6:00 PM. The weekly Cajun jam at the Moon attracts some of the areas best musicians as well as folks from around the globe. Open to all, the jam allows players of all skill levels to sit in and play Cajun tunes the way they used to be played (comme dans l'vieux temps), all acoustic on the back porch. De temps en temps (from time to time), we have someone host the jam. On other nights, the sessions evolve depending on the musicians playing. It's never scripted and never the same, you never know what's coming next or who might show up. You don't have to play to enjoy the jam. Have a drink, dance, just kick back, listen and meet folks from all around the world. No cover!Blue Moon Saloon, 215 E Convent Street, Lafayette Parish.

Mark Story Photography Exhibit @ UL Museum Lafayette. Fri 1/22/2010 - Wed 4/07/2010 | more info Living in three Centuries: the Face of Age, photographs by Mark Story Artist Statement: The photographs for this portrait series were taken in various locations around the world between 1987 and 2005. The Gerontology Research Group estimates there are 250,000 centenarians (people 100 years and older) currently living in the world. In rare instances, people live to 110 years and beyond, inspiring a new demographic label: supercentenarian. The Gerontology Research Group, through rigorous investigation of records, acknowledges about 65 supercentenarians, and estimates that about 350 are alive worldwide today. The idea to photograph people who have lived in three centuries evolved over the course of the project. First, I was simply interested in taking portraits of people who appear worn beyond their years by living extraordinarily hard lives. Those experiences drew me to centenarians, and on to supercentenarians and their stories. Adults $5, Seniors $4, Students $3, Members & UL Students, Staff, & Faculty Free. Tues.-Sat. 10 a.m.-5 p.m., Closed Sun. & Mon. Paul and Lulu Hilliard University Art Museum, 710 E. Saint Mary Blvd.. More Information: 337-482-2278,
