With summer licking its chops, the Ogden Museum gives us a reason to dig out the lightweight garb once again Friday night with its annual Sippin' in Seersucker event. Before we rediscover how airy dressing up can be, Brad Rhines takes the measure of the famed Southern suits New Orleans origins.

Today, Wednesday at the Square gets funky with the Dirty Dozen, lectures around town take on Roger Williams, Ethiopia and voluntourism and Shakespeare returns to the Sculpture Garden.

Today, Breakfast at Tiffany's screens outside at NOMA, American Craft Beer Week chugs along, Fringe Fest hosts a discussion about social justice and two jazz great jazz guitarists team up on Frenchmen. On this day in Louisiana history, Huey P. Long was admitted to the state bar as a lawyer (1915), Elvis Presley drummer DJ Fontana was born in Shreveport (1931), as were blues legend Uncle Johnny Williams in Alexandria, and zydeco master Major Handy in St. Martinville (1947).

Witnesses told WBRZ that Guist appeared to have a seizure.

The Big Easy Roller Girls All-Stars provided plenty of drama on wheels Saturday night, as fans who braved Saturday's rain saw a close and fierce battle on the track between the All-Stars and Memphis Roller Derby's Hustlin' Rollers. The All-Stars dropped a close bout that came down to the last two jams by a thin five-point margin.

The scene was set last night. The bright lights of the Howlin' Wolf. A women's arm wrestling tournament, complete with the sweaty, table-rattling competition we've come to know and love. Why wouldn't Flight of the Conchords and The Daily Show funnywoman Kristen Schaal step up for a special guest bout and..um, wait...is she getting married there?

The week after JazzFest was apparently the perfect time for some finishing touches on mammoth investigative reports. A pair of giant local probes are simultaneously wrapping up and opening the gates, making way for a Sunday reading session to remember. And none of it has to do with football! Over at Da Paper, Cindy Chang kicks off an eight-part series about Louisiana prisons with a look at what crowded jails mean to the state's flagging rural economies. Meanwhile, Fox 8 sleuth-in-chief Lee Zurik wrapped up a stunning four-parter about some Huey Long oil spoils that are still helping his family pay the bills. Time to put on another pot 'a joe.
