Rising Tide Recaps

I'll add more as they come, but here's a couple from Nola.com:

'Treme' creator David Simon says New Orleans may have something to learn from Baltimore. Congratulations all you "young journalists" out there. (Also: slightly different wording on the Mobile version of the article). I also missed the first half of Simon's speech (desperately in need of caffeine), so I was trying to reconstruct exactly what he said from others and it was about 50/50 'nice points'/'Simon is a douchebag'.

    This was my first year attending the Rising Tide conference, and I am glad I went to it. Simon's most thought-provoking point, I thought, was that an outsider could possibly get Katrina more "right" than those personally affected-- I'm not sure I agree, but this was his defensive way of saying stop criticizing for inaccurate details. I love to watch Treme, but there is something not perfectly comfortable about being the subject of historical fiction. Your live post on the oil spill discussion was great. thanks, sp
