The fact that it has been two months since the <a href="http://www.nojazzfest.com/">2011 New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival</a> did not dissuade Tyler Wing from appearing at the shrine - dressed as Jon Bon Jovi. Watch <a href="http://www.abc26.com/news/newswithatwist/">WGNO ABC Channel 26 News with a Twist </a>tonight to see Tara Jill at the Sacred Shrine!<br />
<br />
Hopefully, this footage will be available online tomorrow, but if not, my favorite part is when Tyler Wing asks if I've ever met Jon Bon Jovi.<br />
<br />
"He manifests himself in the men I fall in love with," I reply.<br />

Their creativity was obvious when they replaced a broken pay phone that is near the International "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" Cyndi Lauper Shrine.<br />

I was delighted to discover this newest altar on the 2900 block of Maurepas Street and was even more thrilled to learn that Louis Poche referred to it on Facebook as the<span data-jsid="text"> "International Shrine to Cyndi Lauper" since the full name of The Sacred Shrine of Jon Bon Jovi is actually "The International Special Sacred Shrine of Jon Bon Jovi." I am proud to see that the tradition of shrines on Maurepas Street continues to welcome pilgrims from around the world. When I asked Poche if the name of the shrine was the "Cyndi Lauper Girls Just Wanna Have Fun Shrine," </span><span data-jsid="text">"International Shrine to Cyndi Lauper,"</span><span data-jsid="text"> or other, he reminded me that </span><span data-jsid="text">"The naming of shrines is less important than the devotion." May we never lose sight of this.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span data-jsid="text">In honor of the newest shrine on Maurepas, I will be playing Cyndi Lauper (as opposed to Bon Jovi) today.</span><br />
<br />
<span data-jsid="text">Maurepas runs parallel to Fortin - the street by the Jazz Fest entrance. If you walk up Sauvage to enter the Fairgrounds at the Sauvage entrance, you can turn right on Maurepas.

My vision for Maurepas Street has always been that someday each home will host a shrine devoted to a musician who is or is not directly connected to New Orleans Jazz and Heritage. Today I weep tears of joy. Cyndi Lauper performs on <a href="http://lineup.nojazzfest.com/events/2011/05/05/">The Gentilly Stage at 5:25 pm.</a><br />
<br />
<br />
I hope all Cyndi Lauper fans will visit this lovely altar, complete with lace gloves and an orange boa. As Mary Marino Poche explained, "Girls just wanna have fun."<br />
<br />
Below is my reaction and discussion with the shrine creators. <br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">In an attempt to make this weekend's shrine activities more fun and less stressful, I am taking an inventory of where my energy is going regarding the shrine.</span><br />
<br />
<u><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Morning Activities</span></u><br />
<br />
<ol><li><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Depending on the wind, each morning parts of the shrine need to be secured. This often involves a lot of going in and out of the house because I am just not a morning person, and it is hard for me to do anything without coffee, so I waste a lot of time looking for stuff.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Lupe really needs to go for a walk in the morning, so she's a little bit frisky. I imagine playing fetch with her in the back yard will help since walking her is not a good idea (see also: TJ's crowd anxiety when more than 12 people want to pet Lupe within a 5 minute period).</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Writing about shrine on the neighborhood sidewalks with chalk. I actually love writing about the shrine with sidewalk chalk, and the chalk is more effective than flyers are. However, I have to leave the shrine and Lupe in order to do this. I should write with the chalk at night and hope it does not wash off, or beg anyone to help with this.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I absolutely have to eat something before noon. It is a little scary when I think my stomach growling is actually my BlackBerry.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Buying ice at Cansenco's can be done at anytime, but if I forget, I will ask somebody.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Dealing with the fact that I am not a morning person and that it is hard for me to pose for photographs while parts of the shrine are blowing around in the wind. Maybe breakfast will help with this? </span></li>
</ol><br />
<u><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Afternoon Activities</span></u><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><br />

<li><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Talking to visitors.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Making Bic lighters. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Trying to not leave anything valuable on the porch but also trying not to have to repeatedly go into the house.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Explaining that I will never scold Lupe for barking at strange men who try to enter the house or go up on the porch or touch me. I have trained my dog to protect me. She barks because I cannot.<b style="color: #660000;"> I should make a sign about Lupe and make it more clear that the porch and the house are off limits. </b></span></li>
</ol><u><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Evening Activities</span></u><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This is the fun time when people visit the shrine, and I really love the evening. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The Contests are from 1 - 9 pm, and I can handle that. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I have been wearing a fox tail on my tool belt for a year, and a woman pulled it off because she loved it so much, so I had to sew my own tail back on. I did not lose my temper. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The Sacred Shrine will be able to receive guests this weekend, but if anyone has any suggestions about how I can make it less stressful (NOT suggestions about how I can make more decorations), please email me directly at <a href="mailto:sacredshrinenola@gmail.com">sacredshrinenola@gmail.com</a>.</span><br />

The people at the door of DBA won't tell me if he is in there and I can't pay the cover. I also can't afford to not be at the shrine preparing Mac and Cheese for him. So now I am on Frenchmen Street in tears because I am so tired and hungry that when my stomach growls I think it's my BlackBerry vibrating. But it is not. I ordered BJ Sandwich for luck and then I am going home. Never should have left the shrine. See also: I'll sleep when I'm Dead.
<br>
<br>I did see Michael Patrick Welch who gave Jon Bon Jovi a copy of his book and shook his hand.
<br>
<br>So I don't know if the shrine will be ready in the morning. All I have to do is make Mac and Cheese, but I am not sure how I will do it unless I prep it tonight. Mardi Gras Indians are here.
<br>
<br>So I cried and now I am too embarrassed to even meet Jon Bon Jovi. I didn't know what I'd say if I did meet him anyway. I guess I thought he would want to meet me. Maybe see the guestbook?
<br>Hoping it will never end,
