 [Even the devastating fallout from Katrina won't be enough to keep them from coming back, some artists promise. After all, the city's air of defiant bravado in the face of impending disaster has always been part of its allure.] The culture survives, ... It's survived slavery. It's survived everything so far?.

| It has been unbelievably hard to put together and put on. But I think, if anything, [Katrina has] given us an elevated sense of purpose and mission and dedication. I think that Katrina has not only made this year the most important festival ever, but made the festival itself, to New Orleans, more important by far than it's ever been. |
