“To know nothing of what happened before you were born, is to forever remain a child.” – Cicero Before there was Lafitte’s Plunge, Okwata, or The Foundry; there was The Birdcage: F3NOLA’s original Wednesday beatdown. YHC loves a good tradition! It’s always good to go back to the basics every once …
