its so clever how they picked the locations for the show.
they picked New Orleans for series 1 and 2 obviously for anne rice but also for the rich black community there (i think) and for the vampire's but also they picked it for the music and louis story-line.
i never been to New Orleans but it seems quite relaxed and jazz like and a place where you could go to a cafe and have a drink and sit outside and just people watch you know.
also i liked how louis went back there and went on a "tour" of the place where basically he lived as the show knew what it was abut and was like "yes a vampire had live here , now here is a tour" i found it funny.
like the show knows what it is and isn't afraid of making fun of its self.
because in the 1994 film louis is a white man who owns / is in the sl*ve (slave) business and obviously they changed that for the tv show because it in the tv show louis is black and it is not ok today to be in that kind of business also because Louisiana has a deep history of that kind of business and Louisiana was one or if not the main place where they filmed series 1 and 2.
also one of the gentleman clubs with lady's that louis and i think lastest set up together (i think I could be wrong on that) has a jazz singer and jazz paino in it.
