so, any Ouagadougou Recommendations/tips?

I'm leaving tomorrow for a weekend in Ouagadougou. I think this is my third time. I've done a lot of the usual suspects already. I'm more than little disappointed to be missing a lot of good shows while I'm gone. I checked Pollstar for Ouagadougou this weekend, but the pickin's look slim. Very slim.

But…Does anybody know of a good other source for checking on shows over there?

Any show recommendations for next week that you know of?

Anything else brilliant that I just need to do while I'm there?

I hear the Hard Rock Cafe there is pretty tight.

i heard that the fatboy is pretty entertaining there

Look for the girl with the blue hair.

drink lots of beer

gotta have an Ouagadougou Broil

Check out the US Embassy.

I've never been. I heard Ouagadougou is impoverished and the people are dopey. However, I hear excellent things of their afternoon theater:

Dude, anyone in the know calls it "Ouaga."

Don't you mean "The Ouaga", or "The Big Ouagaski", bro?

Looks like Great White stopped there on their last tour:

Ouagadougou's Grande Marché is also worth a visit however it remains to be rebuilt after a fire ravaged it in 2003.

Be sure to try the poulet yassa with couscous!

I just checked Mapquest. There is no Hard Rock Cafe in Ouagadougou !

But there are at least three Applebee's.

What about Hooters. Always good to visit another Hooters.

If all else fails, you know that you can always stop in for a Coke at the local McDonalds.

Yum. Nothing like good old American home cooking. :roll:
