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'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:
