You’re Not From Here, Are You?
Sometimes (ok frequently) I’m a little careless with my phone. I applauded one to death during a particularly entertaining Michael Franti set at Jazzfest a few years ago. I let one take a swim in a Super Dome toilet at a Saints game…well, a preseason game if that counts. I unintentionally threw one in the […]
Jazzfest Intermission
With weekend one of Jazzfest in the books, I find myself in the middle of my annual between-weekends breather…a three-day laundry, work, and sleep cram session before weekend two cranks up.

While my festival-going began years ago as just a day or two at Jazz Fest, it has grown in to two weekends there, along with French Quarter Fest, VooDoo […]
