New Orleans Jazz Festival

Anyone looking for a vacation should think about joining me in New Orleans at the end of April.

I've never been to new orleans, although i have slept with a few Big Easy's. clever but not funny.

People say it is the time to go to N.O., rowdy, tons of music but not quite as depraved as mardi gras. The line-up is unbelievable. There are two weekends of it (april 22-24 or april 28-may 1), so here's the debate. weekend 1 has The Roots and the original Meters Reunion and Dr. John...while weekend 2 has BB King (thursday) widespread panic, DMB, Jack Johnson, Toots and the Maytals, Dirty Dozen Brass Band, Galactic, Neville Brothers, Isaac Hayes, Trey Anastasio, Michael Franti and Spearhead, Karl Denson's Tiny Universe......damn thats a lot of good bands. damn damn damn. but the original meters reunion.....damn damn damn. i am stuck. and i need to book flights and hotel rooms pretty soon i guess.

my one friend that has committed is leaning towards weekend 1...we're pretty obsessed with the meters and there's tons of random music to see that would be fun. I'll be booking flights by the end of the week, so if anyone is interested and has a weekend preference, let me know soon.
