Did I not post this the other day? I certainly watched it. part one you can see me dancing there in the lower center part of the video. Good stuff that blog is.

Lotsa good stuff, right there.  Thx for sharing that! :-)

Yeah, definitely sarcasm. Sometimes it doesn't translate, but I was so upset I didn't really know what to type.
Also, after reading what I wrote again, the airfare total was wrong. It's 1,000 a piece for round trip tickets, but that's just too rich for my blood.
I appreciate all the thoughts guys, I'm working on alternate plans, but it doesn't look great.

Have you looked at flying into Baton Rouge, Gulfport, Mobile?

Yeah, I flew into Baton Rouge a couple years ago and then drove. Saved like $400. Get creative!

Hell yes, hadn't even looked at that. I'm on it.

i doubt it would work out since we aren't leaving for NOLA until Friday night both weekends, and coming home on Sunday evening both weekends, but if somehow it benefited you I would gladly give you a lift from Mobile to NOLA.

your situation sucks so hard, I am sorry.  :-(

Thanks a bunch man, very kind of you.
I'll probably just rent a car if I can make it happen. Checking stuff out right now.

Just getting around to watching that Mardi Gras Indian video. I'm pretty sure if I were int eh middle of that, I'd end up in a trance. Awesome find.

My tooth was hurting me for a couple weeks, and eating a granola bar the other day, it chipped. Guess there was a crack or something so the added pressure was what was making it painful. Anyhow, the resulting conversation occurred between me and a lady friend:

me: So yeah, it's all good now though, cause it doesn't hurt anymore.
lf: Even so you should probably see a dentist to make sure it doesn't get infected, or expose a nerve or get worse.
me: Yeah, I could, but I don't have insurance so it'd be kind of expensive, it's ok.
lf: didn't you say you got some tax money back recently, use that.
me: I would, but I was going to use that to buy the trombone shorty jazzfest poster.
lf: hahahahahahaha
me: (silence)
lf: (realizes I'm not joking) You're serious? Don't be an idiot, make an appointment.

Goddamn Fest.

3 weeks from right now I'll be waking up in NOLA and trying to convince myself to skip breakfast and just wait for the Cochon de Lait. It'll probably work.

So, I was just looking up flights for my cousin... flying into Baton rouge is still really reasonable... if you're renting a car anyway, I'd say that's the way to go for sure!


I'm so in the mood!!

[gah]

Def in the the mood.

funny pic from Rock n Bowl

Let me help you with that...

So eddie vedder v. esperanza v. astral project?

dirty dozen v. dumpstaphunk? Henry Butler

honey island v. runnin pardners?

And that's just the first day.  :-(

any questions?

As for that first selection, with Eddie Vedder canceling his tour, it made it easier. I've seen Astral Project 3 or 4 times, only seen Esperanza once, and it looks like she's doing the entire new album, o I'll be seeing her. Unless of course they replace Vedder with someone even more mind blowing than Esperanza!  :-o

ALSO:
As for the last day, as much as I love closign it out with the Neville's, the Pres Hall celebration is gonna be chock full o goodies

...Featuring a number of special guests:

Steve Earle
Jim James of My Morning Jacket
Ani Difranco
Allen Toussaint
Trombone Shorty
Bonnie Raitt
Wendell Eugene
Lionel Ferbos
...and More to be Announced

:crazy:

[aphineday]

Yeah, I think we may have something figured out. Thank God, I really do not want to miss this!!!

[JPhishman]

First off that Rock & Bowl sign is hilarious. Haven't seen Kermit yet. Hope to catch him at the fest.

That Pres Hall anny jam was one of the big reasons I had to make it this year. Hot damn there are a lot of good reasons though. This is going to be the shit!    :crazy:  :banana:

John - I've been so horrfied by your situation that I didn't even know what to say to you. Way to bounce back man. Get it!

[aphineday]

Thanks brotha, but it's just life. Would really suck to miss out on this, but it's certainly looking much better.

It does suck that Vedder canceled his tour, but it's not like there are easy choices to make anyway at that time.

So jacked for this.

What?!?! They moved the...  Just kidding. That shit ain't changed in 15 years.
