Rise and shine! Overcast with 60% chance for rain. Of course, I am up several hours before my colleagues, so I sample the breakfast downstairs, then take a walk up
Tchoupitoulas, over to
Magazine (passing the former Polynesian Joe's, where Gumbo and I famously kicked the Pool Hall Studs' asses), then back into the Quarter, over to the walkway along the Mississippi River. I'm wanting to get out early to the Fairgrounds to catch Mia Borders, Mark is half-agreeing, but with Anchor Barry's pace, it ain't happenin'. While AB does whatever the hell he does to get himself going in the morning, Mark and I zip over to Canal to stock up on water and those cheap plastic rainsuits that look like body condoms (safe Fest).
FINALLY, we walk into the quarter. It hints of rain. We duck into Napolean's just before the skies open. We settle in. Yes, Bloody Mary, please. Rain stops for a bit and we take a cab out to
Toups' Meatery for lunch. We get a sample plate; I follow that up with a great Cuban Sandwich. Great call by Barry.
As we exit Toups', we see a bike pub crawl across the street, so we stop to see what's up. Pool. Darts. It is after three when we finally arrive at the fairgrounds, where we purchase tickets for all four days. First stop is the Lapniappe Stage in the Grandstand to sample Ingrid Lucia, then over to Gentilly for Theresa Andersson, a favorite who disappointingly seems to have lost a little on her fastball. Mark thinks it is because she does not translate well to the larger stage. Over to the Blues Tent where we meet up with the Mark/Lisa crowd. The question is: Patti Smith or Widespread Panic to close? I'm strongly in favor of PS and the PHS's agree. Great call. Patty kills it! I rains like hell but no one cares as Patti gives us a fabulous show!

Superb blog! Do you have any helpful hints for aspiring writers?
I'mplanning to start my own website soon but I'm a little lost oon everything.
Would you propose starting with a free platform like Wordpress or go
for a paid option? There are so many options out there
that I'm completely confused .. Any recommendations?
Thanks!

Undeniably believe that which you said. Your favorite justification seemed to be on the internet the
simplest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I definitely
get annoyed while people consider worries that
they just do not know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and defined out the whole thing without having side effect , people can take a signal.
Will likely be back to get more. Thanks
