I just got back to Vegas about an hour ago. What a time we had down in New Orleans! I'm just going to post some pictures for now, but will give the full report on Thursday. I'm too tired to write much and have to be back in my cubicle in 7 hours. Weh.
My sister Lori and I have a million JazzFest pictures that look like this.
The two Donnas. Donna on the left is my friend from Vegas. Lori and I have known Donna on the right for 45 years. She's cute as a button, that one. And she's a new grandmother!
Here I am with my friend Jerry. I met him when I was in grad school; we both had shows on WRPI. He lives in New Orleans now.
It doesn't look that crowded in these pictures, but it was packed on Saturday. I've never seen it like that. I think Bon Jovi was a big draw.
I saw this guy Sunday morning in the gospel tent. He gets the best t-shirt award. Too bad Dewey Cox wasn't playing at JazzFest!
I can't wait to tell you about Neil Young's set. In short: OMFG! He was amazing.
Can you tell I was having a good time? I bought that dress from one of the vendors and changed right there on the spot. I also bought two other ones. You can't find hippie clothes in Vegas, so I had to get while the gettin' was good.
I danced my ASS off at the Fais-Do-Do stage. My legs were aching!
Here's Lori and her husband, Russ. This guy is a saint. Would you want to stay in a hotel room with four women (and one of them's me)? Yeah, we all packed in together like college kids. It's more fun that way.
Look--I had the whole row to myself on the flight home. Awesome!
Even though I almost broke my neck in those shoes a couple of weeks ago on my stairs, they're really comfortable. I walked all over the French Quarter in them.
I have lots to tell you and more pictures to post. But the short version is, it was fantastic--another successful JazzFest!

Looks like you had a super fabulous time!
OMG, I'm dying at the beer holder necklace you have! Fabulous!!!!
"Would you want to stay in a hotel room with four women..."
Is this a trick question? :-)
Love the shoes! Can't wait to hear more.
And to Todd: Down, boy!
Yeah, you can't beat the beer coozie necklace! And with that I can keep both hands on the steering wheel. (Just kidding, MADD.)
Todd, you're a masochist.
Great pictures - it looks like crazy fun! Ok - sister and Russ are just about the cutest couple I have seen - like you would see on tv cute.
Dig the beer coozie necklace, but like the hippie dress even better! Thanks for letting us share some of your vacation!
OH such great pictures. I love that you bought a hippy dress and changed right on the spot!
Looks like you all had fun!! Where did you find the beer holder? I love it!!
That looks awesome OMFG!!! Neil Young? Oh I have NEVER seen him live and would love too. I love that you love life and it shows in everything you do!! Cant wait to hear all about it!
Looks like so much fun!!!!!!!!
I love the pictures.
And I thought missing out on the Farmer's Market last Saturday was depressing. Now I know what I missed out on over the other side of the world I am crushed.
Any Jazz Festival's here only attract people over the age of 75! Or they are held at the local RSL (retired services league). Not anything funky like the one you went to.
Lovin' the last photo when it's enlarged.. Awesome!
