This is the most difficult computer to work on, a piece of crap computer kiosk in a fast food joint on Bourbon Street.
Honestly while the music has been great, the trip itself has been closer to a disaster, on a personal level, than a grand success. Travel nightmares and not enough sleep are not good combinations. Not fun and I'm trying to move past it, today was better, but moving past it takes two. I don't want to avoid dealing with the issues but I do want to salvage what remains of the weeekend.
Now back to the music. Today really rocked. Saw Lenny Kravitz, Snooks Eglin and Rebirth Brass Band. Plus some straight jazz (Astral Project) and Indian dances/music, a little Gospel and lots of good Cajun food. Weather was cooperative as well. So from a festival standpoint, I really enjoyed myself today. Even met a couple from Federal Hill, how small world is that. And ran into two of our favorite artists. They had a booth at the festival and I walked by it and said, it can't be, but it was. Mitch and A.me who stayed at our house during the ACC Craft Fair two years in a row. They now live in New Mexico, ex-Californians who left while they still could. I'll provide a link to their site when I get back home or find wireless access.
Okay my 20 minutes will soon be up and I'm about to kill the keyboard. By the way, I've so far kept my promise to myself not to get drunk despite all the temptations. Hope to continue this even tonight, especially at 2 am when hopefully I'll be at the House of Blues listening to the Meters perform. Later.
