    The Rave Rec'ers are heading to New Orleans!!!

    Some of you may remember that I posted some months ago to ask if anyone was interested in joining me on a trip to the famous New Orleans Jazz Fest next year. I am posting this update in case anyone else had an interest in attending. It looks like at least eight of us will be there and I still have some hotel rooms reserved if anyone else is interested. I can cancel the room(s) right up until the day before the Fest, so no worries there.

    Anyway, we're heading there for the second weekend of the Fest, which will commence on April 29th and end on May 1st. That's four days of great live music for only about $20 per day per person. The lineups have not yet been announced, but it's always excellent, with plenty of variety to please everyone. The very name is a misleading because there will be plenty of blues, rock, folk, zydeco, R & B, along with Jazz, so don't get the wrong impression. This will be my second Jazz Fest, and I promise that you will not be disappointed or I'll pay for your trip. Ok, that's a joke, but you will like it. We'll also be heading to the infamous French Quarter and to some late night blues clubs, at least I know I will! They go until all hours and it's a total blast.

    So far we have DLD and his wife, ChipB and his wife, AudioBill and his wife, along we me and Mrs. Swish. AudioGirl and her hubby may also show up, but will let us know later. Anyway, if anyone else is interested in joining us, please reply and I'll get you all the pertinent info.

    Regards,
    Swish
    I call my bathroom Jim instead of John so I can tell people that I go to the Jim first thing every morning.

    That sounds like such a blast! I wish we could make it, but we're saving our pennies for a 10th Anniversary trip to San Francisco in June or July.

    I, personally, would give up San Fran to meet all of you folks....but...well...my hubby just doesn't have the same fondness for you all that I do.

    You gonna hang out in the Haight-Asbury district with flowers in your hair? Smoke some mother nature and sing folk songs perhaps? hehehe. Just kidding Autumn. Sounds like a great trip.

    I would love to do both of those.....and Nearfest also. Just can't afford those luxuries at this time.

    Have a great holiday season.

    Hey Swish! I sent you a PM. This trip may not be out of the question for us.

    One of them isn't!

    You all have a great time and help keep each other out of custody, OK? Wish I could go but we're taking two weeks off to do the Orlando thing this year and don't think we can pull it off. These youngin's of mine can really gum up the works on occasion. Just make sure someone has a digital camera!

    We're really looking forward to the trip. I suspect we'll enjoy seeing 'Nawlins' and getting to know some of our fellow Rave Wreckers as much as the music.

    Thumbs up I'm as jazzed as jazzed can be

    Looking forward to meet all you great folks. And the after hours nightlife should be legendary. Last year, Sonny Landreth and another guitar God (whose name escapes me inebriated brain at the moment) played after hours at some dive near the Garden District, geez, how good would that have been? One word of advice, do NOT drink the Dixie beer. It will make you ill you want local in New Orleans, drink Abita, it will make you happy
    Do I have to spell it out?

    Wish that it didn't coincide with such an unsettled time for me, so that I could indulge in Nawlins and the J-fest- last one I was at was ..umm 1984, I think. Ya'll party hard now, ya hear?

    Is it worse than Lone Star beer? Is Lone Star even still brewed?

    Lone Star made a brief appearance here in Michigan some years ago. I recollect not liking it very much.

    Give me a dark stout any day of the week. Guiness will work.

    I still have the 3 at the Hampton, so let me know! I've had the Abita, and I'll try to remember not to drink any other local stuff. I have to warn you though, after a 6 pack or so, I won't be concerned about what I'm drinking, so you may have to keep an eye on me.

    Thanks,
