I'll be there everyday. We set up our main site in front of the Acura stage but I spend most of the time in the Blues tent

Good luck getting beer/going to bathroom at the big shows!

I'm usually there 4-5 days year. ALWAYS in the Blues tent.

I'll be there all 7 days too

I'll be meandering Friday/Sat, but I'll have my arse planted firmly at Acura on Sunday. Not sure what the plan is for next week yet.

Original Meters at Howlin Wolf


Very tempting, especially since I missed them at Voodoo last year. Ticket prices outside the venue will probably be through the roof though. I wish B.I.I.G. was playing a show. That's my favorite current NOLA funk group (Ian and Ivan Neville, Russell Batiste, and George Porter Jr.). Kind of like a modern Meters with GPJ still holding it down.

Unfortunately they are scheduled for the same time slot on Saturday...I was planning on seeing Levon Helm (RIP) originally but it looks like I am leaning towards Herbie Hancock at this point.

Yeah I'll probably bounce between the two. Have already seen MMJ a couple of times and will be at Herbie's sunrise set at Congo Square

Cool...I used to feel the same way-then I hit 40. Now I hang on the fringes. I think I was the reason they passed the 8'x8' blanket rule--I used to set up two boat tarps and guard my ground like it was gold.

Anyone leaving the Sauvage St. Gate, if you head straight out to where it deadends on Grande Rte. St. John (about two blocks) there'll be a kid playing a keyboard with an amp out on the street after Fest. Be kind and give him a buck--he's my son!
