10:56pm: Missing JazzFest and JazzJest!
It's JazzFest time, last weekend and this, and the first time since '98 I'm not there with my pals Rand & Duncan & Mello. Couldn't afford it this year. And to make things worse, Rand & Gillian & my goddaughter Indigo invited Dunc and me up to Gillian's camp in the mountains, and Duncan and I were gonna go for the long weekend, JazzJest and Frisbee-Golf in the woods. But, alas, the forecast was snow and rain, plus I'm basically a hermit. Fact is I plain chickened out. Oh well, another good time I'm not having. Apologia to my pals Rand & Gillian, it's probably sunny and 78 up there!
Meanwhile, I've been listening all week to live simulcasts online from New Orleans, and you can listen to WWOZ-FM LIVE if you like, as well.
It's JazzFest, enjoy!
p.s. Special greetings to my Chef Crew, out there about 25 rows from the front of the Acura Stage. Sorry we missed you this year, guys.
