Jazz Fest
After studying the weather forecast, we decided Saturday morning to take a chance on the Jazz Fest. We packed our sunblock, rain jackets, and all the other miscellaneous stuff that resides semi-permanently in Katrin's Timbuk2 bag, and heading for New Orleans. We found a decent parking spot after a little searching, got our tickets and made it in around 12:30.
There were plenty of people there, but it wasn't overcrowded, and we did the usual Jazz Fest stuff - ate some good food, listened to some good music, and generally got sunburned and has a good time. (It was deceptively cloudy, so we were a little late putting on the sunblock.)
Dave Matthews was the big act. The Edge (guitarist for U2) was there and played with Dave for the second half of the act. A few fat drops of rain fell just at closing time; I'm sure the staff appreciated that, since it helped to clear the crowds out.
Our parking spot turned out to be perfect - we drove away and hit the road without any traffic issues.
