I've been to the Jazz Fest. I don't there is a more fun city in the world. The fest starts first thing in the morning and runs until 8pm. You have your evenings free for whatever you want to do and they always have some killer late night shows. I saw the Mule's 10th anniversary show when I was there. Afterwards we checked out Soulive at the House of Blues. Tickets were $40 to see Soulive but there was no way we were going to pay that when admission to the fest was only $20 daily. So we greased the bouncer $20 and he let us in the back door. I remember being surprised when we entered because it seemed like we were back stage.

Long and short of my story. Go to the Jazzfest.

The food at the fest was awesome. Everything southern. I remember eating alligator sausages.

As for Bourbon street, it was just like Mardi Gras.

Party Party Party.
