My friends Amy & Julio came over from the
U.K. for Jazz Fest this year. Laura Faulkenberry came over from
Houston and I went down for a short but great weekend. New Orleans
was looking great and I had one of the best Jazz Fest days ever in my 9
years of attending. The weather was great, the music was smooth, and
the friends were fun. it was a great time.

My niece had sent me Flat
Stanley right before I left on this trip so I was very happy to bring him
along.

This is a group I made friends with years ago on the flight to the festival.
I go visit them every year and they are such a great group. Here we see
the
"before" and "after" Bedazzling version of their official
group T-Shirt. |
This is one of the gang sharing some top-shelf Tequila
with an appreciative Laura.

Back in the Blues tent for some great tunes. |
