I have spent most of the day working on my other site, and well it isn't quite ready yet, and it should hopefully be done in the next few days.

She has made quite and impact on everyone already. She is smart (knows where your nose is). She is a happy baby. I have only gotten to see Aubrey twice since she has been born, once over the Fourth of July weekend when I finally got to Phoenix.

It may not be in one piece. It could be said that I may have killed more than a few brain cells over the past two weeks. I haven't slept much and right now I have been up for 24 hours. I will do my big lowdown on Jazz Fest in a few days, accompanied with some pictures. Tomorrow I will be out at Wednesday in the Square.

If all goes according to schedule, Lisa should be arriving here around 2. We are going to meet up at the New Orleans arena around 4.

It has thrown me off a bit. I haven't taken many pictures so far, mainly because of the rain. Two days of rain hasn't made it real pleasant at times. For the sake of music we endure it. Friday I got out the fest later than planned.

Going through and marking the acts I want to see. Some stay constant, others are added. Really none go away. Unless I clone myself there is no way I can FULLY enjoy every musical act I want to see. We all know that it will change again anyway. Some people have their cubes laminated.

Not that I don't mind, but this time of year seems to go by in such a lighting pace. Really time goes by when you are having fun. So much happens that I am amazed year after year that I can manage to pack in so much to one day. This year will be no exception.

I went on up the levee where I normally take my bike rides. The last time I went on a bike ride was a week and half ago. I was amazed at that point how high it was then, I mean I did know the river was rising but I guess I didn't comprehend it to well.

I am proud to say that I did. I was a little out of it for most of the day. My body took quite a beating from being on that concrete floor in the arena for so long. My knees hurt, my feet hurt, I had blisters and was over all exhuasted. I didn't want to miss out on the fest however. I was willing to power through it.

I just got my schedule. It seems from this schedule that I am in fact working in the arena. I will be putting in some looooooong hours there and it will so be worth it. We are talking about 15 hour days at least. See I wanted the Arena.

The day is OVER??It was a mad training session this weekend. It included a long bike ride, seeing 7 bands in 2 days (6 on Saturday), some sleep, reading, another long bike ride, movie watching and other general nonsense. I have been trying to post a blog all day, but work actually got in the way. Now that I have a second? I am too tired.

Bonerama was nominated for a Jammy Award. Which is kinda like the Grammy's for Jam bands. Except the fans get to vote. So if you have a second, please vote for Bonerama.

One week (and the rest of today) away from French Quarter Fest. What I am wondering is if everyone has gone into training yet for these fests? As for myself I do believe I am in prime form for the fests. Yes, I will be missing two day of FQF (SQUEE!!

We all know that. In my case, I happen to think it IS the best thing. It is actually everything that comes with the music that makes it so wonderful. It is the food and drink that you can consume while listening to the music. It is the people that come out to hear the music.

She would show up every evening and eat, snuggle and meow whenever we went inside.

Again I was so pleased with the tour we took. There were times when everyone on the boat (8 taking the tour plus the captain) would all be quiet and the sounds of the swamp just washed over you. Mainly it was silent with an occasional call of a bird, the splash of a fish (or a gator not wanting boneramafreakhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04420779244738055517noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049164.post-54044295287276149332008-03-25T19:23:00.000-07:002008-03-27T05:23:25.264-07:00Movie MemeA little time waster....please play along. :) (Thanks Pam!!)Pick 10 of your favorite movies.Go to IMDb and find a quote from each movie.Post them here for everyone to guess.Strike it out when someone guesses correctly, and put who guessed it and the movie.No Googling or IMDb-ing.

We went out to Houma to have some food and then the swamp tour. The plan was then to have some dinner and listen to some Cajun music and then head back to the city. We forgot that it was Good Friday, so we didn't get to have the dinner and music portion. We had lunch at Boudreau & Thibodeau's.
