More people spending more time and funds at local places. The crowd to me was wonderful, more sales, more good PR about us all over the globe. Fest is so much better than MG and a lot better vibe. I take Fest every 90 days and be happy. Fest was grand this year. More people spending more time and funds at local places.

My reply was, "Ummmmm, no, it's a cafe, where you get coffee, bagels and muffins, but if you're looking for a not-so-expensive place with the best damned sammiches, drive a few blocks up." They asked if you have wine and I couldn't remember. Do you?

They were tiptoeing gingerly around the ubiquitous mud with sour faces trying to keep their white socks clean. I think I saw that crew at the Fest Saturday.

The library which is open til 1am now. Jazz Fest must have just let out because all the fast food places had 12 people in line at the drive thru. I rarely eat 'fast-food' but I was just plain starving. But I know that fast food in New Orleans is a misnomer. It takes forever. I finally ended up at BK on Tulane and Carrollton which was off the radar of JFesters. It only had one person in line but I still had to make a HUGE loop back to the university b/c I couldn't turn left off Tulane. So it still took me forever. I'll be happy when August arrives and we have ourselves to ourselves. And the other night, Friday at 10pm I went out for "lunch". The library which is open til 1am now.
