Jazz Fest 2009 - Weekend 2

I headed back to Jazz Fest this past weekend for another healthy dose of music. And, again, New Orleans did not disappoint. From Kings of Leon to Cowboy Mouth to Alan Toussaint to Neil Young to Trombone Shorty with Dirty Dozen and Rebirth to Robert Randolf and the Family Band to Michael Franti Trio, I came away with about the same feeling I always have when leaving Jazz Fest...that I caught a little bit of everything.

My appetite was also quite satisfied after devouring a crawfish monica, a crawfish po' boy, a vegetarian platter, a crawfish sausage sandwich, and some crawfish bread (over the course of the three days). I must say that it's a bit of a toss up between which is better: the food or the music.

One notable first this fest was being a flag holder. It lasted for about 5 minutes before we relegated the flag to the nearest post, and negotiated the shared use of some bungee chords. I now have a tremendous amount of respect for the people that carry their flag every day.

Once again, much love to the city of New Orleans.
