for the first weekend in May. Yes, your Avg Horseplayer will be enjoying a nice little bachelor party the second weekend of Jazz Fest-Derby Weekend!!
I was thinking the other day- Is it going to be possible to be enjoying the sites and sounds of the some of the greatest jazz musicians and festival atmosphere one-minute, then just walk a few hundred yards inside the Fairgrounds (Clubhouse Level) and watch the greatest 2 minutes in sports?
Some friends of mine are nervous about the conditions of New Orleans and if heading down south is such a god idea at this point. I just keep telling them, we will see how Mardi Gras goes. That will be that city's first big test-welcoming thousands and thousands of revelers.
I for one, don't care. It makes me feel good to feel like I am helping to support the rebuilding of the community down there.
The last time I was down at Jazz Fest in 2004, I never did make it to the actual Fairgrounds. I am excited to experience that part of the celebration AND hopefully place a small wager and watch the Derby.

Heh, I was at Fest in '04 for the 2nd weekend. It was fabulous. The only down side was that you could not place a wager at the Fairgrounds during Fest. You had to go to an OTB, or use an online or telephone wagering service.
Was there the first weekend that year-supposedly a little less hectic. That won't be the case this year. Actually it is a b-party for my frined from The Bay. He writes for Jambase.
Of course when I was down there I found the Harrah's blackjack tables at some ridiculous hour of the day!!
Had no idea there would be a casino within walking distance of Burbon Street.
