Jazzfest 2009

My friend, Natalie Pavela, and I drove down to New Orleans last weekend for the Jazz & Heritage Festival. We had a great time! We arrived a little after midnight Wednesday night—which is probably a great time to hit up Bourbon Street, but we went straight to bed. On Thursday, we went to a cooking class at the New Orleans School of Cooking with Chef Michael and took an evening tour of the French Quarter’s “haunted” houses. Jazzfest was Friday through Sunday. There were a lot of amazing acts… Dave Matthews Band, Wilco, Joe Cocker, Better Than Ezra, Spoon, the Rebirth Brass Band, Marc Broussard, and many more. And did I mention the food? Wonderful! Saturday night, we had dinner at Le Crêpe Nanou, a great little French restaurant in Uptown New Orleans. The drive back to Waco was a little tedious (8 hours starting after DMB ended around 7 pm), but it was well worth it!
