I ju...

Cool. i noticed the old Oxford Town boxes are back out- would be really cool if there were Oxford Towns in them. That program does have a nice cover, thanks to the festival poster. Is your story about Matt in there?

Grace Potter and band in the Grove on campus tonight at Ole Miss and, afterwards, a few blocks a way on the town square, George Porter Jr. (Meters) and his band at Proud Larrys.

Very much so.
I'll be staying in Oxford for Double Decker rather than going to JazzFest.
I'll probably go Sunday. This sure does suck.
