Trombone Shorty is in town from May 1 - 4 for Jazzfest. It would be super awesome if he could just swing by long enough to sit in on Shit Shots Count.
And...I need one of the math wizards to check the old spreadsheet to see when the last time State Trooper was covered. Fingers crossed for NOLA to be the show where it re-appears in rotation.
I'll see y'all at Cafe' du Monde.
Consistently holding bullshit up to the light of reason
In for May 2nd, hoping I can make the 3rd but can't push it.. The Civic Theater is 1.6 miles from where we're staying in the Quarter.. Can't wait!
I just saw Benjamin Booker is opening these shows. I had to Google him to see what he's about, I really dug what I heard. Is anyone else here familiar with him?
As Lurleen and I have been discussing this trip, and waiting no so patiently, conversation has turned to food as it oh so rightly should but yesterday I remembered ice cream and the Creole Creamery

My wife and I have been to NOLA many, many times, in part because we've always found reasonable accommodations. Check around if you're going. We've stayed at the Hotel Monteloeone (great historic hotel where Hemingway also stayed) very reasonably, and we stayed at the Omni once for something like $60 or $70 per night.
So many good restaurants....the nice, expensive ones are excellent, but we've also had great food at some of the more "hole in the wall" types of places.
Like I said, I won't be there in body, but my heart, stomach, ears, and spirit will be!

Beaverdam, we love NOLA too and try get their often but not so reasonable this time around for us. We're staying in Metarie at a Holiday Inn that we've stayed at before for half the price but hey, it's Jazz Fest weekend so what the hell right? Rooms in the Quarter were $300 plus. Still it's fine and we're gonna have a blast! Jonesing for a Parkway surf & turf Poor Boy (yep, there they are poor boys as opposed to Po' Boys) with debris, maybe some barbecue shrimp or a trip to Felix's and whatever else we find. Cannot wait! Wish y'all could make it.
We call him Scooby Do, but Scooby doesn’t do. Scooby, is not involved
Do single day tickets sell out? I really want to do an afternoon but at this point I want to wait and see how mom is feeling, etc. She's turning 70 and I don't want to overload her with stuff. Also, does the Civic Theater have seats or a balcony? My fiancee is pregnant so I'd like to make this as comfortable as possible for her. Yep, I'm doing NOLA w a 70 yr old mom and a pregnant fiancee
We have locked in some solid food reservations: Antione's, Irene's and Sunday brunch at Commander's Palace
