conor & i went to new orleans over the weekend, for jazz fest... & had a great time! we saw elvis costello & the los lonely boys. we heard aaron neville sing gospel on sunday morning. the weekend closed with a rockin' performance by the neville brothers... and there were lots of other big names and great local bands.

who knew you could make such cool sounds with a washboard, a spoon, and an accordian?

the weather was (mostly) awesome, and the food was definitely awesome. i now understand why new orleans is the fattest city in the US.

do they know what a fresh vegetable is? i think not.

but man that seafood gumbo is good stuff!...
