Reply #5: They're playing New Orleans Jazz Fest this weekend

If you go, though, you'll have to choose between them and my buddy's booksigning (he is an occasional DUer who got me into the NOLA blogosphere in the first place):

And as I contemplated Jazz Fest next week (while I'll be signing my book I’ll be missing out of Bon Jovi. Oh dear), I thought: this stage on the batture of the river where this city began, these acts on this stage; this is what the intersection of European and African music a century ago has done for the world.

This is our heritage.

Thank you French Quarter Fest and the artist sponsors for not forgetting why we live here, and why the visitors come. It is not for Bon Jovi.

:P
