If you could only do 3 things...

[sharon_loves_fats]

...during your time at Fest (other than attend Fest itself of course), what would they be?

Mine are:
1. see Dave Bartholomew at the Ponderosa Stomp
2. see Tab at Preservation Hall

Besides that I have a very long list and don't know what I'd put 3rd. Curious to hear what everyone's "musts" are...

[fessphan]

1.Funky Meters @ The Wolf
2. Anders @ Le Bon Temps
3. Dumpstaphunk @ Tips

I'm very thankful that I don't have to choose only 3 things.

[Phatpapa]

1.Insturments a comin@Tips

[Funkateer]

1. The Perrier Soul Lounge Tribute to James Brown's Funky People featuring Renard Pochet and Tony Hall @ the Maple Leaf late-night Thursday May 1 into Friday mo'nin'. Last year's Perrier Lounge show was the under-the-radar funk blast of the entire fest. I'm not sure how DJ Logic will fit into this band lineup, but I do know Renard Pochet is absolutely wicked on the axe, and he has a great chemistry with Tony Hall! Prepare to be funked up.

2. Shamarr and the Underdawgs at the Rusty Nail Saturday night. I haven't been there since it was the Mermaid Lounge and I am THRILLED that the place is back in business. There's nothing like finding your way there on the one-way streets. It's like a secret, even though it's not.

3. I'm with you about Tab, Big Chief and Sansone at Preservation Hall. That place is mystical, mythical, whatever-the-h*ll you wanna call it. I just picked up Sansone's last album and I can't wait to hear him blow that harp with Tab on Thursday May 1. This will be a special gig!

[Rossvegas]

1. Take the streetcar to Audobon Park
2. Coffee and beignets at Cafe du Monde
3. Make wild, crazy monkey love to Halle Berry in my condo... (again)

2. Galactic riverboat - fewer guests & sit-in's because of the venue, but spiritual grooveness

3. Instruments a-comin' - the heart & soul of the away from the fest scene (aside from the in-stores), and one of the few after-hours events that my wife not only enjoys, but insisted that I buy advance tix for!

[stlbarb]

some of the super gigs only happen during fest, but you can usually hear those bands separately other times, other places. and december is a great time to visit and hit all the restaurants.
i would do the things that only happen during that week - that arent too crowded or too late - that involve music, food & great people.
1) patry
2) Rosetree Fest II
3) Ingrid's Backyard Bash

[rosetree]

Besides that I have a very long list and don't know what I'd put 3rd. Curious to hear what everyone's "musts" are...

Mine are:
1. being able to see and spend time with my beloved family of friends that I usually only get to see during the last week of April and the first week of May (especially because I know I won't see them next year...sob...sob) in the city that we all love, so it makes it all the more magical and wonderful.
2. seeing Tab at RnB with Sue and Ann, and spending the entire night laughing our asses off at all the crazy things that always seem to happen when we do... and with any of our other friends who are there... oh what a night it always turns out to be... but just seeing Tab in NOLA is always just so great.
3. a few Red Snappers at Le Bon Ton and/or a Fried Oysters at Frankie and Johnny's

[mamaroux]

I was just looking for "visit Rosetree", but buying is good too!;)

ah geeze, Rosie... isn't that just a given? It's sort of like hugging when we all see each other, isn't it?
