See ya at 10am in lobby of Royal on Fri

[Terry]

....Sat and Sun...to share cab to Fest. The cab is the way to go. With 2 or more, costs same or less than $5 City Bus fare to Fest. See Swag's editorial comment on this subject at www.swag.com, including tips re return trip.

[mightyradgumbo]

May be down with that on Sat and Sun with PB but we are doing the beer tent on 1st Friday so we have to be there for a 10AM shift

[bluedog]

Well, it's 3 or more. And the website is www.swagland.com.

And I've been to enough Jazzfests and stayed out late at night enough times to know, the best laid plans to be ready to roll at 10 am often seem to crumble in the face of 5 hours sleep and a snooze alarm. But whatever time you are ready to go, look for friendly festers to cab-share with.

True dat, Swag...but what is this 5 hours of sleep you speak of?

[Festnfreida]

Sounds like a plan to me Terry. In fact, if you want to share some cabs prior to that, I'll be there sometime Weds afternoon. Thinking I might hit Dagos if I can get there before they stop serving lunch at 4. Oh....and I know that's Not a cabride. :)

Hey, swag.com looks kinda fun, too! ;)

[VWGal]

Hey Terry, I'm at the HIFQ too -- quite likely I'll be there by 10 am. Only thing is I'll be going to Liuzza's except for the first Friday when I'm going to the main gates to pick up my Brass Pass.

And THEN walk over to Liuzza's! ;)

Years ago, when I first looked into it...
swag.com sold snowboard equipment.
swag.org was the Southwest Assembly of God.
And swag.net sold the nastiest looking gay sadomasochistic scatological porn tapes you could imagine.

I used to wonder if the Assembly of God faithful ever typed in .net by mistake :o

True dat, Swag...but what is this 5 hours of sleep you speak of?
roflmao....I thought the same thing Gumbo!! If I got 5 hours of sleep in New Orleans I'd be in friggin heaven lol!

[Belle]

We will head to the lobby on Saturday to see if we can spilt costs with someone. Friday we go to fest freom the Airport and Sunday is heavy lifting shift with Lena. Sounds like fun.

[Chas_P]

Jane and I will be there as well, except for the first Sunday when we'll take in a brunch at Elizabeth's.

Honestly, I don't do a whole lot of late night shows. During Fest, I'm usually off Frenchmen St around 3 or 3:30, sacked out around 4am, and sleep till 10. That's a solid 6.

I believe that the WWOZ will call for Brass Passes is at the Sauvage Street Entrance. This is an excerpt from an e-mail I received from WWOZ about picking up the passes:

April 25, 26, 27 & May 1, 2, 3, 4 from 11 AM - 6 PM

hey, we were thinking the same thing, Sunday brunch at Elizabeth's and then to fest... we're at the HIFQ, maybe we can share a cab to both?

[Staxsun]

I'll be around first weekend, and I'll have a car. I'd like to head out a little earlier than that, since I have no clue where I'm going to park. As nice as the Cabrini folks are, I just can't bring myself to pay $30 to park my car for 8 hours. I may follow my own suggestion and drop folks off near Liuzza's and ride the shuttle. The only problem is then I'll miss out on the pre-fest gathering. I might miss one morning to eat at Elizabeth's on the weekend, but we'll see.

I don't see why not. We were first going to do Mr B's, but that doesn't start until 11:00. Send an email to Chas35 at GSINET dot NET, so we can firm up the arrangements.

On the other hand, will you be around the second weekend as well? The reason is that Jane would still like to hit Mr. B's brunch as well and the first Sunday works better for a late brunch for us.

I know what your sayin Corona. I never get 5 hours sleep in New Orleans at Jazz Fest, always see the sunrise. I usually take a nap at Jazz Fest somewhere, then I feel great.

Actually that is what I get-5 hours...for the 10 days I am down there

Stax, i'll bet if you load the car w/THs, they will help you pay parking. :)

I'm not trying to upstage the taxis or get any money. I just think it's silly to drive to the Fest from the Holiday Inn by myself while passing a bunch of our crowd standing in the lobby.

Several years ago, before Elizabeth's changed hands, they were not open on Sunday (and I think, Monday). Might want to give them a call about any Sunday plans.

We won't be there for anything other than Thursday for the second weekend... but don't let that stop ya! If Mr. B's is best for you the first weekend, then do it, Chas! Everyone is flexible for fest!

I was thinking the same thing that was all ready said... you drive, they will pitch in... heck that's only fair! After all, what would a taxi cost? If Chas is going to Mr. B's and you want to go to Elizabeth's... let me know! They were open on Sunday when we were there in December.

5 hours rest for ten days

I hear ya! I work 7 days and then am home 7 days. I often tell people I have to go to work to rest. They think I am kidding but I have seen weeks at home where for one reason or another I got like an average of 2 hours sleep a day. And that is just a "nothing much going on week"

[Festnfreida]

I'm sure the website is more correct. I was just remembering my disappointment that Sunday morning. But all my information is old......just like me. :)

[BigDag]

I'll be driving from the HIFQ as well. Happy to take as many peeps as I can squeeze in.

Now I hope we wont be stepping over bodies of threadheads trying to get out the front door to get to the fest....

If you can get up early enough, you can ride shotgun.

That might be a plan. Let's keep in touch about it.

We're going to opt for Mr. B's that first Sunday because of their not opening until 11:00. I think we'll head to Elizabeth's that first Saturday. I keep forgeting they have brunch on Saturdays.

If I end up with the first part of Neen's shift, I'm out. Otherwise, I'm probably in.

drop me an e... mama roux at com cast dot net (no spaces at all) I'm so wanting to go to Elizabeth's!
