At Jazz Fest Friday I found out my Brass Pass has less value than before. It turns out this year, Brass Pass & Over Pass holders can't bring guests into the hospitality area! (children are the only exception). If they mentioned this when the passes went on sale , then I missed it! I heard they were getting quite a few complaints. Lots of couples I know buy one pass, since the spouse can't go every day due to work or other reasons, but they could at least both enjoy the hospitality area together! I don't know how others feel, but personally I'd rather do without the free CD that comes with the brass pass in exchange for the hospitality guest privilege!

i think allowing guests would be unfair to all us....and seriously, the brass pass was only a 100 dollar donation if your down the whole time.

I'm with you, MD. Bunch of pikers....al of 'em.
In all seriousness, I bought my Brass Pass because it was just $25 more than the face value of the tickets I normally buy and I wanted support wwoz. Sitting in the tent yesterday, eating fresh fruit under the misting machines, taking a load of my feet....it was worth every dime and more. I honestly can't believe I never purchased one before!

Well, ol' Lester is happy with his BP. I can do email from the WWOZ tent! I can check the TH board. I can get a free neck and shoulder massage (please don't ask), and I can eat watermelon.

Still raining Lester?
Glad you're having fun.
Thanks for thinking of us enough while at the fest
to take the time and drop a line.
Have fun!

Um, can you please elaborate on the free neck and shoulder massage? Also, another stupid question . . . why on earth would you be checking the bored when there's Threadheads all around you live and in living color??? :p

Mmmmm..I'd love a massage to go with that tequilla, Rosie.
Phat you too? Phat, prefer to call you Breck (enridge),
isnt there a hottub outside nearby that you can soak
in while surrounded by the snow? THAT sounds real good now.
Sorry you all got wet today. I pray next weekend we wont get the same as
predicted. You cant change the weather but you can change the
attitude...make it a happy one.

Monica, Darlin' . . . I ain't elaborating on my free (and impromptu) massage without the consent of the wonderful woman who provided it. And, maybe not even then.
And, I'm checking the bored when there's Threadheads all around me live, 'cause I'm greedy. I want all the ThreadHead love that I can get.
So, when do I get my hug from you?

I've gotten exactly what I hoped for with my BP!!!! They never told us we could bring guests. And low and behold they are allowing us to use all entrances!!!! And I don't think that was because some were bitchin about it. I think it happened because it's just a New Orleans thing.
Enjoying stuff has nothing to do with what's happening on the outside, it has everything to do with what's happening on the inside...
