We have a week's timeshare that we have to exchange before the end of the year. There's no availability for VooDoo, but there is for this one.
Has anybody been to it? It likes like a nice small fest to attend with some good talent.

It's not that small...
I haven't been, but they have 5 stages with some medium named acts (MNAs).

I have attended and had a very enjoyable time. It had both good local acts, Rosie, Sonny, Theresa, Amanda etc and national artists a bit on the down side of their carrers Johnny Winter, Dave Mason, Eddie Money etc. That being said they were all good and the German village was a fun place to hang out at with the seniors and all the good food.

I was actually supposed to go the year of the Federal Flood. I had a conference in NOLA at the same time, and Joe and I were going to go down and hit the Gretna fest with the Rooneys. But the conference was cancelled.

Is there still a Vortex in Midtown, or are you going to be at the L5P one?
It's been ages since I've eaten there. That might be a fun!
