JF is the complete experience. You have the day fest and the night shows. You have the culture and the culinary excellence. You have the most diversity of music you could wish for. You see the families, the old timers and the all night ragers having a great time together (or sometimes not overlap at all).

But: the trek from the Blue Nile to Tips is further than from the pool deck to the jam room. Some shows do get full, some shows do get expensive. That's what JC is for.

JC bands usually get two sets during the cruise so if you have to miss one while enjoying someone else, not a complete loss. Jazz Fest schedule is a bit overwhelming for the decision making process. I understand that it is very necessary to schedule so many amazing acts at practically the same time so that EVERYONE doesn't rush one single stage for one super fantastical act, but this is vacation for me. I want my brain in neutral, so I am going with a bunch of people that will just drag me along to wherever they choose. And I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!

That's the thing. I usually pick the day(s) I go to the Fair Grounds based on 1 or 2 bands I really want to see, but I enjoy just wandering about and discovering new music along the way. I am much more meticulous planning my night shows than my days at the Fest.

If anyone needs a free ride to Jazz Fest from St Louis, I am driving solo on 5/2 (Wed) and returning on 5/7 (Mon). It's a convertible Mini Cooper, so not much luggage room, however, front seat is comfortable and you can hook up your iPod and choose your tunes. I am not looking forward to road tripping solo, but getting to Jazz Fest for my first time will be worth it. Meeting up with tons of friends when I get there will also make the drive not so bad.

I have been going to this site to get info on the afterhours shows in NO during Jazzfest.

Back on the boat in 2013!!!
