No hurricanes in the forecast for the weekend; except those you may choose to imbibe. If I don't get to New Orleans every couple of months, I start having withdrawal symptoms.

3. My favorite time in New Orleans is for the Jazz and Heritage festival. |

I just live up the river road in Minneapolis, but I haven't had the opportunity to visit for quite some time. Ooooh- I could go for an oyster Po-boy right about now. :-)

mark your calendar - 21-23 April 2006, THE FRENCH QUARTER FESTIVAL. Its a Jazz Fest for the locals, its free and its all in the French Quarter; music venues up and down Bourbon and Royal Streets. Jackson Square is crammed with food vendors and the food is too incredibly good to describe. It usually occurs the week before the first jazzfest weekend and its a fantastic time. My favorite is a blackened shrimp po-boy dressed from the Alpine Restaurant on Chartres, with juices dripping on the onion and lettuce and tomato. Oh My! After the next Minnesota winter you'll deserve a trip to the other end of the Mississippi.
