Comments on: And the Winners Are… http://www.mybigeasylife.com/archives/2008/05/02/and-the-winners-are/ A Festival of NOLA Knowledge Obscure.

I do enjoy going to and writing about the Jazz Fest; I'm still a bit surprised that people enjoy reading what I write. Anyway, I hope that people who have never attended get a realistic sense of what it's like, understand that it's like nothing else on earth, and make up their minds to plan their vacations for Jazz Fest. I noticed (again) that there are a lot more out-of-town visitors at Jazz Fest than there are locals. The absence of locals is not good, but the presence of visitors is something we need. And these particular visitors have better taste and discernment than most. (You know, one day of Jazz Fest probably brings more money into New Orleans than 8 Saints home games. Not to denigrate the Saints -- I'm just saying ....) Thanks very much for the recognition.
