Eagles in New Orleans, Louisiana at Jazz Fest May 2012

My little sister's not coming after all - it'll be just me and my friend Kristin. We'll be camping out alright...as much as you can without a blanket or chairs. Hello, my little patch of grass. We won't be at the front thanks to that VIP section, but we'll be as close as we can get.

Oh, your little sister won't get to see you in "attention-whore fangirl mode" Soda...

... then again, maybe that's just as well.

She actually WANTS to see it. Morbid curiosity I guess!

I can understand that.

This cracked me up!!!

I just heard today that the radio station I listen to way up here in New England is having a contest to win tickets and accommodations to the New Orleans Jazz Fest.

I briefly considered trying for it, but changed my mind. My nearly-high-school graduate daughter is annoyed enough that I'm running off to see Glenn during her pre-graduation weeks. Another Eagles trip would send her over the edge!

[sodascouts]

Strange that they'd have a contest so far away! Too bad you can't make it.

Ok, so this is ALL very tentative and in case you haven't caught on yet, I tend to get WAY excited in anticipation of things even if nothing is solidly planned yet. But anyhoo, I REALLY want to go to the Jazz Fest. I wish I had known about it before I bought my ATL ticket. My friend in ATL who decided too late to join me at the concert, has only the option to hope to get one outside the night of show. So.. that in mind, I had a brainstorm. Maybe, she and I can drive to NO after the Eagles show on the 4th. Drive all night and spend all day Saturday at the festival, including catching the Eagles show that day. I have a friend in NO (an online friend from a word game that I play, we've known each other 12 yrs online now) and I've alerted her, so if all goes as hoped, maybe can spend the night with her (because I imagine it's going to be hard to get any kind of room but i'm not above sleeping in the car if that doesn't pan out. lol). That way, I get to go to the festival and the Eagles concert, spend time doing something fun with my friend Kathie, all at the same time!

It's quite possible that I am just dreaming and dreaming too big. But, hey, what is life without something to strive for? I would make the NO trip by myself, except for the fact that I owe Kathie the 'girls weekend', so I couldn't ditch her on Sat/Sun if she didn't want to do that. She has dogs so it would entail her finding someone to go over a couple of times. So much to sort out!! I'm just going to cross my fingers and hope for the best.

Oh, I so hope everything works out so you can go, Lizzy!

Thanks GL!! I've practically convinced myself that this just isn't a problem to accomplish and in my mind, there's no valid reason why we can't do it! The only obstacle that I can foresee is sleep and that's so overrated!
