The NOLA bloggers have been doing great work covering the first weekend 2008 Jazz & Heritage Festival. Chronicling the rising prices, the food, the rain, the influx of tourists Foreigners taking over and most of all the music, NOLA bloggers have written of their experiences for all to read. We therefore bestow the following Lucky Blog awards for excellence in all things Orleanian and Jazz-Festy, First Weekend of Jazz Fest Edition:
Best Overall: Wet Bank Guy at Toulouse Street’s Battling Fortuna at the Track, and his posts that follow.
Most Thorough Coverage: Minor Wisdom’s posts starting with Where I’ll be on Friday (maybe) and continuing for each day of the fest so far.
New Orleans Music’s Best Friend: Bonerama Freak Stacey’s Jazz Fest or Rain Fest?
Best Jazz Fest Newbie Post: Kiss My Gumbo’s My 1st Jazzfest.
Best Jazz Fest Post From Someone Who Didn’t Go; also, Best Atmospheric Post: Tim’s Nameless Blog’s The Sounds of New Orleans.
Best Rant on the Foreigners Taking Over: Mosquito Coast’s Jazz Fest Musings.
Good Solid Posts That Do Not Necessarily Fall Into Any Category: Prytania Water Line’s Jazzfest Story and Drive By Blogger’s advice to the Foreigners at New Orleans Jazz Festival 2008.

congrats to the winners, and thanks to Nola and Pete for pointing to the good blogs! I’m re-working my newsfeed, so I appreciate y’all doing my work for me.
VelveteenMind: that pic is a lucky dog wagon. in the spirit of Ignatius and his pyloric valve, I think it’s safe to swipe the image and make it an icon.

I was in Nawlins mid-March for the ASCD meetings down on the riverside.
I mistakenly left about $700 in the casino down there.
