Jazz Fest '08 Part 1

It's been a long time since I posted. Don't worry - I survived New Orleans. Why is it so hard to go away, even for a few days, without creating a backlog of work and life? On the plus side, it seems to still be winter here in DC so at least I haven't been missing much while working late this week.

The weekend was a lot of fun, as always. Those moments where you find yourself hanging out at a bar with a pirate at 3 AM who's telling you about his failed marriage and how much his therapist has helped him are really what make New Orleans so special. Did I mention he was a pirate?

Anyway. I still have a lot of pictures to go through but I put some up on flickr today. Here are a few that I like, in no particular order. I'll tell stories here when I have a bit more time, so for now, enjoy these images from the swamp. You can see all my pics (so far) in my Jazz Fest '08 set.
