***

And let me see, what else? Ah, yes...

7 bottles of Patron & Don Julio (between the two of us)
3 Hurricanes
8 Jello Shots
3 Frozen Irish Coffees
Innumerable Margheritas
Zero hangovers!

Crawfish bread, Crawfish Monica, Crawfish pasta, Muffaletta, Gumbo with pheasant, quail and Andouille sausage, red beans and rice... alas, I didn't make it back for Fried Frogslegs...

***

Wow, this is quite a list, but it doesn't even come close to conveying the wonder and joy that is Jazzfest - the syncronicity, the running gags, the hours and hours and hours of dancing: in the roaring sun, in record shops, and at the bars. Dancing and dancing and dancing for days. So many new friends. So many perfect moments.

Ten days.

It had to end some time, but I'm already counting down until next year...
