I will die on this hill.

Not going to speculate at this time, but I would like to know some basic facts: like how many shots were fired by agents and by suspect in what sequence and what/whom was targeted/hit

“Anything can happen” when you’re cleaning up in the bayou in Da Parish! We concluded #LoveTheBootWeek by volunteering with bayou clean up in Shell Beach, Hopedale, and Delacroix.

The new technology that is going to actually transform this century is being able to manufacture and deliver solid state batteries at scale. There are so many applications for this, all of which will replace fossil fuels at a scale not seen before and enable things we have not yet dreamed of.

Jon Batiste’s Swamp was quirky, thought-provoking, charming, and ultimately yet another example of joy and pure love for music. #nolasky #nolatwitter

The worst time of year in New Orleans is about to start. I just saw 2 flying termites 😖

I think when the history of the time is written, it will be shocking how outdated our tech is; and this will apply to war (ermm "defense) too.

I’m attending a coworker and new friend’s (🤗) birthday dinner tonight at Eviva and I’m so excited for it! Getting all dressed up, hair, makeup, heels! This was the carrot on a stick to get through the week.

My only Jazzfest was 2001. My friends wanted to see Dave Matthews Band. They were fine, but the highlight of The trip was Paul Simon making eye contact with me and tipping his cap. It may or may not have been because I weaved my way to the front and hollered like I’d seen Jesus.

The Bruce Springsteen set in 2006. I really liked The Seeger Sessions album and that show was it. I was with my friend Sandy and we met up with some of our other friends (she is still friends with these people). This child is now in college. I have vivid memories of singing “Jacob’s Ladder.”

Too many to describe, but there’s no elation like when I see a blimp in my favorite place in the world.

Also, front row for Tom Petty’s last Jazz Fest. It rained as he sang “Wildflowers,” my favorite song. It was ethereal. I cried on my bedroom floor à la Lilo when he died, playing the record on repeat.

Who is trying to take the neutral ground side of a light pole? Besides this truck, clearly.

Boyfriend put on such an incredible performance!!!

David Byrne was great. I am still not up to a ton of walking so I stuck to one stage and enjoyed everyone. People Museum, Boyfriend, St. Vincent, David Byrne. Lovely day with friends, and my kid even stopped by.

I officially have jury duty tomorrow. 🫠 Time to plan an outfit and pack a bag incase I get held for a bajillion* hours like last time. (*10 hours.)

I make $2.13 an hour today Yes I get gratuities, and that is my livelihood…but when push comes to shove my employer pays me $2.13. What would you do for Two Dollars And Thirteen Cents?

We brought in cases of beer, Raul bought turkey necks and crawfish on Broad. We also bought gallons of daiquiri. Brought it all in. We sang, danced, laughed and got lidded by the sun. 2000 or 2001?

The New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival delayed their start due to rain, but the sun came out along with the music. Rod Stewart, David Byrne and the Isley Brothers headlined the first Sunday.

Saw this random throw from Nyx 2019 in the house

VISCOUS VEHICULAR BLOOD IS SPILLED UPON THE EARTH, THE GREEN GODS OF THUNDER ARE SATED, AND THE GROUND IS NEUTRAL ONCE MORE. PERLEY THOMAS BE PRAISED.

I teared up watching Trombone Shorty and the Orleans Avenue setting up the first year they closed the main stage… I had seen them growing up at gigs with few people and that big step was amazing to me!

My first JF and randomly sitting down at Congo to rest and catching Robin Barnes for the first time. Can’t wait to see her next Sunday!

My very first one. The tickets were maybe 20 bucks at the gate. My best friend surprised me with tickets for my bday (which falls the first weekend). I wanted to see Dave Matthews band who bought out a surprise guests…Lenny Kravitz. I LOST it. Good times! 😁

I was right up front for one of his last JazzFest appearances. If not the last.

#OPINION The three judgeships slated to be cut from the courthouse at Tulane Avenue and Broad Street represent far more than three individual judges losing their positions. ✍ Judge Arthur Hunter Jr. Full Story 🔗: buff.ly/Er4kgFW

Relatedly, do you think there was a conversation in casting like, can we get a slightly younger and taller Timothy Olyphant?

Crew members were treated for injuries, but none of the passegers were harmed, Amtrak officials said.

Bruce Hornsby didn't play Mandolin Rain yesterday, but it was still an amazing show.

We stood in a not-too-terrible line at Hansen's this afternoon because B has been causally mentioning wanting a snoball all weekend. Their Difficult, Difficult, LemonB Difficult special hit the spot on a hot afternoon. Lemon, cucumber, lemongrass. 😋 B had nectar cream, per usual.

Been a lotta Jazz Fest bashing round these parts lately but how bout folks share their Jazz Fest Moment, when all was right with the world and you felt like you got a glimpse of another more perfect reality? C’mon, everybody has at least ONE.

Interesting history of the #WHCA. And, no, NO ONE wants a ballroom.

Running around back streets in old Bay St. Louis is one thing but cripes getting stuck behind 2 of these on Beach Road on a weekend day is Tew Much.

Raining by the Fairgrounds #jazzfest2026 #nolasky #closetoeshoes #raindelay

Look I get it, I too have a few lovely formal dresses that I hardly ever wear and I have few occasions where I can get all dolled up in finery, my hair did and all, but attending an event where the principals hate you & tried to abolish your professional association just doesn’t seem festive.

Jazz Fest guest from Las Vegas said he had this thing happen yesterday while at Fais Do Do watching Bruce Hornsby where everything felt perfect, so I explained to him what a Jazz Fest Moment is and how he’ll remember it forever.

NOLAReady: Jazz Fest: Due to weather conditions, the opening of today will be delayed. Gates are expected to open before noon. Updates: @JazzFest on socials

So now we are on a rain delay at the fairgrounds with gates being held until the weather/threat passes. Ugh.

Temperature just dropped 10+ degrees with wind gusts over 20mph. Something is coming.

Finally somebody who is not out here embarrassing us

The venerable New Orleans blues guitarist and singer performed at the very first New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, staged in what is now Armstrong Park in 1970. He’s played just about every Jazz Fest since.

Note that there's been no threat to sue over this statement. I know I would be suing for tens of millions if I was innocent.
