Ughhhhh... just as I figured, her dogs are going to be the reason she can't go. She's not from that town, so she doesn't really have family there either. I hate to push her to ask a friend, because that would mean her having to trust someone with her house key and she may not be comfortable with that.
Good grief, I am going to POUT. And I have to go to work now and be nice to a bunch of drunks singing bad karaoke!!!
Ughhhhhhhhh... did I say that already? lol
Awww, Lizzy. I'm sorry! :-( Isn't there still a glime of hope?
I haven't fully given up yet. I can't believe a 48 hour period could be that much trouble to have the dogs looked after during. (But, as I said, I've never had pets, so I'm not trying to downplay her love and devotion of her pets.)
On a better note, my friend who lives "one streetcar away from the fairgrounds" (her words) has said that we could stay with her, once she knows if her sister is coming the first weekend of jazzfest and not the second.
A lot of "IF's" at the moment. There simply has to be a solution. If nothing else, I could always make the NO trip alone... I'm not afraid to do that, but she's probably going to be disappointed if I don't stay and spend the weekend with her.... oh the guilt of it all!!!
:brickwall:
The JazzFest site put up the scheduling cubes for band stages and times:
The Eagles will be playing the Acura State from 5:00-7:00.
I don't recognize any of the bands before them, but I guess I will soon enough! Anybody else heard of them? They are: Mas Mamones, The Malone Brothers, Allen Toussaint (actually, this name does sound familiar to me; I just can't place it), and Irma Thomas.
I'm hoping there will be at least one or two changes.
It will be interesting to see what they play in South Africa and Dubai. If there isn't anything different there, it doesn't bode well.
Allen Toussaint has been a staple of the New Orleans music scene for decades. Irma Thomas is a soul singer. I don't know the others.
