I hope everyone is getting as excited as me about jazz fest. Just a little info for everyone, so that people can know when to print out their grids. The last day I will take any submissions from bands, artists or promoters or make any changes will be on 4/21. So please make sure you get us the information as soon as you can.

I can't believe it's less than a month to the start of Jazz Fest, I can almost taste the crawfish monica and the cochon de lait po boy! The Cubes have been posted on www.nojazzfest.com and Bart and I have posted 1326 gigs on the Grids so far with three weeks left to go. In comparison, last year we posted approximately 1500 gigs. There is such an uneblievable amount of musical talent to choose from this year playing a wide array of venues. I am personally looking forward to seeing the Saenger re-opened for Fest. If there are any other shows that some how we missed, send us an email and we'll add them. The LMF free concerts are released and posted approximately a week before Fest.
