Not Going to Jazzfest

No, not me. You. It's okay. While you shouldn't need the reminder, WWOZ is broadcasting live from the fairgrounds starting today. Check their website for the schedule or just listen live over the internet.

Better yet, next weekend check out this site for live video feeds from the fest. (They're also broadcasting from Coachella this weekend.) Nightime? Hit up Tipitina's for their live web feeds, both video and audio only. Tonight is Zigaboo's Funk Revue starting around 10pm EST.

And maybe, just maybe, I'll be posting some goodness from the 2nd weekend. I'll have my gear, but what I'm able to pull (and the quality of such) is yet to be determined. Click here > (May 2), here > (May 3) and here > (May 4) to see what I'm targeting. Okay, now I'm just rubbing it in.
