Jazz Fest in New Orleans this weekend...just too many stories to share.

We danced in the rain, soaked to the bone, ditched the shoes and became one with the mud. It was the most free my spirit has felt in a while.

Dr. John livened the grey day with his upbeat sounds. And later in the wet evening, between all of his classic songs, Billy Joel busted out a version of "Singing in the Rain!" It was perfect, because that is exactly what all of us were doing.

By the time we left, we were all wading in water up to our waist. This led to the demise of several digital cameras and cell phones, but the memories created by our endless laughter will be forever remembered.

Some things to be taken away from this experience: Embrace the rain, new friends are easily made when you are sharing great music, pot will be present at every concert, and cell phones are not the most important thing in life!
