Pass a good time
Yesterday, we went to one of the major festivals here in Louisiana, Festival International. It's one of the biggest festivals and features musicians from around the world. It was the first time we had gone together. After the boy woke up from his afternoon nap, we gathered our stuff and drove down there. Parking was tough but we found a spot in a ditch. We saw three bands. The Quebe Sisters Band are from Texas and they have an old-fashioned sound that I like, sort of like the Andrews Sisters. Bub had to be at the front so he ran up there and we danced some. Then we saw Dengue Fever, a band from Cambodia, which had a surfer rock sound. And the last band, which we caught the tail end of was The Amazing Nuns, from Lafayette, LA, who were a little Blues Brothers. We got to play in the foundation and eat some great food. We passed a good time, cher.

Sounds like a great time! Did you let the boy have some cotton candy? A fair is not a fair without cotton candy and kettle corn.
ReplyDeleteThere was a local agriculture fair in our town... not nearly as exciting.
On top of that, they were advertising pig races. With the Swine Flu going around, doesn't that seem less-than-wise?
*I know nothing about the actual swine flu, but being around pigs seems unwise*
It's not actually a fair. There are no rides or cotton candy (that I saw).
ReplyDeleteIt's like Jazz Fest but on a smaller scale and cleaner. There are 5 stages and they have all kinds of music playing.
We did have a funnel cake though
