Grcxx3,

I went to high school in Natchitoches so Natchitoches meat pies hold a special place in my heart... If you're ever in Natchitoches, go to Lasyone's (sp). Best meat pies in the world.

Katie,

By the way, Natchitoches is pronounced "Nakatish" - just so you know when ordering...

Thanks for the tips bkluvsNola and Callaloo---I will definitely print out the lineup. I hadn't thought about getting to and from the fairground so thanks for mentioning that. I admit that we have planned very little for this trip--kind of exciting though.

I'm betting that even if we do make it in to one of NO's top restaurants (probably at 10:30), the food highlight will probably come in the form of a po'boy..Looking forward to sampling a Natchitoches too...and I'll pride myself on saying it correctly. Is that "nak-a-tish"?

oh Katie - have a meat pie for me, please??? I can't count on DH to do it!!

bkluvsNola

Katie,

Perfect! Just like a local Some others also say "nak-a-dish" and that is well understood as well...

Grcxx3

ok - but how do you say it after you have been drinking beer all day????

Ok Katie, we're eagerly waiting for your trip report

Hey Katie! How was your trip!

DH got back today (after going to a concert at the House of Blues last night). He had a blast!

But.......he didn't eat a meat pie for me.

I hope Katie had a great time... looking forward to hearing her report.

I was there the first Saturday and the second Friday and Saturday. It was a blast! The crowds on Saturday were unbelievable. The weather had a lot to do with it, I'm sure, but the Acura stage was packed by 1:00pm in anticipation of Bon Jovi. I hadn't seen that many people at Jazz Fest in a few years. Of course it rained the past 2 years.

I'm back! Will post a detailed report once I'm all caught up here. We flew in Thursday and went to Jazz Fest Fri.-Sat.-Sun. Had a great time!
