Yeah, St. Patrick's is pretty crazy, what with all the flying cabbages and all. Mardi Gras-- ten times more so, plus the entire city shuts down, people are even more drunk, etc. It's a worthwhile experience, but a lot of people I know prefer Jazz Fest. Both are events I think everyone should experience at least once.
The Jazz Funeral for Democracy was basically a protest of the inauguration. I missed it, because I had a ton of work to do, but I heard it was pretty good and had really high turnout. Howard Zinn spoke, and say what you will about him, the man is a good writer and thoroughly committed to progressive causes. A little dogmatic, but I like him and I'm sad to have missed him.
Another dark day
yeah, yeah, I get it...
