    i so wanted to see Lu in New Orleans. It’s on my bucket list. The timing didn’t quite work. I did attend Saturday’s show and checked the stage where Lu will play. Not sure if this has been previously discussed but wanted to mention for anyone attending if you plan on seeing Lu and want to be up close, plan on arriving early. The stage she is playing is the main stage. it was absolutely jammed even early in the afternoon. There are two large screens on either side of the stage.

    Wish I could meet up with you, Sam. I leave tomorrow. Have had the best time tooling around the city. I just returned from a Lu recommend,per her NOLA list she put together last year, dinner at Muriel’s.

    Any other recommendations from the list you liked well enough to share??

    Thanks

    Search the forum (I used New Orleans as my key words) for the “Lu and her New Orleans history” thread from a year and a half ago. On page 4, TNT posted Lu’s notes about suggestions she had plus some personal memories of her time in NOLA. Great suggestions on her list. I’m currently on an iPad and don’t know how to copy and paste. 😳

    We went to the garden district yesterday via cable car. We were given a walking tour guide to the mansions from someone working the door at Commander’s Palace, an upscale restaurant. The night before we did the standard tourist thing and went on a guided ghost tour, capping off the night with a few hurricanes.

    As far as the festival, blankets and chairs are items allowed inside the grounds. Stay away from the rentals inside the grounds. $68 for a chair!

    Looking forward to your report(s)!
