Miscellaneous

A day at Jazz Fest rarely goes as planned. As Chris Rose wrote a few days ago, the most carefully thought out plans always yield to serendipity. So with that disclaimer, here?s my plan for First Friday:

• 11:20: Susan Cowsill
• 12:30: J. Monque?D Blues Band
• 1:35: The Zydepunks (never heard of them, but love the name)
• 3:35: Anders Osborne
• 4:20: Bilocate between the last 20 minutes of Anders Osborne and the first 20 minutes of Tab Benoit.
• 5:50: Buckwheat Zydeco

Between the Zydepunks and Anders Osborne, there should be time to eat. For years the best food bargain at the Jazz Fest has been the cochon de lait po boy, written up today in the Times Picayune. Delicious. And filling ? eat one and you won?t be hungry the rest of the day.
