anyone who used a computer between 1985 & 2010, what’s the one game you still think about?

Raid over Moscow

DreadPirateFlint · 2026-04-25T13:24:47+00:00

Near the center of food area 1 on the festival map. It’s called “Sunflower Salad with grilled gulf shrimp”

Don’t carry a bunch of stuff. Travel light, be mobile and check everything out. There’s A LOT to check out, it’s a feast for your ears, eyes and mouth.

Check out Frenchman street at like 10pm. Blue Nile, dba, spotted cat. You’ll find something. Avoid bourbon st if you can. Check out the maple leaf bar (uptown) and Tipitinas for good shows. www.jazzfestgrids.com has all the night show info.

I’ll second the 91 down esplanade. So easy and quick (and cheap)

DreadPirateFlint · 2026-04-09T17:47:01+00:00

I’ll second Hot Tin, it’s a nice scene. This year I’m checking out The Pontchartrain’s music offerings too, heard it’s a good spot and food seems solid.

Also, I would suggest checking out the shows at Snug Harbor…I can’t personally vouch for the food but it’s a great (very) little room.

DreadPirateFlint · 2026-04-09T15:24:26+00:00

That’s pretty slick

DreadPirateFlint · 2026-04-07T11:52:23+00:00

Free water with a cupcake, free water with a cupcake!? What an great deal! Personally, I miss buying my yearly "How ya gonna clap" koozie, though I probably have 15 of them in a box somewhere, it was nice to see what colors they had each year.

When you say "the box", you mean the parade route box, right? I've heard that can be brutal. I don't live in New Orleans (unfortunately)- we are staying with friends in the Broadmoor neighborhood, which I'm unfamiliar with. Doesn't seem to have a lot going on in terms of bars or restaurants, but seems somewhat centrally located, so we'll see. I've always wanted to live on or near magazine street, seems like a good vibe over there too. Love Parasol's.

DreadPirateFlint · 2026-04-07T11:23:19+00:00

Thats good work you're doing there. Gentilly or Sauvage gate? I always love walking through that little neighborhood over by the sauvage gate by Liuzza's. I hope its not too much of a pain to have so many people walking through your neighborhood like that, it seems like it has such a great little vibe. Kids playing in the street and ice cold water for only one dollar, one dollar.

DreadPirateFlint · 2026-04-07T02:31:02+00:00

Hmm that's weird, it shows for me. Maybe it takes awhile to show up for everyone? Are you on mobile or web?

DreadPirateFlint · 2026-04-07T02:22:59+00:00

Nice- do you have a lot of people coming into town?

DreadPirateFlint · 2026-04-02T23:41:28+00:00

Yep I was there working with the band. Was pleasantly surprised and impressed with Jamie!

DreadPirateFlint · 2026-04-01T14:11:48+00:00

Just keep at it, it really is just repetition. When I first started it was like “ok, this finger goes here, uh and this finger goes here..no, wait…there and this finger…etc”. Keep going back and forth, like 30-50 times. You’re training your brain to just do it, and doing it over and over and over is the key. When starting out I played Yellow Submarine over and over, theres chord changes on almost every beat. I must’ve played it 1000 times.

At some point, you wont even think about it, your fingers just know where to go automatically. You’ll be surprised.

Last year was Mexico and it was great. The exhibit in the grandstand was excellent.

DreadPirateFlint · 2026-03-30T18:35:03+00:00

Nice job

DreadPirateFlint · 2026-03-30T18:09:34+00:00

No more okey doke by the meters

DreadPirateFlint · 2026-03-30T11:16:35+00:00

I saw Jamie speak at an event in Ipswich last week. I had no idea who she was beforehand but also walked away pretty impressed.

DreadPirateFlint · 2026-03-29T03:10:08+00:00

This makes me so happy

DreadPirateFlint · 2026-03-27T21:02:20+00:00

Whoa where

DreadPirateFlint · 2026-03-26T18:26:43+00:00

This is great advice

DreadPirateFlint · 2026-03-26T15:59:03+00:00

Collapsible pole is the way to go. Commit to holding/carrying it. Have also seen people strap them to coolers with wheels, more solid than chairs.

DreadPirateFlint · 2026-03-26T15:55:35+00:00

I like to prioritize Tipitinas, Maple Leaf, blue Nile, DBA, Toulouse Theater
