Just an FYI - Jazz Fest is nothing but lines and lines and lines and lines of people. I don't think I've ever been around that many people - I'm going out on a limb and am going to say there was at least 100-120k people. But go at least once, pretty fucking sweet.....when not covered in people.
Awwwww, shit. Can't wait to hear about this mess. You're alive, I see?

yeah, I don't think I would like a festival like that.
New Orleans is great though. Hopefully you hit the GoldMine bar late night. Lots of talent usually there
Was in a lot of places, so I may have well been - tried to stay off Bourbon, though. I guess age is getting to me. The smell of hot garbage and BAM BAM BAM WHOOOAAA PARTY FUUUUCCKKK in my face non-stop was a little too much.
Best part of Jazz Fest was probably the feel of the neighborhood it was in, the food was legit at the concessions, and the Gospel Tent. Those Jesus freaks sure know how to get down. Biggest problem was the dumb lineup schedule - didn't get to see Nathaniel Rateliff or Van Morrison because I didn't feel like dealing with the herding from one end up of the fairgrounds to the other.
Someone posted a pic in the setlist thread, and goddamn that's a lot of people -
GoldMine is off bourbon. place is crazy after midnight.
New Orleans in general is a crazy place. Was there a few weeks ago for a work conference. During the conference they put out lemonade at lunch time. No one told anyone that it had vodka in it. By mid-afternoon people were loopy.
The food is amazing, but yeah, the smell is not. Was down there for an eagles game right after katrina -- the smell now is nothing like what is was back then.

Yes?
Glad you had fun. I love N'awlins and Louiana in general. Have gone at least 1x per year and many years 2-3 times since college as one of my best friends lives down there and has fishing camps for lots of good times.
Fixer -- GoldMine -- nice find! That is one of the spots my buddy would take us to get away from the tourists.
Good on Empty to try and find spots for us from Philly guys in the know. I think the level of unruly behavior is going to be high. (Toward each other, not toward the general public.) Adding Canadians to the mix just kicks it up a few notches. Wait 'till they get a load of Philly!

Right on. It's a good town to get rowdy in.

Yes, it is. I don't party in Philly too often -- or when I do I am old so I hit it large at dinner and go to one spot after most times....so this feedback is great. This crowd is not going to want to go to The Franklin/A.Bar/Twenty Manning or the places I go with my wife. (Those places would not have us.) A good divey sorta bar is needed.
Dude you can golf any time, come hang out -- or just golf very early in day on Thursday.
Golf will be early. My arrival time isn't changing
You playing Broad Run? I think we tee off at 10
Please let them be teeing off at 9:45, right in front on you!
Got the 10:12. I'm hitting into Juggy all day long
Dude that is hilarious. Just a little warning though, one of the guys I am playing with is a human rain delay. One of the slowest golfers you've ever seen. So you're probably gonna wanna play through after just a few holes. haha

Nice, all good spots you listed, but definitely not appropriate for the occasion.
Philadelphia residents - do you use public transportation? Any suggestions for getting around Philadelphia during the day?
Any knitters - favorite shop in Philadelphia?
You would think asking a sports thread for their favorite knitting shop would be unreliable, but think not! The Lady is a huge knitter. I know she used to be a fan of Loop between 19th & 20th on South Street. And some other place on South further down around 8th called Nangelini but I think they closed.
We now live down by East Passyunk, and there's a bunch of small stores between, like, Mifflin and Tasker on Passyunk that have that stuff as well.
I know too much about yarn.
I remembered this post. I'm so excited to look at knitting shops in Philly!

A human rain delay..Hahhaha. I can't fucking stand it. Unless you shoot under 85, hit the fucking ball.

Add about 40 to 85 and you'd be about accurate. He just stands over the ball for at least 30 seconds before starting his swing. Doesn't sound like much but it's like 6-8 times a hole for 18 holes. Not sure I've ever played a round under 5 hours with him. Brutal.....though he said he's gonna play best ball on the back 9 to speed things up on Friday.

And I'm pretty sure I ate half of the city.
