I was in New Orleans for Jazz Fest, and the four days were packed with shows. I knew that on this trip I would be all over the place, bar to bar, bar to restaurant, restaurant to restaurant. The amount of eating and drinking would be difficult to keep track of. This made it the perfect subject for an ongoin twitter blog.
