New Orleans Jazz Fest 2006 Jazz Fest 2006 went off with out a hitch and was a blast for everyone who attended. I went four out of the six days, and we participated in a benefit and other events the week in between the festival weekends. We ate crawfish monica, crawfish bread, boiled crawfish, gumbo, soft-shelled crab po-boys, and too many other things to name them all. I saw great art - all of the artists I spoke with said that it was their best year ever, as people wanted to take a part of New Orleans home with them to tell the story that they came, they saw, they helped us to conquor.

Weather could not have been better. The few moments of rain, just helped to cool us off and the rest of the time the clouds did that job. The key is to be ready to step into either the Jazz or the Gospel tent in the event of rain, or just get wet. I hope that everyone who did not make it this year will put it on their calendars for next year. It was a very important event for the rebirth of the city and I think that it exceeded everyone's

I hooked Andrew up with Rob and Bob Haugen of Olympic Kilns so he could get "a hell of a deal".

The Kilns are beautiful and he is very happy...

It took a group of us and a few hours to move them

We had to go shower and meet my parents at Jacquisimos for some Aligator cheesecake, among other things. This New Orleans fav was as good as ever.

This is a part of the New Orleans culture that could have been lost forever after the big K. It was great to see them back in full color. Contact me for more pics and video footage of their performances at various impromptou events around town.

The Jazz Funeral is derived from ancient practices by the Dahomen and Yoruba People of West Africa who pooled their resources for proper burial as a form of insurance. Slaves brought this practice over...

This yearly benefit, held the monday inbetween the weekends, has become tradition for me. If you want to see New Orleans culture at its finest, come out for some food and fun and support our local schools and their music programs.

My friend Richie Kay's house. He stayed out the storm and flooding with a guns, a barbeque and two canoes. He made the front of the New York Times on his defiance of the Mayor's orders to evacuate.

It felt mainly like a ghost town here in the 9th ward. Nothing has been done here and the water is only drinkable, as of today (5/6/06). This was one of the poorest and hardest hit areas of New Orleans. And the last now, to have any help, if ever.

This holiday season I will be featuring an assortment of Candelabras and Judaic items. Many of my menorahs are already sold, but my designs are standardized and I can turn around an order in about 1-2 weeks, this time of year. Things can get busy quickly, though. So, place your orders now.

Sincerely,

Andrew Jackson Pollack
