Well, it has been a LONG day adding the last of the shows and making corrections to the listings. This year, you will notice that there are a few changes such as in-store shows now show on the grids due to end=user demand. We'll see how that works out, and may change it back again next year !

If there are mistakes and omissions, my apologies for those who emailed me and provided the correct information. We've edited and tried to be as accurate as possible - but we are human, after all :)

A few tricks are available for y'all starting tomorrow. If you type in http://www.jazzfestgrids.com/first_weekend/frenchmen you'll get a listing of everything on frenchmen street that we have (it works for all of the pages /second_weekend/frenchmen etc) :) It's a beta thing and we might expand that next year to include other neighborhoods - we might not... lol.

If you want to see everything in one fell swoop - you can type in http://www.jazzfestgrids.com/enchilada (I hope some of you appreciate that choice of url :)).

Feedback is welcome - hope to see you all at the many events around the city this week and next. I especially hope to see everyone around town at Threadhead Thursday - a FREE concert in City Park on 4/28 from 6pm - 'till featuring Threadhead Records artists! Bring your chairs and blankets - there will be concessions available.

Happy JazzFest Everyone !!!

Many of you will be flying into town in a little less than a week now to enjoy some of the finest that NOLA has to offer !! Honestly, we can't wait to see ya and can't wait for you to have FUN !

The last day for artists/management/bands/venues etc to submit changes to the grids is Monday, April 25, 2011 at 8pm Central Time. This is so that the grid users will have time to print out their grids, make copies, changes, highlight them and buy tickets to all of these great shows before they leave from places far and away, or for those of us who live here- before the week gets away from us :)

Yes, there will be changes after that date - but at some point we've gotta call it....

This weekend you will also notice that venues that have not provided information or will not have shows will be removed from the grids to make it a lot easier to read !

For those of you who only want to print out what is happening at a specific venue, for now you can click on the venue name and be brought to a page that lists the shows for that venue which you can print. Rest assured, next year we're hoping to make improvements to the site and have more printing, customizing etc options available.

In the interim - happy planning, packing, travels, and best of all - HAPPY FESTING !!!

I know I'm forgetting something - but whatever it is, I'll include it in the next updates :)
