I would love to see Anders Osborne, Bill Kreutzmann of the Grateful Dead, Paul Barrere & Fred Tackett of Little Feat, and Billy Iuso!!!
I’ll be in NOLA and would love to attend 4/27
7 Walkers is my favorite new band. Add Anders Osborne and Salmon, that’s one funky night in the Crescent City. (April 28, Howlin’ Wolf NOLA). Thanks!
My wife and I will be making our 15th Jazzfest this year. We didn’t get tix to the Sat Meters show, & have always wanted to see Anders so the 5/5 Anders/Tab/MGI show would be right up our alley!
Thanks for the chance.
My wife and I are honeymooning at Jazz Fest this year. It’s her first and I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve gone. Ander’s tune “Got Your Heart” was our wedding song. We’d love tickets to his new CD release party on 5/5. Awesometown for LIFE!!!
I gotta see Budos blow it up and melt!
This will be my first Jazz Fest, and trip to NOLA. My buddy and I get in Friday afternoon, and would love to kick things off Friday night (the 27th) at the inaugural event!
Would love to win tix to see 7 Walkers at the Republic on Friday May 4. Thanks!
I would love to attend the Anders CD release party w/ Mardi Gras indians and Tab kicking it live!
Would love to see Bill and 7 Walkers at Republic on 5/4. My son and I are going to our first Jazzfest.
Have winners been chosen for this contest?
Friday’s show was great! I hope someone wins tickets to an awesome show this weekend!!
Patpong Night Market is a one big reason for high demand of cheap tickets to Bangkok. As the sun sets down, the pavement along the north side of Silom bustles with tons of tourists and shines with neon lights. Since the market is adjoined with Saladaeng BTS Station on Silom Road, it is very easily accessible. Ready-to-wear garments, tapes and CDs, computer software, watches, household ornaments and souvenirs are among the products on sale. Sunday morning is the best time to visit the market and it is absolutely must for tourist to try hands at bargaining as most of the vendors charge hefty amounts for the goods. The market is replete with go-go bars and also offers great opportunity to delve in the raucous nightlife of Bangkok.
Renowned for its marvelous range of second-hand goods and a popular attraction of Chinatown, Klong Thom Market is a Saturday night market that operates till the morning hours. Klong Thom Market is a multiple story building and is located at the corner of Worachak Road and Chao Kamrop Road in Chinatown. From wonderful electronic devices to fascinating outfits, from DVDs and CDs to auto spare parts – the market makes for an apt destination for grabbing variety of products at dirt cheap prices.
