| Happy Anniversary BISS Listers!! Actually, what I mean to say is Happy Anniversary to my husband Bo. You all know him as the guy who answers your tickets requests! I know him as the fabulous human being who rocks my world! Can't wait to celebrate 9 years of marriage and 15 years together when I get back home! #love So how's life there in the SF Bay? Welcome home to those of you who just spent time at NOLA Jazz Fest. I know it was nothing short of glorious from eating to music to every other minute of the day! I have been told that SF represented hard core down there the entire time! #welldone #liketherewasanydoubt There is a lot going on this week there at home but since there is #nosuchthingasfomo, I am not missing out, I am just somewhere else. And I can rest assured that you can all hold it down until I get back! Have you had enough of NOLA yet? #never!! Good! Because tonight, Thursday, May 7th, you've got two New Orleans bands in the city. Start with BIG SAM'S FUNKY NATION at The Chapel **WIN TICKETS**. Then end at the Boom Boom Room with FLOWTRIBE **WIN TICKETS**. Looking for something sweeter & more intimate? How about EMMYLOU HARRIS & RODNEY CROWELL at The Fillmore?
