French Quarter Fest 2014

Lithus was in town for French Quarter Fest this year (he wasn't for last year), so I dragged him into the crowds. Now, he isn't any bigger a fan of tourist crowds than I, so we simply did a loop, took pictures, people watched, and stayed in our own little bubble. Makes for a great weekend.


We started Thursday evening, as did FQF, at one of our neighborhood live music/good food/great atmosphere places ~ the Little Gem Saloon ~ and the musical stylings of Sarah Gromko. I highly recommend this evening, regardless of the addition of FQF.

Friday, there were treats at our neighborhood smackerel shop:

Then, Saturday, we braved the crowds and actually made it across Canal, into the Quarter...

Somehow, I managed to get randomly mustard-ed by someone and something, which I admit, required an alcohol wipe once we got home.

All in all, it was a good weekend.
