JAZZFEST WAS EPIC!!! Brodie's big introduction to da Funk...Big Sam at the Blue Nile, Bustle in Your Hedgerow playing an all Zepplin set at Tips French Quarter, Bonerama, Julian Marley, Soul Rebels, John Scofield, Buddy Guy and NEIL YOUNG rockin' it at the fairgrounds, Brother Joscephus & the Love Revival Revolution Orchestra outside the grounds and Dumpstafunk at Tips Uptown!!! Only regret: missing Poter, Batiste and Stoltz with Page...can't do it all!!

Post Fest brought in Rolly, Damien and Xavi and reconnecting with Mark and many others. Frenchman kept us ragin' with the Neville Nephews, Walter Wolfman Washington and lots more. Memorable Late nights at the Maple Leaf with Papa Grows Funk and not enough Rebirth. It also brought the first TobaccoPlusExpo outside of Vegas - Hell Ya!! A bit slower than usual due to this economic madness, but some great connections and on the Big Plus side: a city which supports the industry, and lots of after show fun NOLA style!!

On the topic of biz, some good chats with the boys and looks like we've got some fine new products on the way! To early to let the cat outta the bag, but be sure to check back soon for a whole lotta good Pure Hemp News! Hopin' to make it all go down in NOLA again next year (maybe even a week earlier to really kick it up) and hopin' to see y'all there...
