Welcome to the NOLA JAZZ FEST BISS 2013 Special Edition!!
 
I hate to use the word hate... But I HATE not being at Jazz Fest in NOLA this year... But as many of you know, we have lots going on here at BISS HQ right now. So I ask you all to please represent for me down there.  
 
I have gathered together a small selection of featured shows based on submissions we have received from friends, promoters, artists, & venues.  I wish I could include more but pretty much everything is amazing and we still need to get the regular BISS out this week.  I have also included the votes from the BISS Jazz Fest Pre-Party that took place last week at The Fish Bowl SF.  Thanks John, Christine, Analiese, & The BISS Crew for a fun night!!  Each person who voted, picked 1st, 2nd, & 3rd choice of their must sets at the Fairgrounds and another 1st, 2nd, & 3rd choice for the night shows.  I included every vote from everyone, since anything anyone might suggest as their top 3 of all of jazz fest sounds like something I would NOT want to miss!

As always, we have chances for you to *WIN TICKETS* while you are down there in NOLA!  Look to the left for the list of *SPECIAL OFFERS* and *WIN TICKETS*.  To *WIN*, share the show you wanna see on Facebook, Twitter, Email, Twitter, Word of Mouth and any where else you can think of to spread the word.  The winners will be chosen based on highest visibility and best content. (subject to BISS) For extra credit, tag the bands, the venues, the promoters, and BISS.  Yes, frequency counts.  
 
Have fun for me & don't do anything I wouldn't do... Yeah, yeah, that leaves a HUGE amount of trouble you can still be getting into.
 
********
See you all at the Shows!  (In spirit)
WHO DAT!!??
