You know you're in a different place from Maine when the sign on the Men's Room door in the Denver Airport says "Tornado Shelter".
There is a lof ot flat between the airport and the Rockies.
Arrived at the room, crashed as much as I could. Thought I was getting over the cold, I was wrong.
Decided to attempt going to the Friends of New Orleans reception at the Convention Center. What to my wondering ears should appear but, not only the Big Chief Crewe from New Orleans, but the Friends of the Wetlands All-Stars, featuring Tab Benoit, and other stalwarts of the NEw Orleans music Scene.. A little gumbo, a little Tab Benoit, and I was restored, dancing in front of the stage, glorying in the music, Special guests like Marcia Ball and Irma Thomas added to the festivities.
Then Randy Newman comes out with one of the Marsalis brothers and does a song...marvelous. Then Howard Dean comes out to speak.
More later, I am almost comatose.
