Fresno Mardi Gras

So it is that time where I update you on my memories of the jazz festival and I know it has been three weeks, but I have been busy with 18 units. Anyways, James and I went to the Radisson after his 2 o' clock class and we had some lunch and met Mary which was fun. After lunch and hanging out with Mary we went and saw Blue Street play and we ended up being the cd salesmen for Blue Street. We then had dinner and after that we went and watched Climax and that is when the new King and Queen was announced which just so you all know the new king and queen was Dave and Lori. I then got a prep talk from Sherri and after that Sherri and I went to the lounge where James, Matty, and Mary were and we had a few drinks and hung out for a bit. Then on Saturday James and I went and had some breakfast with Mary and after breakfast we went to go work for Blue Street... Sherri noticed something was wrong with me and she asked me if I was okay and I shook my head yes and she did this all from the stage. Later when Sherri came to tell me she would work with me on my homework she asked me if I was okay and I told her yes and she then replied no you're not we will talk later. James and I hung out in the lounge with Mary on Saturday and then we went to sell cds for Blue Street's second set. After that Sherri helped me with some homework and then James and I went out to eat with Sherri, Matty, Gailene , and a friend of theirs. We talked about many things in the restaurant. After dinner James and I sold cds for Blue Street's last set. That was so much fun because Sherri sang mine and James' song (I am talking about the song she sang when he proposed to me) and James and I danced to the song! After that James and I stayed and watched Climax play with Sherri, Matty, and Gailene. Then James and I went and said bye to Sherri and Matty and Sherri and I set up a time on Monday that we could meet up since her and Matty were not going to be at the festival on Sunday since they had to be in Sacramento. On Sunday James and I went and watched Fulton Street play and on the way to that I got a picture of Hal playing with Bob Schulz Frisco Jazz Band and then off James and I went to sell cds for Blue Street. After we finished selling cds for Blue Street James and I went and watched Hal play with Fulton Street which was a wonderful set and then James and I moved our way over to the cds table to sell cds for Blue Street again. Usually we would of ended our festival there, but we didn't... James and I then went and saw High Sierra play and that is when we ended our festival. James and I then went and hung out in the lounge and waited for Mary and after that we went and had dinner and then we went and hung out in the lounge with Mary and I texted Sherri to find out what time and where we were going to meet on Monday. Then on Monday James and I met Sherri at Uncle Harry's and we had some coffee and breakfast with her and she gave me a cookbook that was hers and some cooking goodies, so that I could learn how to cook. The highlights of this festival was having my girl talks with Sherri, going out to dinner with Sherri, Matty, Gailene, and their friend, watching Sherri sing with Climax Jazz Band, getting pictures with Bob, Hal, and Clint, meeting Mary, James playing with the sugar, the peppers, his straw, and the silverware at dinnertime on Sunday, hanging out in the lounge with Sherri, Matty, and Mary, being told by Peiter that I really am wonderful, helping Karen Marguth choose some songs to sing at Blue Street's last set and going out to breakfast with Sherri and getting all my cooking goodies and getting a cookbook that was hers.
