2010 Dixieland Monterey


So it is that time where I update you on my memories of the jazz festival. Anyways, James and I arrived in Monterey at 11 am and we checked into our hotel and then at 11:30 am we went and watched Titan Hot Seven. After watching Titan Hot Seven we went to the Hospitality room and had a bit to eat. Then at 2:30 pm we ended up watching Titan Hot Seven and after that set James and I went to go catch Katie Cavera to get our Super Fan buttons which are perfect and I got to meet RaeAnn. Then at 4:30 we went and sold for Ivory and Gold and that is when I got to meet Tom Warner. At 7:30 pm James and I helped Anne out and sold Cds for We 3 since she had to go get set up for her next set. Then at 8:30 pm James and I went and sold CDs for the Barnhart- Midri quartet. On Saturday James and I woke up and started our day at 10:30 am with the International Sextet. Before the band started James and I talked to the band members and we got to talk to RaeAnn some more. Then we went to the Hospitality room to eat and relax a bit. Then at 1 pm we went and watched Titan Hot Seven play. After Titan Hot Seven James and I went and sold for Ivory and Gold at 3 pm. We ended up meeting and having a nice talk with Jim Martinez. After Ivory and Gold James and I ended talking to the directors of the Monterey festival and then we walked to Gilbert's and watched auntie Yve play. When Auntie Yve saw us she told the audience that she was going to be marrying James and I in October. Then James and I went and got some food and then we went to go listen to We 3. After the We 3 set James and I went to go watch Titan Hot Seven at 7:30 pm and then we ended the night with Blue Street. Then on Sunday James and I started our day at 9 am and we sold cds for the Barnhart- Midri Quartet where I got to dance with Tom Warner. After that set I was asked if I was Jeff's daughter and Jeff told the lady I wasn't, but when I told him " no remember Kymmi and I decided you were our adoptive parents" Jeff said that is right "these are our adoptive kids." Them James and I went at 11 am to go watch Auntie Yve play and at that time auntie Ava called and auntie Yve had the whole audience say hi. Then James and I went and sold cds for Ivory and Gold. After Ivory and Gold James and I ran down stairs to go get some food and then we went to help Anne sell for We 3 and we listened to We 3. Then at 3 pm James and I watched the last Titan Hot Seven set where we got to meet Jim Buchman the newest Titan Hot Seven member. The highlights of this festival was being asked if I was Jeff's daughter, Anne giving me a beautiful choker and telling me she thought of me when she saw it, Anne giving James and I some unfiltered red wine, Anne giving me some red roses, finally meeting RaeAnn and Tom, meeting Jim Buchman, Anne making a sign that said toilet and pointing to where the bathroom was so she could save her voice, meeting Jim Martinez, getting to dance with Tom, and getting mine and James' super fan button that Katie Cavera made for us!
