2018 Three Rivers Jazzaffair

It is that time again where I update you on yet another jazz festival. James, Malcolm and I went to Three Rivers Jazzaffair April 13th to April 15th. We had such a blast. Before we left Fresno we had to run some errands. I had to go get my paycheck and then we had to go to my bank and James bank and to get gas. And then we left at about 11 am. We made it to Exeter at 12:21 pm on Friday and we unloaded the car and had lunch and packed our meal for dinner and my mom trimmed Malcolm's hair. Then we went to the dollar store and to A & W for Rootbeer floats. Then after A & W we went up the hill to Three Rivers. At 2:45 pm my mom and dad went to St. Anthony's Retreat to sell cds for Cornet Chop Suey and James, Malcolm and I went to the Memorial Building to sell cds for Blue Street. Then at 4 pm we headed to the Lions Arena and we watched High Street play and after that set James, Malcolm, and I sold cds for Blue Street. Then after Blue Street we stayed and we watched Cornet Chop Suey. Then at 7:45 pm we went to the Memorial Building and we watched High Sierra play. And right after that we partied with High Street. Malcolm danced with Sylvia at that set. On Saturday we got up early and we had breakfast at the hotel and then we headed up the hill. At 9:45 am James, Malcolm and I sold cds for Blue Street at St. Anothy's Retreat. Then we went to the hospitality room and hung out with some of the musicians. Malcolm enjoyed that a lot and Sam took a picture of Malcolm and then he sent it to his mom. I love how much the musicians love us. At 12:15 pm we watched Cornet Chop Suey and then we watched a little bit of High Street (we had to leave early). Then at 2:45 pm we went to the Lions Arena and we sold cds for Blue Street. James, Malcolm, and I stayed and ate lunch while Tom Rigney was playing. Then at 5:15 pm Cornet Chop Suey played. At 6:30 pm we went to the Memorial Building and we sat and talked to some of our friends and Malcolm kept on saying Hey Babe to Sylvia. Then at 7:45 pm we sold cds for Blue Street. On Sunday we woke up and had breakfast and packed up and then we headed up the hill. As we headed up the hill we took some pictures. At 10:15 am we went to the Memorial Building and sold cds. Dave gave a great message on complaining/grumbling (something I defiantly needed). And then after that set James, Malcolm, and I got to catch up with my mentor and her husband for 20 to 30 minutes. We had some lunch with them. Then at 1 pm we headed to St. Anthony's Retreat and we sold cds for Blue Street. Malcolm got to help Matty carry in his banjo/guitar stand and he jammed out on the drums with Sam for a bit.  I wish I got a picture of that. After that set we said our goodbyes and then we headed to the Lions Arena and we watched Cornet Chop Suey and we had our second lunch. Then we went to Reimers for some ice cream and to buy some candy. The highlights of this festival was Malcolm dancing with Sylvia, catching up with my mentor and her husband, Dave's message, Malcolm jamming out on the drums with Sam, having a rootbeer float, having ice cream at Reimers, Malcolm flirting with Sylvia, Malcolm saying Hey babe to Sylvia, partying with High Street, seeing how high the rivers are, and Malcolm getting his hair trimmed.
