jazzfest new orleans movie

this afternoon i went to see a movie, 'jazzfest new orleans'. it was a documentary, and it was playing at the mall in eden prairie. i didn't make it in time for the first screening of the day so it was like being on layover at an airport, waiting for the next one. i mainly looked around at two stores, first the hallmark and then the barnes an noble. i was really disciplined, by not buying anything from either store. especially when the former has charlie brown items and the latter has not just books but also CDs and DVDs. i got pictures of some things of interest to me, especially the history books, so i could look them up online later. one disc said it had seven 'bandit', as in 'smokey and the bandit', movies, i had known of only three. i was the only one at the screening, guess i am familiar with how this kind of movie is 'limited interest'. it covered the history of the music festival, which has been around for just over 50 years. i had heard of many of the musicians interviewed for it, including pitbull and katy perry. it served as a nice reminder of visiting 'the big easy' just under 20 years go. it does have footage from the 2005 hurricane/flood, which reminded me of how i was angry because of seeing the city drown. it included the image of a man waving a flag on top of a house while two others held up a sign saying 'help us'. after two years of no festival due to the pandemic, they do have it again and there is footage of this as well. jimmy buffett, the 'margaritaville' performer, was listed as a producer of the movie. after the movie was done i got a sandwich at a nearby gas station and drove to an open-mic, where i told the story of being at the mall as well as how i am attending a twins game in less than a week instead of my class reunion. later on i went on a walk and found 29 cents.
