Today's NYTimes reports Jimmy will join many at the spring festival. Wouldn't it be incredible if Jimmy was joined by Irma Thomas and Frogman Henry for Saxophones?

I'd love to go to hear Jimmy and all those great musicians do their thing. But I'm wondering about all the hotels....are they mostly up and running or will it be impossible to get a room?

I have been trying all day to get ANY accomodations for the weekend Jimmy is playing. There is pretty much nothing available. My guess is all the hotels are filled with displaced victims of Katrina or workers . We had the same problem in Palm Beach after the storm damage there. The best we could do in New Orleans would be over $200 a night and though I love Jimmy big time , I can't afford that. Does anyone out there have any suggestions?

Not sure if it'll help, but you can try this thread to read and ask.
