<p>It&#039;s awesome that <a href="http://music.msn.com/music/neworleansjazz">MSN is broadcasting the festival live</a>. <a href="http://www.ernietheattorney.net/">Ernie the Attorney</a>, who lives in New Orleans, told me that this year&#039;s JazzFest will be historic and that they are seeing even more awesome musicians coming to town than they usually do.</p>
<p>Anyone see any other great blogging or podcasting or videoblogging from New Orleans? Let us know.</p>
<p>As for <a href="http://www.seattlemind.com/index.php/mindcamp/article/getting-ready-for-seattle-mind-camp-the-practical-guide/">MindCamp</a>, I&#039;ll be there today, unfortunately it&#039;s sold out so if you don&#039;t have tickets it won&#039;t be possible to get you in. That&#039;s a good reminder to get your tickets for these events:&nbsp;<a href="http://www.meshforum.org/">MeshForum</a> (mid-May in San Francisco);&nbsp;<a href="http://www.syndicateconference.com/live/38/">Syndicate</a> (mid-May in New York); <a href="http://www.ftponline.com/conferences/vslive/">VSLive</a> (mid-May in Orlando and Mid-June in Las Vegas); <a href="http://www.medc2006.com/">Microsoft Mobile and Embedded DevCon</a> (mid-May in Las Vegas); <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/winhec/">Windows Hardware Conference</a> (mid-May in Seattle); <a href="http://www.ebaydevcon.com/">eBayDevCon</a> (mid-June in Las Vegas); <a href="http://www.supernova2006.com/">SuperNova</a> (mid-June in San Francisco); <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/events/teched2006/default.mspx">TechEd</a> (mid-June in Boston); <a href="http://www.gnomedex.com/">Gnomedex</a>&nbsp;(end of June in Seattle); <a href="http://reboot.dk/">Reboot</a> (beginning of June in Copenhagen)&nbsp;and <a href="http://www.blogher.org/">BlogHer</a>&nbsp;(end of July in Silicon Valley). Tickets to most of these events are going quickly.</p>
<p>Update: I forgot <a href="http://vloggercon.com/">VLoggerCon</a> (mid-June in San Francisco).</p>
<p>Can the world take more geek and blogger conferences? I sure can&#039;t. I&#039;m sure I&#039;m forgetting some, but I&#039;m exhausted just by listing them all out.</p>
<p>What conferences are you attending in the next few months?</p>
