A New Orleans Year

I just got back from a spectacular vacation! I celebrated New Years in New Orleans- and let me tell you this was the perfect time to go!  It was also the sugar bowl, and my favorite team was playing. Everywhere I looked, I saw droves of Michigan fans in Blue gear. I felt like I was in a warm Ann Arbor. The atmosphere was incredible- and new years: unforgettable

The French Quarter is the place to be for New Years! I was lost with all the buzz happening around me, so I followed the crowd, and to the perfect place! I ended up right near the Jax Brewery, where the Fleur dropped at midnight followed by fireworks from the river on the other side. It was the most spectacular firework I have ever seen. A great way to ring in 2012- the biggest year of my life. It's the year I turn 18, vote, graduate, choose a college, go to college, lose those damn driving restrictions and so many other things that are bound to happen but not guaranteed.


And here's the best part of the vacation- a FREE impromptu Kelly Clarkson concert that unleashed the 13 year old girl inside me surrounded by Michigan fans and a cranky single smoking douchebag.  The concert reminded me how much I love Kelly Clarkson- and my tweets landed me on the allstate fan fest MEGATRON twice! so follow me @jax223. My tweets are fun and I am pretty good at constantly updating my loyal followers daily. That was an amazing night followed by an amazing win- that I only could watch on tv because my dad didn't want to scalp tickets. oh well- amazing vacation!

Now, everyone go visit NOLA- get some beignets at Cafe Dumond and hang out on Decatur street and Magazine street- skip the over-hyped  Bourbon street. It didn't impress me.

I LOVE FREE MUSIC!

We don't hear that word very often anymore, do we? Free?
I have the hottest tips on where to find free music.

1. Free all Music
               Each Tuesday, through facebook, this website gives 1 free song of your choosing to you for free! You only have to watch a commercial to get it. They are sometimes about the Apocalypse, which is weird.  But, Free song is totally worth it.

2. Spotify
              Sets up like Itunes and connected to your facebook, you can listen to any song you like, for free, as long as you want. Search songs you don't have, search new music, share playlists with friends... this program is addicting.

3. Pandora
             Unless you have been living under a rock your entire life, I'm sure that you have heard of this one.  Here's the gist, pick a favorite  artist or music genre and listen to music that is similar to it. New music!
