00:06Number 19.
00:07My favorite memory of the festival is I put on a play here for the Essence Festival a few years ago
00:15and I was able to bring my mother-in-law and my wife with me and we hit beignets.
00:21We went to the spot at 2 a.m. and we were eating beignets for like an hour.
00:28And I just remember that because who goes out anywhere else you are in the country at 2 a.m. you're in the bed.
00:35At the Essence Festival you're like where's the beignet spot?
00:39So it's all night, all day and all good.
00:43Buy your tickets then come back tomorrow as we continue to Countdown to the 2014 Essence Festival Live in New Orleans July 4th weekend.
