T-Shirts Seen at Jazz Fest 09

"Chocolate City -- We're bitter."

"George Matters" (George Porter, naturally)

"Air George" (With silhouette of George Porter jumping)

A skull pictured over two trombones placed X-wise -- skull & cross 'bones, get it?

At the crawfish sack booth, the workers wore T-shirts with an outline of the New Orleans skyline and the tag "Sacks and the City" -- get that one?

"Mystic Krewe of Mau Mau" (We used to call it "mau-mauing" back in the day when elected officials in NOLA were almost all white, and we wanted to affect a vote by bringing in a large group of black folks.)

"Zulu Diamond Cutters" (I'm pretty sure this did NOT refer to Zulus in Africa.)

On a woman not attractive enough to get away with it: "Too horny for my own good."

A little child's T-shirt: "I'm really in charge, the parents are just for show."

An older woman's T-shirt: "Mothers Against Absolutely Everything -- We don't nag, we encourage in a nagging way."
