Don't know if anyone is aware of this, but being originally from New Orleans, and having been to several Jazz Funerals before, its something NOT to be missed!

the link provides information about hotels (special rates), what exactly is a jazz funeral, the funeral route, etc.

"The Jazz Funeral for Democracy is a wake and funeral for the principles upon which America once stood.

Traditional New Orleans jazz funeral entitled "A Wake for Peace": Jazz Funeral for Democracy timed to coincide with the inauguration of George W. Bush. Street theater encouraged. March, rally and inaugural ball featuring local New Orleans musicians."
