| It began the moment we arrived at Reagan National
Airport in Washington D.C. It was a Wednesday night, and we were
headed to Baton Rouge, Louisiana, via Houston, with a final destination
of New Orleans. We were not really headed to New Orleans though;
we were headed for Jazz Fest. And Jazz Fest is not a location, it
is not a concert, it is a State of Mind. A state of mind that, when
captured, can provide months of free therapy and contagious grins.
As is often the case when vacationing, even the most mundane aspects
of life seem enjoyable. The technical term for this “vacation
effect” was identified by Herr Docktor Manfield, a late disciple
of Freud’s in 1936. The “Jazzfest Effect” is a
particularly acute version of the vacation effect and is typically
contagious in late April in the southern region of the United States.
Common symptoms of The Jazzfest Effect include enjoyment of the
laborious boarding process, the middle seat and even the food seemed
enjoyable, or could that have been the bourbon talking?
