Thanks, Heather. I totally appreciate it.

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: San Francisco, May 19-21, 2006! Everything else, go here! Swag!

Looks like I'm going to have to cancel on dinner Friday night at Commander's as well. I may not get into NO until late on Friday and don't want to commit to dinner and then not make it.
There's a chance I may still get into town on Thursday at some point, but I'd rather cancel and just grab something simple and local to the hotel rather than stress about the dinner reservation.

Hello all...
[Oops! Ignore this edit. Wrong haunted restaurant.]
On that note, anyone who's going to be around Thursday night up for the Vampire tour?? It seems appropriate... [link] (fair warning: the Vampire Tour link has really annoying cheesy Halloween cackling audio)
I'm going to go on one of the ghost tours on Wednesday, I think. I adore walking tours; it's one of the things I did constantly when I was in London. There's a list of French Quarter tours in general here: [link]
Also, would still love to do the zoo/cruise thing Friday late morning... [link] if we can get 10 people for the reduced rate.
Why yes, I am packing 30 years of expectations about New Orleans into a few short days, why do you ask?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
The ghost tour I took when I was there in January was fantastic -- we picked them because the company really emphasized the talents of their storytellers, and we were not disappointed. I'm trying to find a link...

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
The Vampire tour definitely sounds appropriate.

I would love to do the zoo/cruise thing, but we won't be in on time.
I can bring some appropriate DVD's for Saturday and Sunday morning cartoons. Will we have a coffee pot in the HS? No doubt Brendon will be willing to go and fetch donuts and bagels. I'm thinking it is unlikely he will lounge about in his jammies though.
Did we have a local or driving person bringing a DVD player? I can toss the itty bitty one I use in the van in my luggage if we need it.
It's May!! I'm getting excited now.

Ghosts, vampires, cemetaries. It's all good. I will bring my walking shoes.

I can't find a website (though I'm *sure* they have them), but it's this one:
Haunted Walking Tour
(Historic New Orleans Tours, Inc)
Location: French Quarter
508 Toulouse St. at O'Flaherty's Irish Pub (New Orleans)
Phone: 947-2120
Hours: Meets 7:30 pm nightly
They give you a coupon for "buy one get one free" at the bar, so most people do the tour with a Hurricane in a to-go cup.

Excellent! Thanks, Jess! This is the website that popped up when I googled the company name: [link]
Oh, and it looks excellent! Maybe we should scrap the vampire tour and do the VooDoo Cemetary tour on Thursday...?
