Huh, I just checked and it's only a 9 hour drive to NOLA from Austin (according to mapquest)
That's definitely doable. What are the parking arrangements at the hotel?
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

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!

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
We are having no ringbearer at our wedding. There is a dearth of suitably-aged male children that we would feel comfortable enslaving asking.
Though we will have a flower girl. A cutie who will be almost 4 when it's her turn to shine. No rose petals, because the church doesn't allow it. She'll carry a pomander instead. I can see her swinging it like a mace at people's knees.

Small fanged rabbits make very good ringbearers. IJS.

Coco and Clovis shall be co-ringbearers. I will not make them wear the feet.

My best friend wound up with a flower girl whether she wanted one or not. Her aunt decided that her 5 year old grand-daughter would make a perfect one and came to the wedding with the little girl all dressed up and ready to go. She went.

$15 per day, if I remember the info correctly.
Also, there are numerous options listed here: [link] But I think the hotel's rate is probably going to beat 24 hour rates in all the public lots.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Okay, peeps. I leave Thursday morning for NOLA. I have never been there before. Bearing in mind that it will be unseasonably cold this weekend (like, the same weather we've got here in NYC), suggest fun things for me to see/do/eat!
I have already been made aware of Trashy Diva and the martini's and lobster ravioli at Bracco's. My hotel is near the French Quarter.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
It's a little bit out of your way, but if you've got time one morning, go to Camelia Grill, on the corner of St. Charles and Carrolton, and get an omelette. (If you take the streetcar up from the French Quarter, you'll get a nice view of a bunch of different parts of the city on the way.)
Also uptown, there's Jacques Imo's on Elm, which has really good food. There's usually a long wait, but you can wait at the Maple Leaf bar next door -- if no one answers in the restaurant when they call a table, they'll go check at the Maple Leaf.
