Oh, that is sad. I just made a reservation for the Vegas one, but it's not the same thing.

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: Madison, WI from June 20-22 2008! Official website.
Hmm. That location might actually be okay, Vortex, based on some googling. I admit to not knowing much about Faubourg Marigny, although I still maintain that the walking might get a little tiresome.

The LV chef and much of the staff are (or were as of April) imports from NOLA, so although you won't be able to get a window table with a view of a lovely mournful graveyard, you will be able to get a proper meal. Also, don't miss the Museum of the American Cocktail.
Hec and I stayed in the Marigny on our honeymoon and one of the doctors I work for lived there during med school/residency; we loved visiting and she loved her 3-4 years there. Funky and artsy and, IIRC, close enough to the Quarter that it didn't sustain devastating flood damage. If you go there, keep an eye out for the ramshackle anarchist pirate coffeehouse.

oh, I am SO requesting that table. I sent an email asking if they'd be open by october.

sounds like it must not be missed!
Vortex, friends of mine stayed at the Elysian Fields Inn and it was very nice. It's not far from some sketchiness, but nowhere in NO is far from sketchiness, really, and it's not like you have to go through a bad neighborhood to get to the quarter or anything. There used to be a sushi place a block away, and it's conveniently close to the R Bar and environs.
I like the Marigny, even if that's where Royal Fingerbowl says they keep the poison and the filth. Or maybe because of that.
PIMPERS - would a form make this easier for you? Debetesse has one from last year.
Hey, Debetesse, could you possibly send me a copy of the form Aimee's talking about? (I'm fairly certain Northampton isn't going to be able to meet our hotel needs, but I haven't given up quite yet!)
Could I get a form too? Thanks.

Thanks Abi!
