At the convention center Marriott. (Unfortunately, this is a work related trip for me, and I'll actually have to go to meetings and talk to people and represent. Blerg!)
It's called a blaster, Will, a word that tends to discourage experimentation. Now, if it were called the Orgasmater, I'd be the first to try your basic button press approach.

I can do that weekend and probably your birthday, but the other weekend I will be out of town.

Mostly lurking...
Cool, shrift.
My brother is planning on coming and getting me on my birthday around 3:00, so we'll probably get into the city around 5:00, or so. I figured we'd start hanging out for drinks around 5:30 somewhere, then dinner at 6:30 or so. It would be fun to have as many people as possible for that.

Okay. I work in the Loop, so it's pretty easy for me to get most places after work.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Sparky, when the A/C guy has gone, I'll take a look at that location and see exactly where you are. You're near the Quarter, of course, but you probably don't want to walk the length of the Quarter in July heat.

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
Yeah, I should be able to manage that, vw.

Thanks, Dana! We can always get a cab somewhere if there's something we shouldn't miss.

Okay, according to the hotel, you're close to both Emeril's and Mulate's. I've never been to Emeril's, but Mulate's has good food, and also has a band and dancing.
The Quarter is not *too* far away, though personally, I would not be dying to walk around in the heat and humidity. It looks like the hotel might have a shuttle (if they have any sense, they do). You can get to several of the Brennan family restaurants. The most famous of theirs is Commander's Palace, of course, but that one's uptown.
Mr. B's Bistro is at 201 Royal Street (Royal and Iberville). Palace Cafe is at 605 Canal Street (Canal and Chartres). Bourbon House is at 144 Bourbon (Bourbon and Iberville). All of those are within a few blocks on the side of the Quarter closest to downtown and the Convention Center area.
You're also close to the Aquarium, if you have time for that. I haven't been since the storm, but it was pretty amazing before then.
