vw, I'm sure I can make one of those weekends.
Yay! I think if you come the second weekend, Anne W is coming up too.
Looks like civilization finally caught up with us.

F2F 4: Too Much Candy, Never Enough Mojitos.
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.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Make sure to check the hours on all restaurants too, Sparky. A lot of places are still having trouble with staffing. I know K-Paul's is only open for dinner, something like 5:30-10. Bourbon House is definitely open for lunch.

Is that a recent development, Dana? I didn't go there during the f2f, but I've eaten lunch at K-Paul's on two previous trips to New Orleans.

It must be. We were looking at going when we were in town for 4th of July, but the webpage says dinner only, 5:30 - 9:30.
Unless the webpage is wrong, which is always possible.

Yay for places to eat!
Although, finding enough to eat is not usually a problem at these things.

Yes, but these are GOOD places to eat (I know, having worked many conferences)

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Sail, if you come the second weekend, you are welcome to my couch. I may be in the process of packing by then, so you may have to put up with some boxes. If that's doable, then you can hang here. (I have a new couch that's not quite as comfy as the old one for sleeping, but it's still okay!)

I've been to Emeril's and it's very good but quite pricey and not particularly New Orleansy. There's a wine bar right near there that's pretty nice, or used to be anyway. I can't remember the name, but it's something obvious like The Wine Something or The Cellar or something like that.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I haven't been close to the convention center since PK, but I second Mulatte's.
If you do get to the quarter I suggest Muriel's right on the Square.
Wasn't there a line that went down to the Aquarium?
