Good to know! The heat/humidity was the main reason I waffled so long on booking. But my want to see everyone and NO won out over my hatred of severe heat. And actually it's not the heat itself. It's the heat while trying to look presentable! In Hawaii and Texas I just give in and go with no makeup and wear beachwear all day. But I can't see doing that in NO.
I'm supposed to deliver you to the Master now. There's this whole deal where I get to be immortal. Are you cool with that?

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Honey, you can be glittered up to your eyeballs or dressed as down as you like. People don't really blink either way. There are a few fancy restaurants with dress codes, but it's such a tourist town that most places are pretty casual.
You know, I've never done a cemetery tour? I just work in them. You have to do a tour of St. Louis #1 now, you can't just go in anymore. Too much vandalism at Marie Laveau's tomb. Anyway, I might be interested in a cemetery tour, or the very least have a company to recommend. And I can point out the tombs I've helped restore!

From way back (I was searching for where peeps are staying):
So are there any set plans yet for the September 19th weekend in New Orleans? I have a plane ticket (yay!) and a place to stay (my parents!). There's a Saints game that weekend -- are the localistas planning to watch that?
I get to meet Dana! And I am totally down for watching the game! That leaves Monday for a cemetery tour.

SOC is who I was going to recommend. Lower chance of completely made up BS. St. Louis #1 is the oldest cemetery still in existence in the city, and has Marie Laveau and city founders and such in it. Also, as I said before, you can't go in unless you are with a tour group. Lafayette #1 is very close to my house, and if people are interested I can walk you through and show you some tombs I've worked on.

You have to do a tour of St. Louis #1
Which reminds me - do they have a gift shop, by chance? That sells packages of graveyard dirt?

Yeah St. Louis 1 is my first choice - Smonster do you think it's overkill (npi) for us to tour St Louis 1 officially Monday and you walk us through Lafayette if we still have time/energy? I would absolutely love seeing your restoration work. In fact, I was going to ask you to show me houses you've worked on.

Anyone who is up for a Monday cemetery tour please let me know and I'll make the online reservations. If cost makes you hesitate, you can email me privately and I can likely cover you.
