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?
I am up for a cemetery tour on Monday!
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.
Yay! Jesse, which hotel did you decide on?
I like the Clue event, the cemetery tour.
I will happily follow localistas' food and bar suggestions.
I, er, can't find my plane e-ticket inmy email folder. D'oh! If someone be kind and help a bitch out. I think I'm scheduledin NOLA m the 19th - 23rd.
Also, I am willing to put together a list of all of the people that are going to New Orleans: phone numbers, email, hotel, arrival and departure dates, etc.
You can IM me on Facebook or you can email me if you have my email address or phone or text if you have that. Looking forward to this!
