Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I stayed at the Prytania Park hotel last time, which was convenient and plenty nice. (I stayed at whichever was the cheapest of the three linked properties -- others stayed in nicer ones, which were nicer, but I had no problem with my room.) [link]

I'm also open to a multi-bedroom AirBnB if that makes sense, Jess!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

The Prytania Park looks great, actually!

Our wings are not tired.

I stayed at the Prytania Park too, and it was fine!

Yay, actual B&B rather than AirBnB!

The status is NOT quo.

I keep trying to figure out how I could make it work. I KNOW I can't. But I really wish I could!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Aw, my old neighborhood. I will have to do some nostalgic walking around in the vicinity.

I love the Elysian Fields Inn It's a little more expensive, but really terrific. It's right off of the highway and the airport shuttle stops right in front. It's a 10 minute walk to Marigny, and a 15 minute walk to the Quarter.

I am certainly partial to people staying Uptown, because that's where I am and the side of town where I think the better restaurants and bars are. The St. Charles streetcar is just up one block from the inns on Prytania.

Uptown forever! Downtown never! (j/k) (kind of.)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

It's slightly amazing to me that the Uptown attitude is not just native, but is transferred to the transplants.
