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

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

That said, IMO staying in the marigny is always a good idea.
Concur. I'd rather stay in the Marigny than the Quarter. All the goodness of the Quarter and none of the drunken fratty behavior.

Dana's first link looks like it is near my parents' time share, which I have never stayed at but it seems like a nice neighborhood from walking past.

Thanks everyone! I checked the Bienville House yesterday and unfortunately they didn't have rooms available for the dates I wanted, but the others look promising.
I'm waffling now though, last night I found out I can book a room in the Crescent's sister hotel downtown at less than a third the price and still attend the Halloween event I'd originally planned on. It may boil down to which I'd rather hazard, New Orleans traffic or curving bluffside streets in the Ozarks.

We stayed at the Royal Street Courtyard in the Marigny when we were in New Orleans a couple of years ago, and I quite liked it: [link]

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Matt, I've stayed in the Crescent AND in the sister hotel. The Crescent is cooler, but the other hotel is quite nice and not such a whopping climb up a hill.

Just booked a corner room there - I get a turret! As it turns out, they have a costume party on Halloween (backup plan if I can't get a ticket to the seance), and the day after they're screening Romero's Night of the Living Dead in the park next door.

Our wings are not tired.
Looks like fun but I'll either be at GAME 7 of the LCS, or at work. I'm hoping for some Easy Bay time with you and Bob, Lisa.
