Reason 536 to have F2F 05 in NO - you can drink the water right out of the tap.
...unless there's been a recent kerosene spill upriver. (There were a couple during my years in NOLA.)
Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

F2F 2: Is there anybody here that hasn't slept together?
Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: New Orleans! May 20-22, 2005!

Ann, that's a ferret.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'd always figured that first world water tasted better than third world water. But when your first world is Lacolle, PQ, and your third is Jamaica, NSM. And then there is, as mentioned upthread, LA. God, I'd be dehydrated without Brita. I wish that more restaurants would bother filter, though.

I cannot remember for the life of me what the tap water tastes like having spent too much time drinking other things.
Amen. I don't think tap water taste has ever been a consideration for anyone I've been to New Orleans with.
Now, whether it flows down the drain quickly enough to avoid drowning if one passes out in the shower is an entirely different matter.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

You've made it to the shower?
Actually, I haven't passed out in NO in a loooooong time. If the buzz feels like it's tipping over into bad territory- bottled water and dancing. Then, on to the next bar.

A table might be useful, Heather. What I'm really wondering is if I should call up the places who are offering the higher nightly rates to find out what's available in the way of hospitality suites or Prom Space or whatever info they haven't given me yet. I was reflexively writing them off in my head, but I can call them if we want the info.
There haven't been kerosene spills in years. It's very possible that whatever company was responsible has either gone out of business or moved overseas...

Fair enough, since it's been years since I've lived in NOLA. 20, to be exact.

Truth be told, Minneapolis is the only city in which I've drunk enough to pass out. But I did make it to the shower, where I woke up hours later with no memory of how I got back after hitting the locked door of the Skywalk. I may be less clumsy in a fugue state than when conscious.
Do the bars in Minneapolis still close at 1 am?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I wish that more restaurants would bother filter, though.
But then how would they persuade you to buy the fancy bottled stuff?
I lurve my Brita. If I thought I could spare the fridge space, I'd upgrade to one of the big square ones.

I'm trying to think when the last time someone at the table ordered bottled water that didn't come with added (purposely added) bubbles. It's been forever, no matter if the meal was $2.50 or $25.00.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I would actually write off the too high nightly since the most important thing is getting as many buffistas there as possible.
If you want to forward me the info I'll put it together. Or, conversely, if you want me to forward you a table that you can input the stuff, I can go do that (Maybe Saturday- my database program at work sucks!)
