The food. I really can't wait for the food. Even the simple stuff like a big helping of red beans and rice sounds like heaven right now.
Zoe: Is there any way I'm gonna get out of this with honor and dignity? Wash: You're pretty much down to ritual suicide, lambie-toes.

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!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I wonder if they do cemetary tours at night?
Yes, they definitely do. ALso during the day. Lots of cemeteries, lots of tours.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
For all you NO haters:
I don't think anybody hates NO. It's a great place. But it's more expensive and hot and even bars that are paragons of history are still bars and if you don't enjoy bars they aren't exactly the biggest draw on the earth nor being trashed the best way to survive the heat. And it was a close vote.
Count me among thinking a run-off vote makes sense to see what the most Buffistas would prefer.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
JZ and I loved lunch at Bacco's where we had the lobster ravioli in butter/champagne sauce with caviar, and 10 cent martinis.
The Mardi Gras Museum right on Jefferson Square was excellent. You'd love it Betsy - they have tons of vintage gowns, crowns, accessories, the full feather Indian suits, old programs. Great stuff for any history buff.
They have some excellent night time tours of the Quarter as well. I'd recommend that over a daytime historical tour.

If I only had a brain...

Trudy, why didn't you raise this issue before the vote?

Thrive to spite them

I'm really hoping for a chance for a cemetry tour, I've wanted to go to NOLA and see the cemetries for ever!

Trudy, why didn't you raise this issue before the vote?
Because it's only on seeing the numbers that I'm thinking this. It's a pretty close margin and a bunch of voters would have preferred elsewhere entirely.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
At night there are also, IIRC, ghost tours, and vampire tours, and voodoo tours, and famous murder tours.
Also, seconding Hec's comment on NOLA vs. DC. NOLA was bad in patches (and there was never more than two shortish blocks to go before finding an air-conditioned restaurant or bookstore or clothing store or coffeehouse or parasol shop to duck into) interrupted by nice cleansing cloudbursts; DC was big brutal concrete blocks of heat sitting on your chest, with blocks and blocks of wide-open streets with no shade or shelter.
No offense to the DC-istas -- it's a beautiful city, but you who live there are a hardy lot.

I can't even.
I agree. We agreed on process in thread, so I'd suggest we move forward. I think, ND, that you might be taking some post-vote grumping to heart. I don't think anyone has suggested we need a do-over.
ETA: whoops, way x-posty. Apologies.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
So when we start compiling stuff to do we should divide tours/historical, shopping, what else?
