Here's what's good about New Orleans: great food, great music, lots of fun things to see, great for history buffs, fun atmosphere.
Surely the Buffistas can take advantage of these virtues to maximize our YayFun.

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!

Art Crawl!!!
Me too P-C! Because I missed my chance the only other time I'd been there.
Also, definitely want to go to the aquarium and a plantation tour sounds fun too.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I don't remember how long ago we went there, but we brought back a box of beignet mix, and my mom never ever made them.
Luckily, I discovered Crescent City Beignets in Houston, so that was, as they say, nummy.
I also want to see anything relating to Gabriel Knight.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Oh, I'm with ND, and I believe I said so. The choice was made, and those definitely attending should be planning. I wasn't dissing the choice, or suggesting a recount, or anything like that. I was pointing out that, personally - as in ME AND ME ALONE, as in not intended to represent anyone but myself - I have physical realities that need my first consideration, and particular tastes/prejudices (see above, re noisy inebriated crowds in small enclosed places) that come in a close second.
And, that's all. I'd be considering whether the lure of snatching a few minutes with people and eating myself paralytic (I've done that in NOLA before, and it's, um, decadent) was a sufficient balance to the possibility of not being able to go outside.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Hi.
A fun thing to do in NO - the New Orleans Pharmacy Museum. No really, I've heard this is really fun....

Our wings are not tired
deb, I'll be splitting my time between the bars and the restaurants, so if you are there with us I'll be joining you in eating myself into a coma.
Hmmm, I'm thinking the leather kilt might not be the best choice for F2F 2005, I wonder if I can get one in a nice linen or something.

See, if it were the New Orleans Pharmacology Museum, maybe I could convince the department to fund my trip.

OOH!!!
(I sense that you're being sarcastic, but ---ooh!! Old medical stuff!!)
The really funny thing about NO being chosen is I've just recently found out that a bunch of my friends from college are planning a mini-reunion in NO, dates TBD. So I may end up going twice this year...

It is cool. However, it used to be free and now it's like $5. For free it's a great deal. For $5 it's not.
Still, plenty of old medical stuff in a preseved old pharmacy.
