Buffy ,'Lies My Parents Told Me'
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!
Me too P-C! Because I missed my chance the only other time I'd been there.
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.
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.
Hi.
A fun thing to do in NO - the New Orleans Pharmacy Museum. No really, I've heard this is really fun....
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.
More on the museum:
In 1823, the first licensed pharmacist in the United States, Louis J. Dufilho, Jr., opened an apothecary shop here. This Creole-style town house doubled as his home, and he cultivated herbs needed for medicines in the interior courtyard. Exhibits highlight milestones in pharmacy and medicine. The exhibits include various medical widgets, gizmos and gadgets, some partical and some not.
They've got little pharmacy bottles of herion and what-not. Also, the last two words of the above paragraph makes the museum especially fun.
Oh Lord. We had a new Crescent City Beignets open in Memphis. They're advertising authentic French Quarter atmosphere in a converted fast food restaurant that has plastic tables and chairs, a plastic order counter with backlit menu overhead, and a storefront made out of modern floor-to-ceiling windows. All this about 3/4 of a mile from Owen Brennan's, mind you.
Yo, "authentic atmosphere" requires more than draping a few Mardi Gras beads around the interior of a Denny's.

OMG, I am so there. Impractical medical widgets fucking ROCK.
