Yeah, we're building a race of frog-people. It's a good time

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!

The Underground Tour is fun. They aren't kidding about spotty lighting and uneven ground, however. Shoes you can walk in are very, very important.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Oooh, that does sound neat. I'll have to remember to pack at least one pair of sensible shoes.

Up with the sun

I might be up for it, but I'd have to know what it will cost and when we could fit it in, since it sounds like Saturday and Sunday are both pretty full.

It's $10 -- the official website is here.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I've done the tour, when I lived there, and it was a lot of fun. I don't think I need to do it again but I can always entertain myself while others do.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I've also done the Underground Tour, both times I've been to Seattle ('92ish and 2001), and would recommend it highly.

There appears to be a few options in regards to the tour.

I don't see any options...

I'm going to be staying at the St Louis over MLK Day weekend (Jan 15-17), so if we end up picking that one, I can check anything out that needs to be checked out.

Cool. I'm trying to get to the places we're considering to see them in person, but it looks like it won't happen by the end of October. In any case, actual staying-there experience will certainly be helpful for us if we choose the St. Louis.

I can't even get through a paragraph without getting distracted.

I have e-mailed the New Orleans Fine Hotels people twice and they have not gotten back to me at all. If someone wants to call and pester them for info, the numbers I have are 504-962-5524 and 1-800-510-3450 (phones are not my friends). I did try putting our dates in their web site to check for availability, and was only able to find 5 rooms at the French Market Inn, so I am beginning to doubt how well they can accommodate us.

Our wings are not tired

Excellent. Thanks for the updates on New Orleans stuff. I'm up to my eyeballs in a couple of designs right now (I didn't get home until after 11 tonight...gronk...) but I should be able to help look over things soon and we'll put together a plan of attack for picking our hotel.

Thanks again for your hard work -t and Heather and anyone else who is working on New Orleans stuff that I'm forgetting in my work addled haze right now.

If I only had a brain...

I thought we had decided on New Orleans?
