No oysters for me whether the month has an 'R' or not. <== That's me gagging.

I'm in July 15-17. Now I need to figure out what I'm doing Jazz-wise .

What time do you arr on the 15th? I hope you can keep Wed open because that's our one overlapping day/night. bk3day and I are both outta there on the 16th.

Here's E-2 Airport bus and VisiTour day pass info.

[Palal]

I'm arriving after midnight, so early on the 16th. I'm hoping to do a same-day standby and arrive around 17:00 instead.

Okay. My fingers are crossed for stand-by.

Not sure what time bk is departing, but my flight time is 8:30am on the 16th. So we might have to plan a wee-hours-of-the-night DO for Wed/Thu.

Let me correct myself. Im actually in town 13-15Jul not 15-17 that I mentioned above.

[boxo]

Great news. Let us know when you figure out the jazz part of your stay.

Suggested by lalala: Cochon [yelp $$] and Stella [yelp $$$$]

At some point, I wanna have a po' boy (ermm, the sandwich) and a muffuletta... and of course beignets.

[Mrp Alert]

I have a free room to offer from the 12-17th.

Unfortunate that you're not able to attend. I wish I could take this off your hands but I'm not able to go either.

Once Mrp Alert's generous offer of hotel has been taken, for any late-comers to this DO, know that LastMinuteTravel is offering the Intercontinental for only $10/night during the 12-16th!

God how I wish I could go! I love NOLA.

[boxo]

Ahhhhh! I'm wilting already. weather forecast

[boxo]

Here are a few things I'd like to do/see:

Degas House - $10, by appt only

Southern Food & Beverage Museum & American Cocktail Museum - $10

New Orleans Museum of Art - $8, Wed-Sun

Ferry to Algiers Point - Free (would love to get some night shots of NO from there)

A voodoo temple/museum/store

A cemetery
