I was in may last year. It was before K.
It was my 2nd time and frankly the city is not big deal to me. Seattle or San Francisco are far more beautiful. But the quarter is cool, if you want to have fun THAT'S THE PLACE. The HB is a great place too, though maybe it depends on who is performing.

I stay at International House.

if you like queer bars...OZ is nice and there's one across the street too tho the name escapes me.

It just doesn't feel like New Orleans to me without the smell of piss and puke and a cockroach carcass kicked outside the front door to welcome me.

But the W in the Quarter is okay. The courtyard's beautiful but the rooms are just okay. 'Cept for the gay porn on the pay-per-view. That was pretty cool.

The Bourbon Street Pub...a great bar...and Lafittes In Exile is just a block down the street - and it's the oldest gay bar in the nation.

I love New Orleans...

My favorite bar was "Good Friends", but not sure if it's still around. Oh and I loved the nasty one with skinny go-go boys dancing on barrels. Corner Pocket or something like that.

Both bars are still there!
I've spent a couple Thanksgivings at Corner Pocket....

I'm going but you knew that.

I still have to book my flight and hotel but I am waiting until all of the dates are announced before I do. I don't know what city I will be flying from and what city I will be flying to the next day after. I am going to try to get to NO on that Sunday unless there is another show on that Sunday that I want to go see.

There's a place I went to, can't think of the name now...if somebody said it, I would recognize it, probably. Something French. Anyway, I had what they claimed was snapper, but it was just awful. A very, very fishy aftertaste. I think I was still tasting it a week later. It was disgusting. The place was not cheap, either. We sat outside, next to the trolley tracks.

There was a place called Orleans Cafe, on the other hand, that had delicious snapper. Really tasty. And a greasy spoon called Dixie Gyro, another place where we had (I think) jumbalaya, but I can't remember the name of it. It was some kind of historic building, though.
