Being a New Orleans native I approve. Unfortunately I already have plans that week.. Bring the GF to Paris to propose to her and whatnot. Also the Louvre.
Sounds like fun Unfreakable. I have a suggesstion for other activities: A restaurant crawl for the foodies! Surely some Farkers from the area could work up a good list of the local hot spots.
There are a bunch of people looking for roomies, to help alleviate costs and such. Maybe that would make the difference for some people that want to go but can't because of costs. Maybe there should be a thread or something with people that would be willing to split a room, and then y'all can pair up.

/wish I could go
Actually, there will probably be a bunch of side-trips to various area restaurants, as well as little jazz and blues clubs, karaoke, things like that.

I'm planning on dragging people to Frenchmen Street for music....
Unfortunately, I'm already taking a week off to visit Nashville at the end of March and April 8th off for the Indians home opener. Maybe next year...again.

Wife and I just moved to Nashville FROM New Orleans not too long ago.
The fact that I'm now here and the party is there may be the only regret I have about moving away.
As another native, I MUST ask: "Why Bourbon Street?" As a service to others, I'll probably lead a side-trip or two to the Marigny, so you can see actual good bars, and not touristy crap hawked on Bourbon. Also, I'm down for a poker tournament.

Not everything has to take place on Bourbon Street, but for a lot of people who have never been there, it wouldn't make sense to go to New Orleans and then not even go there once. New Orleans is a hell of a lot more than just Bourbon Street, and I expect that the locals will be able to show noobs like me what's cool.

Seconded. Seriously, Bourbon street is fun for about 45 minutes.

This. I'm expecting that people that have never been to NOLA will want to see and party on the infamous Bourbon Street. It's a given, and I understand it.
That being said, I will try like hell to drag people to Frenchmen Street, to the LGD, the Marigny, and just other areas of the FQ.

well, if you have a venue set up for the event already, it doesn't really matter what street it's on. and, it's not like the marigny is a far walk. i assume most people are coming in from out of town, so being close to the cbd hotels is probably a bonus. but, the bar and restaurant excursions should happen away from bourbon st, lest you create a new group of people who see only the tourist containment zone of this great city.
Unfreakable:Hey locals: what are the must-see/must-do things when we get there? What restaurants do you recommend? What places?
Obviously a stop at Cafe du Monde for Beignets...hahaha, but I don't have to tell you that.
Frenchmen Street for the music clubs.
Coop's on Decatur, but apparently the word it out about that place...I've never seen it more crowded than in the last few years. Lines to get in. Lines!
Camellia Grill...take the St. Charles Streetcar all the way Uptown. And after you stuff yourselves there, walk across the street and stuff yourselves with more food and lots o' booze at Cooter Brown's.
Obviously, you have to visit the French Market/flea market for touristy crap...it's a good place to find CDs of local musicians, though, and also local artists.

I will be staying in the Marigny. I'm also not going to biatch about the event locations. It's all within walking/stumbling distance.
