OH, boy - does that look good ! I think NO had some of the best food I had ever tasted ! Cayenne on the popcorn, crawfish on the burgers, GUMBO and super, super coffee.

This is going to be the same weekend it was last year right? Second weekend of Jazz Festival when we're down there?

The lab in the front in Cappi who is the lab in the back, Mocha's neice. The shepard in Amsel.

Mocha and Amsel are here in Tampa with me now, Cappi is with my sister's family. My nephews and her became inseperatable so they now keep her.

Hmm .. never been to New Orleans, and its always been on my list of places to visit B)

Reason I asked is this.
These are our dogs. Casey is the Lab, and Buddy is the Shepherd mix.

Damn,
I miss New Orleans and hot/spicy crawfish...what's the date?

My girlfriends a bit freakier than me...she sucks the brains or guts or whatever out of the heads...grosses me out...

haha, Evil Chris I like your style!!!

bet that made you take a double look there for a sec. i know it did with me

Too bad I don't like crawfish! Or anything else that comes out of the water for that matter!! :P

Cute dogs....


Labs and Shepards are great dogs.

Not even Elle MacPherson circa 1990????? :blink:


Think Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issues - 3 years in a row on the cover!

KK you are right.. I think : )

Looks like we are going to have the boil on Sunday May 2 to go along with the Jazzfest weekend !

I will check around for hotels this week see if anybody has good rates.

That's the weekend :)

Please keep us updated Billy http://www.anchoredbygrace.com/smileys/hungrysmiley.gif

hehe... yeah!
I was like... HEY, those look like my dogs. :)

I agree Mike. Both of them are great. Casey is pure, and Buddy we rescued from the local shelter.

Buddy is amazing. Sticks beside the baby 99% of the time.

sweet cant wait, great food, great friends :rokk:

I did a quck check of the Hilton and the Marriot and both were about 200 a night I think it's because of the Jazz Fest, I guess it would depend on where you want to stay, in the Quarter or just looking for a bed : )

Oppp didn't work right

I checked some prices through http://www.turbotrip.com

Anyone have any other sources

That's too close to the next weekend which is going to either be:

a) Lensman's thing in ATL
b ) My all school HS reunion (I don't think they've thought this one through...the school now has police and metal detectors there - we want THOSE classes with us?? :zoinks: And 40 years worth of classes is a LOT O' PEOPLE!!)
c) My sisters's college graduation

Even if just one happens there's no way I can take the previous weekend off. :(

Of course, I said I COULD come last year (even bought a ticket, damn it) and didn't, so maybe now that I've said I CAN'T come, I'll be able to. :awinky:

I'm calling DIBS on MikeAI's couch RIGHT NOW!! :nyanya:
