Well the Blind Pelican where meet in New Orleans stays open until 2 am Central so we should be OK. Unfortunately, the 25 cent oysters end daily at 8.
Come on over one weekend and join us.

BigEasy, I will do that someday, hopefully soon. I'm just one state over :)

The Saturday after 9/11, my daughter ('04) and I left New Orleans to drive her back to Palo Alto to start her sophomore year. I think we spent half the trip in Texas!

It'll take you about 13 hrs to traverse the state on IH-10...without traffic :)Â I started my freshman year right after 9/11, and air travel just hasn't been the same since (c/o '05).

just hope they don't show the stands after the third quarter as I would expect a lot of folks who have to work the next day (like me) to be gone by then.
