3. Do you know who Anne Rice is?

What do you think about her?

[ronzo]

I know who she is...

In fact my friend's ex is her personal assistant. She's a local treasure.

[La_Serpiente]

6. I have read all of her books

my favourite one is Memnoch the Devil.

[ronzo]

8. I read a couple of them.

Interview was great, Vampire Lestat was a good read. She lost me with the whole rock concert thing. Those who must be kept...

Good stuff.

:toast:

5. Well, thanks.

Belated is good.

7. Soooooooooo

How is New Orleans? What is there to do? Are there any other special things to do there?

I always had this impression that New Orleans was different than other cities. When I look at it (although I haven't been there before) it is like this old style city that is mysterious as well.

It seems like the kind of place that has a lot of history behind it.

Care to share some of your thought about what I just said?

[ronzo]

10. c'mon help a brother out....

one at a time, please. I'm going for quantity tonight. :)

New Orleans is very rich historically. We've had a lot of flags flown here.

[ronzo]

11. We have everybody come in for Jazz Fest in April.

The time to visit our city.

Great town for music, and you can't beat the food (no kidding).

[LastKnight]

12. ah, we came feb of last year...

and yes, food is kickass there... tried some can-made gumbo the other day... very dissappointed, its not the same up here in SD

-LK

[ronzo]

13. Hmmm... I smell a market in need.

Every town should have an ex-NOLA chef. We've got plenty. Real deal Nola/cajun cooking is extraordinary.

:toast:

[LastKnight]

14. lol bring it on over

if i could eat cajun every day i would, id be 300 pounds and id love it. lol

[ronzo]

15. Hell, I'd trade my climate for yours.

Don't tempt me. If I had to pick a place to relocate to, it'd be SD,CA or coastal Maine. How's that for dichotomy?

[La_Serpiente]

17. What are your favourite foods?

[LastKnight]

19. really? its all cold and nasty this time of year

[La_Serpiente]

16. What kinds of foods

If you got shrimp, I am moving there in a jiffy

[ronzo]

20. Scrimps, erstas, and crawfish.

They all make an outstanding po-boy sammich. We also got ya soft-shell crab and killer catfish. Yet, I'm a vegetarian in this environment. Can you believe it?

[LastKnight]

21. damn sounds good right now...NT

[politicat]

18. Bananas Foster

And this helps me to 100... cool.

So I'm a slow advancer.... *grin*

Do you think that Bananas Foster was created in homage to Mr. Foster who cleaned up Storyville, or to ridicule him? After all, they *do* kinda look like a deep-fried, flambe-ed, limp.... well, you know.

:evilgrin:

[ronzo]

22. I'll have to check with Julia Street.

That's my kind of dessert, though.

[La_Serpiente]

Is New Orleans a pretty liberal city?

And do you think Jindal will win today?

[ronzo]

No.

_{Is New Orleans a pretty liberal city?}

New Orleans proper? Yes. I live in a very conservative Parish, tho..

_{And do you think Jindal will win today?}

Not today.
The 15th? I hate to say it, but yeah. It doesn't look good.
Most of America has been bamboozled. I blame the media.

[La_Serpiente]
