14351-Hey guys...I'm attending a literary conference next weekend and I'm super excited

*closes eyes, daydreams of sipping a Hurricane in New Orleans*

14352. New Orleans is wonderful! Have fun!

14353-Thanks...I plan on having a good time

14354. If you wind up at The River's Edge across the street from Cafe du Monde and want catfish, the pecan-crusted catfish is the best anywhere.

14355-ooh, I'll have to remember that

14356 The literary conference planners must be terribly excited to know Milly will be there!! =)

14357-last time I was in N'awleans I had Grand Marnier battered French Toast drizzled with honey marmalade...it was amazing!

14358. The last time I was there was about 2 months before Katrina. I need a reason to go back. I used to go a couple times a year.

14360-I've been twice since Katrina and had been a few times before too...we actually drove across Lake Ponchatrain (sp?) this last trip and once we got into the parishes it really hit me...you couldn't help but tear up at the devastation that's there still

14361 ??? made sense to me!

14362-I literally look for things to do there...this conference was perfect and the timing was right for me too so, why not? It's New Orleans!!!

14363-Kelly...you just need to plan you a little mini-vacation next weekend and head South to the bayou...so I can prove my point

14364. Aw man, I'm only 5 hours away. I could leave now and be there in time for a late lunch. *tries not to think about it. Too much work to do*

14365 Sounds like you're going to have a great time, Milly.

14366-see, I'm 5 hours away too...that's why it's so tempting

14367-Hi jilly...yeah, I can't wait...it's the Tennessee Williams festival to boot...lots of fun and really cool authors and agents and one act plays and...FOOD and DRINK...woohoo

14369

14371-playing catch-up

14372. Playing mustard to Milly's ketchup

14374 Ummm lessee, Shreveport LA used to be a 23 hour drive from my house, but I'm three more hours north now, so thats...ummm... ummm... 26 hours and then another 2 or 3 to New Orleans from Shreveport... which adds up to... ummm... three weeks living in my car!

14375-aww, come on...it'd be fun

hehe
