You guys don't even know how bad I can't wait. I went for the first time in 2008 BY MYSELF and had a BALL! That day I said I would never miss a year. I went this year, this time with friends and had a ball! I stay at the Marriott New Orleans at 555 Canal St.. centrally located to everything.. Bourban st, everything on Canal, French Quarter and the convention center. It looks like I'll be going by myself again so I just booked my hotel 5 minutes ago!! The party train don't stop just because everyone gets off baby...WOOOO-WWWHHOOOOOOO!
