Wed April 16 at 6:00 PM, The Avenue Pub
1732 Saint Charles Avenue, New Orleans, LA, USA (Map & Directions)
My wife and I will be visiting New Orleans from April 14 to the 21st. We definitely want to have a meetup. We'll be staying just outside the French Quarter. We'd dig a place with good beer and music. Bonus points if there's a crawfish boil. Looking forward to a good time.

I'm in. Sadly the NOFD frowns on my having a boil in my third floor apartment [lesson learned].

Yes. I'll start thinking about a location. Crawfish are more of a "backyard" thing than a "restaurant" thing. At least for the hellacious amounts that I eat.

Oh, glob -- I saw this go up and I was thinking "I'd go just to meet ColdChef in person" so now I'm excited. I'm pregnant though so I'm going to stick with maybe for now. Yay!!

possible, schedule depending.
We are moving out of the area soon, so I can come to say goodbye!

I saw this go up and I was thinking "I'd go as long as I don't have to meet ColdChef in person" so now I'm depressed.

Well, we're down. We (Mefites) have had success before at The Avenue Pub, on St. Charles.

Sounds OK to me. Anyone have an idea for a time and date?

What works best for your schedule?

Okay, I'll go first: My friend's band is playing on the evening of Saturday the 19th and I have a support group meeting on the afternoon of Sunday the 20th. Beyond that I'm pretty free, with the lucky break that my softball team has a by that week.

Sounds good!

Neil deGrasse Tyson is giving a talk at Tulane at 20:00 on Monday the 14th, if anybody is into that.
posted by Corinth at 8:32 PM on April 3, 2014


Can't make the 16th, sorry. I opened a new event for Neil deGrasse Tyson's lecture.

It's today! I'll see y'all there!

I'll be wearing a maroon shirt, a straw hat, and a searching gaze. See you all in a few.

Wish I could make it but unfortunately I can't.

I'm wearing a white/gray/black dress with black leggings. Heading out in a few minutes to account for Jefferson Parish traffic.

You will also be able to tell because my hair will probably still be wet on account of my poor time management skills.
posted by Corinth at 3:09 PM on April 16, 2014


Will be there soon. I'll be the one dressed like an undertaker.

No straw hat - it got cold - for here. Out the door now catching the streetcar which means I'll be early or late. I'm the intentionally bald dude without socks.

Probably fifteen minutes out.

I found vapidave! We're downstairs!

Thanks all. I had a great time.

Yeah! It was cool to meet all of you! I hope you keep us informed on the rest of your New Orleans trip, jonmc!
