I just texted ColdChef to see if he can come down.

I'm trying to get someone to cover for me Saturday night, but I was thinking cocktails at the Sazerac Bar in the Roosevelt Hotel around 8 or so. Last time I had drinks there it was amazing, and it's a step up from the French Quarter brews and hand grenades. Any thoughts?

I have yet to be at the Roosevelt Hotel so I am game.

Ok, we'll be there. Gonna have to get a sazerac.

Alright, I'm calling this. The evening will begin this Saturday night (Feb. 25, 2012) at the Sazerac bar in the Roosevelt Hotel at 8pm. Be there!
posted by ColdChef at 7:55 PM on February 21

Excellent! I'll be there.

Hell yeah, I'm in! By the way, seating at the Sazerac bar can be a little iffy (group seating limited to like, a half dozen small tables), so keep that in mind.

I envision a lot of table hopping. It's kind of hard to have a conversation with ten people at a time anyway.
posted by ColdChef at 5:12 PM on February 22

I imagine it'd be better to eat before, yes?

I think you type would enjoy Bellocq on Lee Circle. Give it a try.
posted by komara at 1:04 PM on February 23

Bellocq is on my list. (I assume by "you type" you mean "Girl-Drink Drunks", which I'm not ashamed to admit that I sometimes am)

He means fancy lads
posted by The Whelk at 2:24 PM on February 23

I meant "people who have the ability to appreciate fine things" or yes, Fancy Lads.
posted by komara at 2:30 PM on February 23

It's a 3 hour drive, but if I can get the kid in bed maybe I'll drive over. How late do you fancy lads plan to stay?
posted by ivey at 8:31 AM on February 24

Oh, we're fancy lads now? Too bad it's not seersucker season yet.

Pretty damn late, we will be staying in the city.
posted by the man of twists and turns at 8:53 AM on February 24

But it is jaunty white hat season. also staying in the city for a week starting today so I'm seriously catastrophically open and available

Damn New Orleans your weather is confusing me.
posted by The Whelk at 10:38 AM on February 24

Count me (+1) in.
posted by darainwa at 4:41 PM on February 24

We might stop by. We can't get terribly drunk, though. Robert has a 7 am flight.
posted by domo at 6:23 PM on February 24

I need some Pho Tau Bay in my life so I will be over there with y'all once I get back from the Wank.
posted by mostly vowels at 4:13 PM on February 25

Okay, let's see the drunk pictures.

I'll be in N.O. mid-April, sorry I missed ya, Whelk, but we should maybe try again then? I'd love to meet the Nawlins contingent.
posted by Devils Rancher at 5:29 PM on February 25

I'm here, short lady in a marroon peacoat.
posted by domo at 6:14 PM on February 25

No drunk pictures, but y'all need to come visit while I'm still here. Yer too much fun for one night.
posted by The Whelk at 9:22 PM on February 25

You bastards left before the mayor arrived. A good night tonight. Awesome to see all of you. Thanks for the chicken darainwa.
posted by ColdChef at 11:09 PM on February 25

That was fun! Mitch showed up?
posted by radioamy at 4:17 PM on February 26

Um. It was the mayor of Alexandria. And then it wasn't. But it really was. It was that kind of night.
