You guys and your little paper sizes. Letter?   :wtf:

Good choice in choosing the proper paper size Chris. A4. A4 indeed.

ISO 216!

Get off meh.  Though I must give you credit for that.  That's a hell of an idea. :ohyeah:  Maybe I'll get that in a year when the registration renews or somethin'.

Mildly interesting is a very geeky way.

What's the fun if no one gets it?

People would get 'PAPER OR' on my car, but srsly, ISO 216?

You old people were probably cool as hell a long time ago.

:evildude:

I have more cool in my little finger than you do in your entire self.  Even as an old dude.  I'm down on Bourbon Street this week at a conference and I've already earned some beads.  Yup, flashing my man-boobs to those ladies on the balcony really paid off!  :praise:

I'm guessing most folks would see that as a non-vanity plate.  And those who get it are bound to be insufferably boring. (Not that you'd be insufferably boring for having it, but you know what I'm getting at..... :lol: )

When you're 6'7, your little finger is probably the size of a regular person's index finger.

But anyway, I refuse to believe that you were/are cool  :devil:

Actually, I would say you're pretty cool. But Dave isn't!

I'm at a conference at the Astor on the corner of Bourbon and Canal St.  My 1st time in N.O. - quite the place!  You went to school down here, right?  I can't imagine getting much studying done around here.  :partyon:  Ate at the Palace Cafe and the Bourbon Cafe right in the hotel so far.  Food is amazingly good.  Seafood like up in New England, but cooked Cajun style. So any recommendations?  I'm hanging with a pretty sedate bunch though. They're easily frightened!  Is it any good down by the river at Decatur St, or just a good place to get mugged?  I'm used to Boston where you really have to look for a bad place to walk.  in N.O, it's a lot easier to find those.   :devil:

:lol: I think Eddie is still mad because you beat up on him for being a slacker.  He's venting.  Not sure why he's laying the beat down on me, though.  :cry:  Although he did say I was "pretty cool", so I guess that's a start.

Ha, I'm at law school down here now.  A couple miles uptown of you.

There is a blues club called BMC all the way down Decatur that I like.  If you go all the way down Decatur and turn onto Frenchman street, that's the real Quarter where all the jazz clubs are.  Bourbon St is fun once in a blue moon, but...  You should check it out while you're here, get a Hurricane at Pat O's (sit in the piano bar).

The park by the river right off Jackson Square is pretty cool.  Well, I like it b/c I like watching the shipping...  it's right at a bend in the Mississippi so you get to see the pilots navigate the long barge strings and freighters through a big current rip, the water guy in my loves that.

I don't know what kind of dinner you are looking for, but in my biased opinion (friends w/ the owner, well until he sold it this past year) the best fancy meal is at Galatoire's on Bourbon.  Old old old New Orleans institution.  Wear a jacket to dinner.  Failing that, at least check out Arnaud's or Antoine's.  A local favorite in the quarter is Irene's.  Call ahead- waits can be over two hours on busy nights.

There is a restaurant called Herbsaint right on St. Charles Ave across from Lafayette square that is fantastic, and another famous NOLA place.  None of the ones I have recommended are cheap, mind you.

Do you have a rental car at all or are you on foot?  Get uptown if you can.  Once you start heading uptown your options open wide...  you should get an old fashioned on the porch at the Columns Hotel, again on St. Charles.  If you want funky, right near the Columns (on Amelia St) there is a place called Mayfair that gets an eclectic crowd. 

Magazine St. has a ton of cool shit.  I spend alot of time down there.  If you want a real dive check out Ms Mae's, corner of Napoleon and Magazine.  I spend most of my time at the Bulldog, also on Mag.

Let me know if you've got any questions or specifics.  If you find yourself wending your way up town at all I'll get you a beer!

J86

Oh, and you should have a Sazerac while you are down here.  Go to the Sazerac Bar in the Roosevelt Hotel (on Canal, pretty close to the Astor) for that.

saxonyron

Shit, I didn't know you were still here.  We should grab a beer for sure!  Don't know how to get uptown though.  In fact, not sure what uptown is, since isn't the lake only a few blocks from here? :lol:  The conference is at the hotel where I'm staying, and I knew we were downtown, so I pussied out and didn't get a car.  I always heard this was a walking city anyway, right?  Well, I'm here till Friday, so it would be cool if we could meet up at some point.  :cheers:
