Hi Harvey:
I suppose technically you could choose to attend just the
convention itself, but this might leave out some interesting and
informative pre and post convention activities.
Well at least in 1997 you don't have far to travel to the
convention and if the New Orleans Transit Commission oops forgot,
you're in the U.S. so it is
The New Orleans Transit Authority offers early enough buses, you
can commute to the convention from home and save hotel charges.
Hopefully the N.O.T.A. runs good and late so you can get home
from late events or parties.
What time do bars in New Orleans close?  Or do they ever?
I thought Quebec across the river from me coud open the bar at 7
a.m.
Nopte.  They have rules.
Got to be 8 a.m. before you can have irish coffee with your grits
and bars must close by 3 a.m. the next morning.
However Quebec has a lot of "late Bars" which just forget to
close at 3 a.m. and close when they want whenever that is.
Here in Ontario, the bars are open 11:30 a.m. to 2 a.m.
I can remember when you couldn't get a drink in Ontario on a
Sunday to save your soul or wet your whistle.
It is within living memory that movies and fairs did not operate
on Sundays here.
How dull eh?
