[Bobcat10]

Watching ACL right now (recorded last night 4am) with my 4yr old.

 

[JZilla]

Downloading a DVD from dimeadozen now. The guy brags about how quickly he got the torrent up, but his connection sucks balls so I'll be lucky if I have this one today.

Hoping someone will release an XVID at another site, if that happens I can share it here.

My understanding is you can watch it at PBS website if you're really hard up.

 

[JZilla]

XVID avi. ~560 MB. Should be decent quality.

Been on a crazy "Immortality" kick recently

Couldn't sleep last night, listened to every version on my iPod (about 15 or so) in a row

Just a sick song

Amazing vibe, great lyrics, awesome Mike solos

Looking into rooms now. Is there any interest in me checking into group rate? I've got some folks that work in corporate at hilton and another major chain. They've hooked me up in the past and could likely score 3-4 rooms at a employee rate. If there's no interest then no worries, just wanted to throw it out there.

Obviously, I'm here to answer any questions. I know [icon] is pretty familiar with NOLA, but for the others, I recommend staying in one of the major hotel chains in the french quarter/CBD area. There will be plenty of public transport to get you to and from the fest. Any other questions, fire away.

 

[Tremendous Upside]

can't hurt to find out what a group rate would be

 

[Tiger Fan]

quick search, and decent hotel rooms are $200 minimum..

I've run into some semi sketchy places when you stay at off-brand or out of the way places. I'll check into rates this week and see what I can pull together. Worst case everyone's back where they started. Best case: we lock down some solid 3 to 4 star rooms for a very good price (buddy got a group of us 75% off on 5 rooms for a cross country trip this summer).

Hotwire looking at a 3-star in Quarter for $99/night but it's a "boutique" hotel. I've stayed in one of those before and was very underwhelmed. (though i'm sure it's a case-by-case thing).

 

[Tiger Fan]

this place is absolutely no frills....but the location isn't that bad....can still walk to the french quarter....and it's $80/night

Might be a good place to book as backup (as long as you can cancel)

yeah, technically you can still be in the quarter and be in a sketchy area. B/c there will be so many tourists there, it probably won't be bad....but you just never know

good suggestion TFseems like a solid fall back if cancelable

Gonna call em tomorrow

Off to bed now, but this is pretty awesome

I love traveling for PJ

Never been to NOLA either

 

[ConstruxBoy]

You guys should make a stop at Dante's and have Tipsy hook you up.

Great suggestion TF. Agreed that location is solid (then again you know WAY more about this city than I do )Booked Thur>Sun with a Queen Non-Smoking.

Your Travelocity Trip ID is: 3934 9805 XXXX

We have charged your credit card $268.14.

Confirmed they ARE 100% cancelable up to 24hrs before the reservation.

Putting calls in with my 2 "hookups" for rooms today and will let you guys know what I can dig up. I'll be shooting for clean and cheap.

Hotel rooms or hookers?

 

[Big Blue Wrecking Crew]

Still looking for work, but would love to come down for this. Will track the thread and update as warranted. If reservations for the hotel are definitely cancellable (sp?), may jump on that.

How do tix usually work for this? Any idea if 10C tix will be available?

I doubt there will be 10C tixJust general festival tixapparently you can get either a weekend pass for like $120 or a daily pass for $40 that you can use for any of the daysFrom what I have read, they never"sell out", and you can actually buy tix day off at the site

Ditto. Never met any of you but would like to come down for this. I'll track the thread for hotel ideas. And I'd love to see Tipsy.

Alright one guy said they only have one corporate hotels except in Riverside and he could only get 2 rooms max. My other buddy chimed in with:

Doubletree Hotel New Orleans300 Canal StreetNew Orleans, Louisiana, USA, 701301-504-581-13000.7 miles from city center187.78 USD 1 QUEEN BED-NONSMOKINGEmbassy Suites New Orleans - Convention Center315 Julia StreetNew Orleans, Louisiana, USA, 701301-504-525-19930.8 miles from city center 195.98 USD 2 ROOM ACCESSIBLE SUITE-2 DBL BEDS-NONSMOKINGHampton Inn & Suites New Orleans-Convention Center1201 Convention Center Blvd.New Orleans, Louisiana, USA, 701301-504-566-99901.19 miles from city center 215.20 USD 2 DOUBLE BEDS NONSMOKINGHampton Inn New Orleans (St. Charles Ave.)3626 St. Charles Ave.New Orleans, Louisiana, USA, 701151-504-899-99902.19 miles from city center 159.20 USD 1 KING 1BDRM SUITE W/ WHIRLPOOL AVENUEVW SMOK

The doubletree looks to be the closest by a longshot (about 3 blocks up canal.. not a bad spot but not much closer if at all than the hotel TF linked to. I imagine it's going to be considerably cleaner/nicer but you're looking at double the price. Incidentally their "internet best rate" is $230/night at that doubletree so my buddy's deal is at least knocking 50/night off the price.

 

[ConstruxBoy]

I'd love to come down for this but have no interested people I know IRL. Would it be weird to come solo and meet up with you guys?
