Has anyone had any luck getting registered for Tulane's board? I'm travelling to NO this Thursday and was hoping to get some tips about the city from some locals.

Is that show any good... I love most of HBOs stuff but was never really interested in checking it out.

i've enjoyed the first 2 seasons, but i can see where it might not be everyone's cup of tea. there is a focus on music, and its not as dramatically intense as say the wire or sopranos.

I'm not a local, but I'm married to one who was for many years, and go there often myself with her. I posted my guide to the city with a focus away from the touristy Bourbon St scene last night.

I'm sure you can get tips from a number of Girls Gone Wild videos.

Definitely not as intense as The Wire and Sopranos but few shows are. I think Treme is incredible. The whole timeline of season 1 depicting 3 months post-Katrina is very interesting. The music is OUTSTANDING without question and most of it is real guys being themselves. Jazz musicians and food...how can you go wrong! I personally know Lucia Micarelli, the violinist, on the show and I have a friend who has been coaching Rob Brown the last couple of years on how to appear credible playing trumpet.

Take a stroll down Bourbon St., but don't spend too much time there. One end is pretty seedy, the other end has some decent bars.

Go to Commander's Palace for dinner. But there's a lot of good restaurants.

Just for yucks, have a Hurricane.

You sir, have failed.

Awesome post. Thanks, Ragman.
