Ate a fantastic dinner at GW Fin's last night--went looking for other party goers. No luck.
The Bourbon Hotel (where some are staying) had a smoking bar so we quickly went through and left. Back to our hotel early.
Cafe DuMonde for beignets and coffee today--ran into Charles Vess, Karen Schafer,and Ellen Klages, then Will Shetterly and Emma Bull. Shawna and I went to the french market after to search for the gator skull. No luck. Only those with skin. Ugh. Checked out swamp tours. A bunch of us might go Friday afternoon.
Found two voodoo places--Marie Laveaus' not as good as it used to be --trashy not much variety in dolls. The better one was Authentic Voodoo and I bought a good alligator papa there. Also found hand made voodoo dolls very cheap in the french market...,most of the rest in the french market were made in China -ugh ugh.
Lunch at Acmne: I had seafood gumbo and half a shrimp po'boy. Delicious. S had half a shrimp po'boy too with a side of sausage that was divine (spicy--she let me have a taste).
Tonight party time catered by Green Goddess.
More tomorrow.
