Lassiez le bon temps roullez.

It was pointed out that feeling depressed and morose about the New Orleans situation is not very... well... New Orleans.

So, I propose that we, who can gather, get together some time weekend and have a toast for New Orleans. What I'm asking is that you bring enough money for a drink for yourself and a drink for New Orleans. This means that I will be collecting money that I will donate to the Red Cross. (You can afford one drink worth of money, right? Like $5-7? More is good, though.)

I want us to have a good time and do something good at the same time. And this isn't to say that if you'd rather not drink that you're not welcome to join. I welcome questions and concerns.

So, let me know which day is best for you and where we should go. Cap Hill is obviously easier for me to get to and I love Barca but if anyone knows of a good bar that we could all get to, that would be cool too.

I so totally wish I could be there. I'll add a couple of drinks for New Orleans to my Red Cross donation, though. That's a great idea.

Thanks!

I just hope I can get people to come.

We'll have to look into our schedule and see. I have no money til Saturday - I can't afford a pack of gum right now, but that changes soon. Its a great idea though.

Great Idea.

Cool. I wish I could go. I however will donate the amount of money that I would have spent in a night of drinking in New Orleans to a disaster relief orinatated chairity. Probably the Salvation Army or the Red Cross.

I love New Orleans and the thought of it being destroyed does not sit well with me. But I think that New Orleans will survive and a year or two from no things will be back to whatever form of "normal" that New Orleans had.
