| We're good to go for Saturday at 1, worldwide toast at 2, special celebrity guest appearance guaranteed. http://www.fadoirishpub.com/fado_pub_main.php?city=washington Fadó is located at the corner of 7th and H at the edge of Chinatown just one block from the MCI Center and just down from the Convention Center. If you are taking the train we are at the Chinatown and Gallery Place Metro stop; use the Chinatowm exit. **** The weathercritters are calling for snow but oh well. I'm drinking anyway. if you plan to drive in, I'd recommend parking in a garage to keep your car out of the weather. *** See you Saturday. If you've already rsvp'd, great; I'd like to know you're coming if you haven't told me already. |

| #12 CC's Coffee is sort-of Louisiana's home grown competitor to Starbuck's. As for restaurants, I'm not familiar with New Orleans any more these days. (I ate in a nice hamburger place near Touro about ten years back, but I can't remember the name, and it might not be there... you can find decent places to eat just walking around, but just walking around carries a recommendation of a kevlar jacket with spectra-shield stab guards...) |

| #4 Worldwide Toast at 2pm Eastern? That's 5 hours behind GMT... 9am in the UK. Excellent! Am at a Tsunami relief fundraising bash on Friday evening. It's possible I might still be imbibing then... |
