I spent Halloween weekend in New Orleans. We went to two costume party's. One was at the Republic bar, and was the Anne Rice Vampire ball. The other was at the House of Blues and the theme was Steampunk gothic vampire... lol. They were fun. The French Quarter and Bourbon street were fun. New Orleans is definitely different and has some beautiful old houses and buildings. The streets sucked. So many are one way streets, and no right turns on red. Made for some backed up traffic. The cab drivers are idiots, and no one uses their turn signals. I would not like riding in that place. I-10 west going to the airport was a nightmare. Missed our flight. I just heard tonight, that there was a shooting on Bourbon street Monday night... a couple of people killed and several injured. Pretty wild!
