Just one? #

Why limit it to one night? Most of us will be there for multiple days/nights. I'm not suggesting an "I Love You, Man" scenario where we become the only people we hang out with, but surely we can do more than just one night!

Absolutely #

Joe, Paul and I were talking about a "tweet up" one night. My group will be in town from 12/31-1/4, so there will be many grenades had. The more, the merrier!


Night before is good... #

Ready for some hand grenades like whoa!

Photographing for the CT will have its perks. I'll be at the media hotel, Marriott at the Convention Center.


I've been to New Orleans many #

I've been to New Orleans many many times, so if anybody has questions or needs suggestions just let me know and I can probably help out. I'm not 100% sure yet if I'm going to the game, but would love to meet up if I do.

NOLA #

I'm coming down Jan 1st through 4th. I'm thinking the night of the 2nd is perfect. Staying at the Doubletree on Canal, anyone else staying there?


Looking forward to it #

will be there 1/1-1/4, hotel right on bourbon. i'd assume you can find us there, or in harrah's most any night. tweet-up is easiest, so keep your status' updated (i might even enable location tags for those 4 days, even though they suck)

SEE YA IN NAWLINS

I'm in #

I'll be in town the 31st-the 4th. I'm staying uptown at a friends house while she's out of the country, but getting to Bourbon isn't a problem at all. I've never been so I don't have any suggestions, but where it is I'll be there.

New Year's Eve Meetup? #

Woo ... I'm not the only one who's going to be there for New Year's Eve. (I'm going from 12/31 until 1/5.)

Sounds like there should be Hokie meet-up to ring in the 2012.

I yearn for a special teams TD.

I'M GOING TO THE SUGAR BOWL!!!!!! #

After weeks of convincing myself that I couldn't afford it and that my boss wouldn't let me take off, a Hannukkah miracle happened on Wednesday! I casually mentioned something about the game to my boss, and he not only told me that it would be no problem for me to take off, but actually encouraged me to go. I'll be staying with a friend uptown, so don't know how much I'll make it down to the quarter, but I'm totally down for a meetup.

On a somewhat related note, what are everybody's plans for tailgating on gameday. I've been to the two previous Sugar Bowls and it seemed like everybody just partied on Bourbon St. and then walked up to the Dome at game time. I'll probably be doing the same thing this year, but was just wondering if anybody knew if there was any sort of actual organized activity going on at the Dome parking lots. I assume there will be some sort of "fan fest" type event, but is that worth checking out?

One last question, because I don't see any other active topics to post this in, at this point does it matter if I buy tickets through the school or not? I'll gladly buy directly from VT, but there are some really really cheap tix on stubhub right now.

GEAUX HOKIES!!!!!

Tickets #

Do what's best for your wallet. I got a better deal on Flight + Hotel than I expected so I snatched it up on Tuesday. I did buy my tix from the school from HokieTix but at this point with the allotment slowing to a halt anyone going last minute will have high enough travel expenses. No need to feel bad about saving on tix to spend more on ALL THE BOURBON.
