That wouldn't be too bad, but if I went it would have to be later, like after dinner.

So someone mentioned getting a pak going. Is anyone still interested in that? If so, which day?

Something that would be really easy would be this:
Friday, December 30, I’m planning on going to the Sugar Bowl parade at 2:30, then taking my kids to the pep rally at the Morial Convention Center. (I know, pep rallies are kinda lame but I’ll have my kids for that and they’ll be imto it. Plus, they serve booze drinks so not as terrible as most pep rallies?) Then after the pep rally, it’s pak time at Urban South?

Urban South is a great brewery in town and it’s a stone’s throw across a convention center parking lot and grass field from the concention center pep rally. I could ditch my kids between the pep rally and the pak and get a couple hours of good boozing in before calling it an earlyish night to save most of my rocket sauce for the game the next morning. www.urbansouth.com

Anyone interested in that? I know not everyone will get into town by then, so I’m open to alternatives. Or no pak at all; I know NOLA is a destination bowl trip and everyone has their own ideas of what they wanna do.

I would be interested. but also meeting up with family

Yeah, specifically in Hall F.

Sidecar is a good recommendo. Both that and Urban South are walkable from Hall F in the convention center, sidecar’s maybe a little closer and more walkable. I’d be down for either, but Sidecar seems like the play because that’s more accessible to where people would be coming from if they didn’t want to go to the pep rally. (Which would be understandable, since there’s so much else to do in NOLA.)

Honestly the game time is a drag because it means an early bedtime for a lot of us on the 30th. Could also be convinced to meet up somewhere after the game, or not at all. If there’a not a critical mass of gEers, I’d probably skip. I only have so much of a budget of kid-free time to spend in a short couple days, and I know I’ll want to blow a lot of that on NYE after the game. If there are a lot of people who are down, though, we could throw down and have the greatest pak since the Houlihan’s days.

Yeah the hall makes a big difference in that place given it stretches a half mile in width. Convention Center site says Hall F which is right at the interstate, about a mile walk from the end of the parade (2 miles from the beginning). Going to have some pissy old cat fans who try and walk to both.

Closer to SB bar spot!!

I had to edit my comments,  I swore it said Hall H and then saw SB comment so looked at it again and corrected it. Still going to be a long haul for those walking cats who also bitch about walking 3 blocks anywhere. I'll probably skip the pep rally unless I'm told otherwise.

I don’t think that’s going to be a problem.

Yeah, on christmas eve I finally bought some tickets in the upper deck at the 50 yard line for $45 each. The ticket costs are minuscule compared to airfare/hotel for a couple of days.

Didn’t realize (though not surprised) the Tide have a losing record vs. the Big 12.

And you won't hear a word about it before, during, or after the game.  SEC, SEC, SEC...  :facepalm:

Ugh, that sucks, Phil Titola. I’m sorry. When are you leaving/how long is the drive? I knew that was gonna happen to some people.

Still hoping to get there in time for the gala on Thursday evening. Driving half way tomorrow. 13 total.

I was holding out hope going to bed last night that they would get most of it figured out today. Sounding like all week to figure out, flights on Thursday already being cancelled too. Still hoping to fly back on the 2nd.

As someone who's made that drive over like 10 times, stay somewhere fun to split up the drive. My brother lives in Monroe, LA so we usually stay there, but we've stayed in Little Rock to split up that drive too. The problem is, the drive back after a 4 day binder. It's the longest drive of your life.

Add me to the most likely driving list.  I don't fly out until Friday early morning.  I will probably make my final decision by tomorrow night.
