Practical.

Where to stay

Two clusters. Uptown along St Charles, near where Saturday happens: The Columns and The Chloe. Lower Garden District, walkable and a little cheaper: Hotel Saint Vincent, Henry Howard, Creole Gardens.

Book before mid September. The Saints play at home that Sunday and rates firm up.

Getting around

The St Charles streetcar runs the length of where most of Saturday happens. Rideshare is easy. Do not plan on parking.

What to wear

To confirm with the family before publishing. Working draft: comfortable shoes above everything. Second line convention leans toward color rather than black.

Weather

Early November is usually mild. Mid 70s in the day, cooler after dark. Sunset is around 5:10pm, so the daytime parts really are daytime.

Can you
come?

This is the one thing we ask you to do. The headcount decides the venue, the food, and the size of the band.
