REASONS TO GO TO N’AWLINS IN July!
#1. Because it will be HOT!
Not August Hot, but 71-89F hot. Instead of wearing coats,
you can wear thin T shirts (or get body painted!), instead of looking
at the pool, you can swim in it and work on your tan. Speaking of
hot, did I tell you about the hot couples coming...Oh, wait, that
is reason...
#2. The Attendees
We always get a great crowd at our annual convention and this year
will be the best ever. We put on a great show, with the best decorating,
fantastic bands and entertainment and you should see our party suites...
but it is the fun, sexy, open minded couples that attend, that really
make our event special.
#3. The Hotel
We have moved to a 4 star (maybe 4.5 star) hotel that will be the
best hotel you have ever stayed at for a lifestyle convention. We
loved the pool at the Holiday Inn in Kenner and we loved the location
of the Astor Crowne Plaza, but this hotel, the Royal Sonesta, has
all that and much more. Did I mention the Bourbon St Balcony rooms?
Did I mention the great location? Why not talk more about that in
reason...
#4. Location, Location, Location
We had a great time at our last convention, the only thing that
could have made it better was to be on Bourbon St. Well, we are
back on Bourbon St alright, in fact we are right in the middle of
Bourbon St this year. You couldn’t ask for a better location
to match this fantastic hotel.
#5. No More Hurricanes
Yep, we’re done with the whole hurricane thing. Why worry
about Hurricanes when you can have the event before the storms season
get’s started. Although, there are plenty of Hurricanes still
left at Pat O’ Brien’s. In fact, stop by our booth and
we might just have one for you to try...
#6. Re-Birth
New Orleans has really experienced a Re-Birth and a new Renaissance.
The restaurants are open, the drinks are flowing and the music,
food and culture that made this city great is back better than ever.
There are some changes- Bourbon St is a LOT cleaner now (the new
sanitation contract has made the French Quarter look like Disney-
no kidding!),
#7. Safety
You heard that the crime was out of control in New Orleans. Here
are some facts: In 1994 there were 425 murders in New Orleans. In
2002 there were 257 and during the last 12 months that number dropped
to 161. Then why all the bad press? The press is citing the number
of crimes “per capita” to show that the crime rate is
higher. The truth is, no one knows the actual numbers of people
living in New Orleans, but the greater New Orleans area hasn’t
dropped that much in population, so the current numbers of crimes
has dropped while the reported crimes per person is up. Still don’t
feel safe? You should see how many New Orleans police officers,
State Troopers, FBI Agents, Sheriffs and other law enforcement officers
are patrolling the French Quarter. We feel safer than ever, here
in our home city of New Orleans. If you want to go out and buy crack
in the projects... you might be in for some trouble. If you stay
in the Quarter, we think you’ll be just fine.
#8. School Teachers, Hunters & Football Fans
These are just a few people that had a hard time making our November
convention. This July, you will find so many happy teachers that
can finally make our event (and don’t have to call in sick
from New Orleans!) we might just have to hand out some tests to
make them feel at home.
#9. The Rates
We got rates from $119 for our July dates. In November
the same rooms were $189 per night and for Mardi Gras those rooms
went for $359! Want a room with your own balcony on Bourbon St?
You can for $199 a night. During Mardi Gras the same rooms went
for $1,100 a night. What a deal.
Don’t forget the pool rooms (almost sold out). At $149 per
night, they overlook the most popular area of this year’s
convention, the pool deck. A great place to hang out and meet everyone
during the day.
#10. Because It’s the Right Thing to Do
Some people told us “We don’t feel “right”
going to New Orleans. On the contrary, the best thing you can do
for this great city is to come, book a room, spend some money and
give directly to the people that need tourists more than any other
city in the country.
Don’t donate to a charity that uses half of the donated money
in administration costs. Don’t give to a cause that may never
really help the Gulf Coast. Come put an extra dollar in the hand
of your favorite street musician. Give a big tip to the waitress
or bartender. Buy something silly at the store next door or the
gallery down the street.
This is what New Orleans needs right now and coming to New Orleans
is absolutely the best thing you can do. Of course, we really want
you to come so you can have the most fun at the best convention
ever. Our staff will welcome you with open arms, some Mardi Gras
beads and a free cocktail (hey, this is New Orleans!). We plan on
“Kicking it up a notch” this year as we welcome N’awlins
back to Bourbon St, bigger and better.
Let the Good Times Roll!
