Hey, all, I know I've sort of been absent from the boards for a while. I've started preparing for my preliminary exams, and I've got to read an average of a book per day while I get ready. So I have little time to do more than visit once a day for Saints news. I'm sure you've all missed me desperately.
Anyway, I'm coming to New Orleans the last weekend of March. The Brazilian Studies Association is having their once-every-year-and-a-half conference at Tulane, and I'm presenting a paper. I'll be restricted to downtown, the French Quarter, and the Tulane area, and I'm fairly familiar with restaurants and bars in that area. I did have questions about hotels, though. I know most of you who live in New Orleans won't know that much about hotels, but I was wondering if any other past visitors had recommendations. Remember that I'm a poor graduate student. Looking for something downtown or in the Quarter, less than $100 per night. Any suggestions?
Also, is the St. Charles trolley running all the way to Tulane again? I know it was being repaired and renovated after Katrina shut it down, but I am not sure if I can use it to get to Tulane each morning for the conference.
