Write out a will first.



On a serious note, tip your bartender 25 cents and you will be the king of the bar compared to the other patrons.


Happy essence fest..... dumbass

You can see what kind of stupid answers you will get here

All of the locals that can afford it leave town for the 4th weekend, if that tells you anything.

Or seeing any tittys at Hustler club or Penthouse.

I've been to NOLA during Essence plenty of times.
It's MUCH safer than the Bayou Classic weekend.
If you go on Bourbon, stay clear of the Canal Street end, and party closer to the gay end of Bourbon.
If you watch fireworks, watch them near Jax Brewery or near Jackson Square.
Avoid going near the Morial Convention Center.

Most Essence Fest attendees are from out of town.
I've NEVER had a problem while in the Quarter during Essence.

Bayou Classic - bunch of Lil' Wayne clones with dreadlocks

Essence Fest - bunch of Jesse Jackson clones wearing khakis
