Well, apparently, you won't have a hard time finding things to do. There was an article I just saw about how the folks from LSU are having a great time there already.
How is it that LSU gets to play a bowl game right in their own back yard? Wasn't the BCS supposed to stop that kind of thing?
Anyway, if you're looking for some other places to go besides Bourbon Street, check out Decatur Street. There's a Coyote Ugly there which was a lot of fun, and a Hooters, and a microbrewery. I think Margaritaville is also there but I don't remember.
