Thanks to the removal of an organ last spring, we were unable to hold our annual crawfish boil. I’ve been really busy preparing for the Alternative Media Expo, so the planning of this year’s boil has unfortunately suffered. We are going to do this thing, even if it’s in May, even if I have my tongue removed. Please let me know what day you prefer we hold the crawfish boil. I do realize that the 25th is a Jazz Fest date, but many people expressed that they were not concerned with this. Additionally, it is simply impossible for me to host it the Sunday after the Expo, so this date is no longer an option. Please only vote if you intend on joining us.
For those new to NOLA Eats and/or our crawfish boil, it’s BYOB, requires RSVP and pre-payment via PayPal. For the last boil, I think it was $10 per person. If you would like to attend, but do not eat crawfish for whatever reason, you can still attend if you bring a dish to share and/or supply your own food. There is a slight possibility that this format will change, but I will be certain to let everyone know.
In the year 2000, if your business had a website, people were impressed. Ten years later, it’s a necessity. When it comes down to it, if I am trying to decide between two well-recommended businesses, but only one has a website, I will most likely patronize the business with the online presence. Why? Because I’m not made of money, to put it bluntly. I want to know that I will be comfortable and that the amenities are to my liking. Being able to see a business’ website before I visit them gives me an idea of what I am in for. What about you? Just for fun, here’s a little poll I threw together.
