I love living in New Orleans, there is always something to do, and someone to do it with. Our city has a certain feel about it, you either like the feel, or you don't. Most people feel it. I have always lived here, and will never leave ! I am/was hoping you'd bring your show down here, Think about it, we love you ! oxox Thanks for the “shout out” to my hometown.

And if so, you are pretty much an empress yourself. Maybe a Guan Yin? Jon is king, or even a demi-god. And if so, you are pretty much an empress yourself. Maybe a Guan Yin?

Thank you Margaret for taking time once more to sing its praises. I've lived in the Big Easy just under a decade, came here when I was 17. Somehow the city seduces me with an even greater ferocity with each day that passes. It's always good to know I am not the only one who's heart and other girly bits are captured by its sweetness.

I am from Louisiana, not New Orleans, though I feel a specific attachment to the city and have often thought about moving there even though life is so much easier and comfortable in my adopted home, Portland. I think this post gets at a lot of how I feel about the city, all my memories from my many visits there are vivid and emotive. In spite of everything that has happened there (not just Katrina) people fight to stay there and keep the city alive. Things are more or less normal there again, different for sure, but back in a different way. If you have never been there you have to go. It is really one of the few places in the US where you can go and really feel like you're traveling. You are a great writer!

Your ability to think clearly astonishes me some times. Why can't more people see what's right in front of their eyes. Speaking of Jon Stewart, I've been looking around for the clip of your appearance on Jon's old MTV show -- ahh, the latex dress. It isn't on YouTube. Any idea where I could find it? Maybe Jon's got it. I’m always impressed by the way you’ve got your head screwed on straight about stuff like this. Your ability to think clearly astonishes me some times.

I agree with Kyle, go (but read Midnight In the Garden of Good and Evil before you go to get a sense of the atmosphere)! I absolutely fell in love with Savannah. And Jon Stewart, oh! He seems like such a gentleman. I'm glad you had that experience with him. Now you need to go on The Daily Show and tell everyone that story.
