I'll be through NOLA the middle of November, if anyone is around. I plan to get into the flooded Six Flags by any means necessary. If that's a terrible idea, tell me now.

don't believe anyone that says there isn't awesome shit to see there. i didn't go (when it was first abandoned) cause a friend said it wasn't worth the trip, then folks started publishing all these pics and it's fucking way interesting at the least, and epic at the most, so i regret not going.

It certainly peaks my interest, I just imagined it's fairly well guarded. It's worth a stakeout.

from everyone i talked to it's not that bad. sure, there's security, but as long as you keep a low profile they won't notice you. if i had to guess, it's probably a 7/10 on the difficulty scale.

Hey there! I am in nola too working voodoo fest until about the 3rd of november then heading to orlando for another fest from about the 4th to 10th. Ill shoot you a message!

Some cool places to check out that I have frequented thus far are.
-Fair Grinds (where im at now/coffee shop with wifi in mid city)
-Harrys corner (dive bar with cheap drinks in French quarter)
-Winn Dixie (grocery store, good place to get dry goods/food that will last for a good price or beer; Mid-city)
theres a lot of cool stuff in french quarter and obviously its a good place to busk, but its expensive; to squatter standards so I try to do most of my spending in mid city or farther out of the CBD.
