I actually am press, as it happens.

Los Angeles makes more sense to me because the weather is pretty good year round or they could try Orlando or Miami. I personally think Phoenix area is perfect because as long as they don't have Toy Fair from May to September or August Phoenix area is fine and it is sort of west coast. Or they could do this in Vegas. Basically same thing. Or Reno. Definitely some options other than New York because of weather.

Maybe they just confused Los Angeles with Louisiana?
Ill show myself out
they finally realized no one would show up to N.O.
it was a really weird idea
someone just wanted to visit New Orleans during Mardi Gras & wanted to write it off as a business expense
Any word on if it's moving back to feb?
The Gumbo Illuminati blocked the deal. I'm on to them
