Bulk spices near New Orleans?

[Ka Honu]

Doing my "mental prep" as we speak.  Checklist now includes Royal Sonesta (although my time away from the fairgrounds is not usually "music oriented") and have double underlined "crawfish" and "oysters" (with marginal notation, "fat & juicy").

On site updates not likely.  I spend about 3-5 minutes on the computer every third day or so when I'm off-island (checking for "you need to see this now" emails).  Not having to go online when you've got something better to do is one of the many joys of retirement and I take full advantage.
