New Orleans is split among 4 graticules NW (30,-90) NE (30,-89) SW (29,-90) SE (29,-89). Because all 4 graticules contain large amounts of water (Lake Pontchartrain and the Gulf of Mexico), whenever it comes time to choose a location suitable for meeting, the closest to New Orleans that is not located in a body of water should be chosen.

- DemosDemon will try to make most of them over the summer, if not the Baton Rouge or Lafayette graticules.
- Dziban probably won't bother due to the marshy characteristics of the region and the high price of gasoline. You go ahead, though.
- mtastic thinks this is a cool idea and might show up to a meetup if it happens to be within city limits.
- Jorge would love to go to one of the locations provided by one of the 4 graticules, provided they're not in the backwater swamp.
- Not_Dice will keep his eye on the Saturday graticules for any interesting locations.
- Txoof
- anaraug never knows if he'll show up or not.
- Atreides will try to make any of them that aren't in water, provided they are in the northeastern section.
