I've lost my accent long ago miss poet but when my father comes to town for a visit? by his departure I can roll vowels with the best of them I lived on Esplanade and Burgundy, did you happen to stroll up there? near the Port Of Call restaurant and bar used to hang with all the artists round Jackson Square ah, the memories....

I'm wondering about a couple of things - What goes on at a writer's conference? What is its purpose?Are there "real" writers there (other than those speaking for a fee)? Almost as hard to imagine as a painter's conference or a sculptor's conference. BTW, these are not smart-ass questions. I am actually curious. The other thing I'm wondering about is why ANY group would book a get-together in New Orleans and then hole up inside with box lunches for a few days. It seems the writers could accomplish their purpose and save a few bucks by meeting in, say, Columbus, Ohio. ??? M
