At the same time, there's lots of other things to do besides running, so feel free to list an activity. I've never been to NO before, so I don't know if any of the vendors listed are any good or not:
Swimming in the morning
I (bdelacretaz@) think the conference hotel has a swimming pool, if that's the case I'll probably go for a swim early in the morning (unless I join Grant for running). Drop me a line if you're interested.
Biking

Music
I (bdelacretaz@) would love to experience the local music firsthand, and if possible play (drums) if there are any open jam sessions happening.
Thinking of going to Tiptina's (http://www.tipitinas.com/calendar.asp?id=200811) for the Cajun Fais Do Do on Sunday Nov 2nd at 5:30PM, unless someone has a better recommendation. Drop me a line if you want to join!
