When we turned our road trip towards New Orleans this weekend, we were looking forward to scenes of drinking in the hotel corridors and fornication in the lifts (last time we went, we stayed at the Holiday Inn, see).

But this time we were hitting up the Ritz-Carlton, and were confronted by a crew of wildly excited, under 13-year-olds wearing identical Jonas Brothers-themed uniforms. Turns out, we decided to hit town the same night as the JoBros, who were playing on Saturday. Not only were they in town, but their tour bus had just been spotted outside the hotel, making the kiddies think they must be shacked up here. ]]> londontown 2009-08-17T16:28:02-05:00 29.9548510 -90.071132 http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/8/12/144226/156 <![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/1425/jobro_palomar.jpg" class="top"><p> And here we thought the <a href=""><b>Hotel Palomar Westwood</b></a> was only for business travelers and proud parents of nearby UCLA students!
