You're out of luck on this one, I'm afraid.  Crawfish season fizzles out in the spring, and they won't be back until January-February.  There are crawfish farms in southern LA, but those mudbugs go out frozed as a rule.  Try boiled shrimp if you're going to be hear in the summer. They're not as tasty as crawfish, but the seasonings are the same for both, so you'll get some idea of what boiled crawfish are like.
