Except for the partyers, the rest of us are annoyed by this additional excuse to get drunk and act like a fool, and then drive drunk... this time of year (mid Feb to late March) always has the most DUI/DWI arrests along the gulf coast due to Mardis Gras, spring break, St Pats day and the other "drinking" holidays.

Wow; Mardi Gras in New orleans; I lived and played through 8 of them, completly loaded as I was not yet in recovery
I was at one when I made 10 years clean; there are many folks celebrating, digging the parades and music who dont get loaded. This is a primary source of income for a city very hurt by Katrina, As with anything else , you get what you go looking for,I am glad you are not speaking for all those folks, I met many fine people in New Orleans.

Pick me up on your way down. I've never be either. I can be your designated driver cause I don't drink anymore. I won't promise I won't trade all our beads though.

A good portion of the locals....
I lived in the Garden District for 2 years, a couple of years in the quater, then moved to Fat City for a bit and owned a house in Covington. My experience with a good portion of the locals, was they had a wonderful time with Mardi Gras and appreciated the financial wind fall it brought each year. I made 1/2 my annual salary from Sugar Bowl , thorugh Mardi Gras and into Jazz Fest. Mardi Gras. was full of history, the finest marching/funk bands in the country and some major league babes, I really heard little to complain about in New Orleans, which is a bit down the road form Florida via I 10 , last I made the drive. I met folks from All over Louisiana,Alabama,Florida, Texas and Missisippi and they all seemed to love Mardi Gras. |

There is a wondeful PBS documentary on Mardi Gras. Bill Smith the great float builder in New Orleans, brought this up during his interview,that was where I heard it from.

Hey Bama... your wife and I have something in common. I'm from Mobile too. Great city! I lived along the MS gulf coast for a short time too. I love the whole area down there.
