Lafayette has Mardi Gras? I know about Mamou and some of the cajun Mardi Gras celebrations but didn't think Lafayette did much more than a few parades.

True. It really isn't appreciated fully until you actually ride once. That turn onto Orleans ave. and entering the dome will change a mans life

Spanish town is a lot of fun and you don't have to worry about being shot/stabbed/robbed

This thread is incredibly elitist. It's just another excuse for you to put down other people to make you feel better about yourself.
When I say elitist I'm referring to your pretentious judgmental views and all that stuff.

I never get the yearly Mardi gra bashers. I get if you don't like it, it's not for everyone, but why go out of your way to bash it? It's such a pretentious act.

Our mardi gras may not be even close to the same, but I assure you, North LA likes to get drunk

I'm not a big fan of Mardi Gras, but I'm not knocking everyone who does. Yes you came here to express your opinion on a subject, and I'm here to express my disagreement with your opinion. I'm not sure why there is confusion.

When you're 25, its going to be a time that your friends come back from around the country.

It's a week long football tailgate.

Its better at 25 than 18

Riding in Endymion is the shite

one of my technicians at the pharmacy i used to work at wanted me to ride with them.... he is all about Endymion, riding in it, the ball, etc... and like i said, Mardi Gras ain't my bag, so i had to politely decline each and every time he brought it up....

to hear him describe it, i'm sure it would be fun the first time, but life changing, i dunno... but hey, whatever....
