Rate the different Mardi Gras'

New orleans is obviously the best Mardi gras hands down. No question.

I actually broke up with a hottie that was in the air reserve and a senior at USA in mobile over Mobile having such a shite Mardi Gras. I lived with her and lived in the heart of the parade scene on Government st(I think) and I swear the big Sat before fat tue they had 2 parades rolling and it was supposed to be this big throw down. By 8pm that evening all the bars in the most popping area where the parades passed were completely empty. The lamest shite I've ever experienced and I'll never let the shite state of Alabama live that down. I was sooo pissed she made me miss my favorite holiday (and MG has always been my fav holiday, I've always said it) So I don't want to hear all that shite about how the first MG was started in Mobile and all that yada yada bullshite. Baton Rouge MG is toilet water and it still blows Mobile's MG out of the water.

Rode in Spanish town one year, and while it was decent, I probably would decline an offer again even with all the throws being free. Just didn't even get the feel of MG.

I heard Lafayette is pretty weak but you would expect they would have a little tradition built up and do it alright. I mean there is a lot of new money and hotties in the area so the debutantes should be legit. But I've never experienced it. I'd give Laffy a shot if I were invited to revel there. (Holla CPATiger)

Da Parish does a decent parade or two but they just don't have that many and the people just don't seem too interested. I guess most in the area that are into it are involved in nola.

I could only imagin Shreveport :paulallen: I doubt I'd even waste my time with one.

Mamou and Eunice are both unique, but I think are a bit blown out of proportion and most definitely not for everyone. Probably could go without even calling them Mardi gras parades since they aren't what most would consider one.

But I'd put Houma as the 2nd best Mardi Gras in the States. They know what they are doing. Very Bery underrated. They start early in the season and roll a shite ton of parades that are all pretty good. Also has a decent tradition considering of coronations and debutant balls.

Metairie is okay as well. More family friendly. I consider that nola lite. Still has a little history which is no doubt a factor when it comes to Mardi gras' right.

How would yall rank the Different Mardi gras'?
