Mardi Gras everywhere outside of NOLA is a joke and pales in comparison...

Despite the "challenges" in NOLA it's still the best Mardi Gras experience anywhere with maybe the exception of Carnival in Rio De Janeiro...which I have never been to but I assume is amazing.

All you other OT baws can stay home and cry about the crowds and parades and people loving it.

I would disagree. Mobile actually is great. Bars open 24/7 with 2 1/2 weeks of huge parades every night. Joe Cain Day is New Orleans on steriods. Plus they started Mardi Gras.

1) New Orleans
2) Mobile


















3) Everywhere else.

So it's either go to NOLA mardi gras or stay home and cry? There's no other option?

Okay...gimme stay home and cry.

You can go to Mamou and do the dumb chicken chase.

So why wouldn't people just visit for Mardi Gras and then GTFO?

I find Spanish Town to be a really fun parade every year.

Obviously


I don't even like New Orleans Mardi Gras though so you can imagine how I feel about the other low rent excuses for parades.

Rio and Venice would like a word...

But I agree...for a good time it is hard to beat. It ain't for the old folks though...my 24 year old son and 3 of his friends are heading down Friday morning and have been pestering the shite out of me to go with them so I can foot the bill...they won't admit that last part but we all know why they want me to go. I am waaaaayyyyy too old to go.

done nola many times - lived there for quite a while - I'll take going back to my rural hometown and hanging out with old friends for several days in a tiny town that shuts down except bars, restaurants, and street concerts then capping it off with a courir every time

Chasing chickens is lame compared to dodging bullets
