re: Anyone ride a float in a Shreveport parade?

I got the opportunity to ride in Gemini last year and the one thing I learned (which probably should have been common sense) is that you'll never have enough. I'm not sure how many beads are in whatever package you're looking to get, but I went through probably 800-1000 beads, not counting all the other fun things. I'd definitely go to Centaur and Gemini parades and gather as many of their beads as you possible can, cut down on your cost that way. Highland is an amazing parade to watch, I've never ridden in it, but I imagine the rules are more relaxed than Gemini...hell people throw hot dogs at Highland.
I guess my advice is to not blow your bead load at the beginning of the parade, make sure you ration your stuff. And don't forget to pause every once in a while and look around, it's an amazing experience.

Thanks for the advice. I live right around the block from the Highlands route. My wife got us a last minute float. I'm going to be driving. But it will be a first for our family not being in the crowd.
What's the best place for getting beads and other trinkets?
