re: First Mardi Gras

The parades are boring and not worth watching. Spend your time in the French quarter with the real party people. White people in the hotel are your best bet for drugs. Don’t trust a local they don’t have shite.

There are a surprising number of bathrooms on bourbon. Collect as many good beads as you can to exchange for tit flashes. If you think the beads are subpar throw em on the ground; frick it someone else’s problem.

Eat a solid breakfast. You will need it. Search eventbrite for concerts over the weekend.
