Arse's Fatty Rewind™ (Mardi Gras Weekend Part 2)

Happy Mardi Gras!!! The bruises, pain and headaches are real. It was a brutal weekend.

I was slightly hungover Friday at work following Muses. I ran to Twin Peaks and grabbed a frozen mug. Luckily, it was lingerie day too. Our "waitress" was cute and the beer helped out. The burger wasn't bad either.



After work, I ran to my buddy's to post up at Fat Harry's. The neutral ground on Napoleon was too small for us husky boys.



After a few Beams, I grabbed a hot dog for the Sacred Heart girls. It had a nice snap.



I followed that up with a pizza. It was amazingly warm and pretty good.



The crowds were very friendly, and the weather was outstanding. I think there was an OT float in Krewe D'etat.



I'm pretty sure this guy had never been to a parade before.



After polishing of the fifth, the parades ended. I grabbed some cheese fries on the corner. I love cheese fries. I also go the lady to reduce her price to $4!!




We then walked to my friends' to grab some finger foods. The usual chicken fingers and dip put me over the top.





After a good night of sleep, my bro and I took to the streets to pound out 3 miles. There were plenty of Tulane kids straggling all over the place. They need to get their shite together.

After our jog, my bro and I dined on donuts and fritters. We also had some New Castle. My niece demanded that I draw some shite with her. My renderings of the female anatomy may have been inappropriate, but it was good bonding.




From there, I went home to shower and get ready for the day parades. My buddy was having a party on top of his "erection." His bar was pretty nice, but I brought my own Beam.



He also had a nice food spread. The sandwich station had pork, beef and chicken. I went with the rare beef and extra mayo. I also grabbed some of his crawfish pasta and shrimp and grits. Nothing like setting a good base for the day.






I then went atop the erection and watched Iris and Tucks. It brings a tear to my eye to see that Iris still only allows women to parade with them.


After getting tired from the beads, I went in for some sweets. I grabbed a cupcake from Sucre and a half a donut from District. They were both excellent.




After the parades, we ran to the West Bank to grab a king cake from Hi-Do. They had a lot of interesting people on the streets.




One can never forget when it's Valentine's Day in Nola.



We got home around 5. I took a ten minute power nap. We had reservations at Doris Metropolitan at 8. My plan was to headed to the Quarter around 6:30. I started calling United at 6. 100 calls later, I decided to drive at 7. Parking was atrocious. I found a spot on Decatur after searching for an hour.
