re: Endymion vip fail

Don’t spill anything on your rented tux.

Absolutely.

People are at the Endymion Extravaganza yet posting on TD?

Go talk to Arthur Hardy or Hootie and the Blowfish

You failed to read the the fine print.

VIP= very insignificant peon.

Where's it at if not at the dome? And who's the headliner?

I have never been to Endymion which is why I am asking this.

The few different mardi gras balls I have attended, you needed to get a ticket from a member. The members pay dues that include their tickets then the only way for non members to attend is to be invited.

Each member has "a table", it varies from ball to ball, but its either one or two tables that have food and drinks and anyone who drinks something specific that the member doesn't provide, they usually bring it to the member the day of so that it can be set up or whatever.

So for Endymion, anyone who buys a ticket can attend? And then you have to wait in line for drinks like its halftime?

I really was having a text conversation with someone who went to a tableau tonight. Some of those people who are members of balls are fricking moon kiters and the amount of self worth they give themselves for being a member is hilarious.

In this particular ball, at the Tableau the emcee, like every year, trashes on other ball krewes that are considered the "lesser" balls. Its like "Dude.. every single person involved in the Tableau and the people who are king and queen pay to be it. They don't do anything to earn that title, they are put on waiting list and know 5-7 years in advance, but they have to keep it a secret, when their year comes up, they pay around $150k which includes cost of costumes, etc, and they get to dress and say they are king and queen and beyond the people in your little club, no one gives a single frick".

Look, I understand it is nice to dress formal and go to a party with a good band. Good food, friends and people you don't see on a regular basis, but don't act like this makes you better... Because you are not.. And those who do, people actually laugh at them because of it. But hey... whatever people have to do to make themselves feel important. Good for them.

Then don’t pay or go to suck arse Mardi Gras events.
