I've never been to a Mardi Gras parade

this is always the way we celebrated mardi gras.

are the parades typically just like a Christmas parade? sit in your lawn chair and catch beads?

I'm usually chasing chickens instead of beads.

You're not missing very much.

only chicken gettin chased at mardi gras is popeye's

I much rather the Courir Mardi Gras. I went to church point yesterday and it was slamming. Lots of trashy people but still a good time.

If it’s not raining tonight I know back in the day Mamou had the best street party on Monday night. So many people packed in that little shithole.

Is there anything else that can be done at a parade?

For a lot of people, the parades are just part of it. I said this the other day, but its like LSU football for some people. LSU home games give people a reason to get together with friends & family to eat, drink and have a good time.

For some people it is about going see the designs of the floats, etc, etc.. The parades are art.. Everyone has their own interpretation of what they are.

If Christmas parades have people being crushed under wheels, falling off balconies, and getting assaulted by baws.

This is generally what it's about for me and everyone I know. We have house parties, eat a bunch of food, and the kids try to catch as much junk as possible.

You see friends and neighbors that you don't see often out on the parade route and it's a chance to catch up.

Tomorrow on Bonnabel, we will have the neighbors set up on one side of us, friends on the other side. Behind us will be another group of long time friends that will have 30 or so people that we all know.

After the parade, while waiting for traffic to clear, we will all head to a house for some gumbo and jambalaya.
