Fat Tuesday/Mardi Gras day is when you should be at home versus on the route.


The quarter is a residential neighborhood. It’s not all out of towners and part timers yet…

Doesn’t matriculate mean to go to college?

Rex is overrated as a parade also.
I don’t think many people rate it highly

Rex isn’t much better - bunch of geriatric dudes barley staying awake.

It’s obvious you haven’t been to Rex in 2 decades. They’ve been getting younger for at least that long. Maybe it’s the barley keeping them young.

Mardi Gras is trashy.


When I was a kid it was a good, clean family function.

Or, parade after Rex (you can get rid of the trucks, they are dying out quickly).


This would be a net positive for society.

I’m betting average age is mid-50s. Think Hermes but just a little older.

If you've ever caught Zulu in the rain where the crowds are thin, you'll see how racist the Zulu riders are by who they throw beads to.
I won't be back to that parade.

I noticed that many of Rhett their floats were in other parades. Just modified for Zulu usually adding some Africans.

Aw you don't like catching tossed out stuffed animals and street beads?
Where else can you see 100+ tractor trailers pull homemade trailers full of people with used Mardi gras throws, while laying on the air horns?
