Mardi Gras
3/3/00 - 3/9/00
"Everyday like a Mardi Gras,
Everybody party all day,
No work, all play, okay ."
-Will Smith
"I remember the stupid things,
The mood rings,
The bracelets and the beads."
-Third Eye Blind
I'm going to try really hard to tell this story, even though I really don't remember all the events of the week. Some of these stories may get the people involved in trouble, so I'll try not to give away too much. Actually, screw them. I'll tell it all.
All I really remember is checking into the hotel…going down to the bar…it was 3 for 1 happy hour…then checking out of the hotel 5 days later.
It may have been only 5 days in New Orleans, Louisiana, but it seemed like a month. The strangest part is that all the stories people have told me about the things that go on at Mardi Gras, really didn't hold true. It was at least one hundred times stranger and freakier than anyone ever let on. Rather than give a day by day accounting of what happened at the "Gras", I'm just going to write down individual words and phrases either spoken by us, or someone else down there that should tell the story pretty well. At least for those of us that were there, since no one else will get it. Enjoy.
