I was just wondering if anyone else on my beloved InfoRoo was planning to be at Mardi Gras this year?? I'm not actually expecting to SEE anyone simply because it's an even bigger and more out of control party than even 'Roo is, but it would be fun to know there are other familiar peeps in the crowd around me!
(and yes I will be rocking an InfoRoo shirt for at least one day this weekend...so if you are there, keep an eye out)

Ya'll are SOOO much more brave than me...I KEEP getting invited...have had relatives and friends invite me more times than I can count and have NEVER gone... My ex's godmother kept INSISTING that we come and BRING THE KIDS!! She made costumes for ALL of her bazillion grandkids and they always rented hotel rooms on the parade routes and they all dressed up and made a weekend out of it and partied and made it a total family reunion...I just could never bring myself to throw my babies into that total madness.... And I still don't know that I could really enjoy it...I LOVE chaos and a really good party but I have heard SOOO many stories from my friends...people down there take their Mardis Gras VERY VERY seriously...and if you DON'T know what you are doing and play by the unwritten "rules"...well..it can get REALLY nasty quick!

Totally NOT the case. There is of course the drunken madness, but there is definitely a family atmosphere as well. Down here everyone grows up going to Mardi Gras since we were little.
There are family spots on the routes and then there are the party spots. Certain parades can get crazy (most notably Endymion), and you wouldn't want to bring your kids through the quarter necessarily, but there is tons of family fun to be had down here.
And plus there's always Metairie. It's like Mardi Gras Lite. It's for us suburban folk.
My girls and myself are going to MARDI GRAS... It will be my first time, so I hope it doesn't hurt me to bad.
It's good practice...Bonnaroo will seem like nothing if you can survive Mardi.
I'd like to argue with that; Mardi Gras is basically the party of Bonnaroo smashed into separate ten-hour segments. You get there, you drink as much as you can, and stand for that long. Last year, i spent Mardi Gras day and the previous three days on the corner of St. Charles and Amelia in uptown. Some of my friends brought a couch and put it infront of the sidewalk. It was super nice actually, nothing like roo. Really drunk, and no walking. There was a goddamn COUCH for me to sprawl out on!
This picture captures the essence of what i failed at describing ;D I'm furthest to the right on the couch. Keep in mind this was a year ago, i don't look like i'm 14 anymore.
We have a bunch of parades in my city. 2 big ones and them some smaller ones. One of the smaller ones is the Krewe of Highland and it is the mnost fun. I'll go to that one this year. They have a float shaped as a hotdog and they throw hotdogs wrapped in tin foil instead of beads. Its awesome.
I'm new to this area, so I'm not sure. I know last week's parade started around 6 or 7, so I'd imagine sometime around then. And as for sunday, I have to pick my mom up from the airport, so that one is out of the question
This word also has a underground meaning once you break it down. Let’s take “Bonn” for example and it actually turns into the word “Bone”. We all know gays use this word to describe the action of when they are fecal fisting their Cuban cabana boy at their sex bath house parties. Now let’s look at Roo, “Roo” is short for “Kangaroo”.So put the full true message together and you get“Bone a Kangaroo
