Mardi Gras

Mardi Gras rules! It’s the season celebrated between 12th Night (Epiphany) and Ash Wednesday. In New Orleans, we celebrate this time with parades, Mardi Gras balls, and miscelllaneous celebration. I grew up loving Mardi Gras, and these days I make a challenge: to catch as many parades as humanly possible. in 2010, I was able to hit 42 parades. For 2011, the goal is 50 parades. I’ll update this page, my foursquare, and twitter with updates as to what parade I’m at and where I’m catching it, so stay tuned. I have a team of folks catching it with me so I’ll update with who was at which parades. Have a happy and Safe Mardi Gras!
