I guess I'm going to go. I've done it so many times, its really more of a hassle now. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Mardi Gras, but when you live accross the lake, it becomes a mega hassle to fight the Causeway traffic to get to the good parades.
I was a maid in a local Krewe when I was 15. Was really awesome, although I didn't like riding on the float. Made me wanna yak from the constant motion
But its a great thing, overall. I love being a native New Orleanian
