The rather tame version of Mardi Gras. I think its funny that everyone around here tries to go to other places for Mardi Gras, largely I don't understand. Most other places are small podunk towns that just block off like three blocks and let you get drunk in the middle of it. And everyone drives an hour to do it with the same people you just stay here and do it with.
But nonetheless, as usual, Lake Charles Mardi Gras was pretty great, I had to work til about 10, we drove down the parade route and there was a good amount of poeple there at about 7 in the morning.
