Sounds like fun, but I was thinking about the New Orleans one.

I might go down on Saturday to catch some parades. My daughter is a maid in our small town Krewe this yer so that cuts out our New Orleans time. Lot's of fun but no where near the scale of the big towns.

We are! Son is a Page for two courts and Daughter is an Attendant-to-the Queen for one plus our regular rides.
"Lombardi Gras" was yesterday, "Dat Tuesday", and was phenomenal. No wonder it is expected to sleet and snow on Friday.

It's fun but very crowded from what I remember. I was on Bourbon Street celebrating Mardi Gras back in 2000. From what I remember the lines where incredibly long. We had to go inside a Gentlemen's Club (had to pay cover) just to use the bathroom and have a seat. The street stunk because of all the urine and vomit. If you go off of Bourbon Street and/or into the French Quarter it's not as packed. Now having said all that, I still had the time of my life. So go for it! You only live once so get it out of your system while you're still an undergrad. Cheers!

I did DC Mardi Gras, which is a big deal for Louisiana to hob nob with our legislators, about a month ago. It was a lot of fun!

I can't help but think that the text book is The Southern Belle Primer: Why Princess Margaret Will Never be a Kappa Kappa Gamma. And obviously, she studied it well!

Ole Miss has a major in Southern Studies too. It's pretty intense and not one of those "easy" majors. I have met students who come from all over the country to major in Southern Studies. So I'm sure at UVA it is pretty intense too.
