Mardi Gras 2009

Anyone from GC down in New Orleans this year? Tonight is the Proteus parade and rumor has it that float #7 (right side) would be likely to respond to anyone IDing themselves as a GC member. Tomorrow during the Rex parade float #13 (left side) would be a good bet.

I wish! We're having a date party though tomorrow night for the occasion... The giant stock pot of jambalaya is in the oven right now, and we made four king cakes on Saturday. I'm Cajun cooked out.

I had the opportunity to meet dekeguy a few years ago when I was in town for Mardi Gras, but unfortunately, it didn't happen. I don't remember much of my two weeks there, all I can remember is that I had the greatest time ever. The Krewe of Endymion ball was UNBELIEVABLE.

It was the last Mardi Gras before Katrina hit.

That sounds awesome, wish I was down there. I went in 2002 with a group of people (including KSigRC), and it was an amazing time. One of our buddies is from New Orleans, and his house was right in the middle of everything.

I haven't been since Katrina. This thread makes me want to go again.

I can imagine a group of people yelling "Greekchat! Greekchat!" LOL (me being one of them)

It wouldn't be hard. Hold up a sign that you're on GC, shout out that you're on GC...there are a number of ways.

Flash him and GC painted on your boobs would probably be most effective.

It's great. I was there in December for a childhood friend's wedding, and I had a blast. I needed to leave because I was having too much fun.

New Orleans is where we went for our honeymoon. Perfect for a honeymoon!

Wish I was there! But have fun! A family friend was queen of Mystery this past weekend. I had a great time a couple of weeks ago at Athenians, which turned 100 this year. Gotta love Carnival Season in New Orleans!

I was going to bake a king cake this year but I forgot.

I want to go back down next year. I haven't been down in 10 years, I need to visit.
