sounds like fun! and i've never been to the mardi gras - worked with a guy that never missed a year and i think always ended up in the street gutter! never understood his inate need to come back black and blue every year! one year both eyes were black - had no idea how he got them!

It's my daughters Senior year and her last year on her high school dance team and the UDA National Dance Championship is that same weekend. C'est la vie......there'll be more Mardi Gras'! I guess she's a little more important than a strand of plastic beads :roll: even though at times I could debate that :P
