We were debating for a long time if we should have hit Mardi Gras this year or not. We didn’t know if the city would have recovered enough to make a visit enjoyable. We decided to take a pass this year simply because we didn’t think there would be a very big crowd going. We just recently talked to a buddy that went and he confirmed our thoughts. He said Mardi Gras was terrible. Apart from not having enough decent hotel rooms, it seems like everyone was in a bad mood.

The bars didn’t have enough staff(you had to wait forever to get served a drink) and perhaps the worst thing was that the big NO didn’t have enough police officers so they had to bring in alot from out of town! These out of towners were ruining the fun for everyone!

These cops didn’t like girls flashing, and if they saw a big crowd gathering they rushed right in to break it up because they thought that there is likely to be a girl showing her boobies in the middle of the crowd. My buddy had a really hard time, in fact he got punched in the face by a copper just because he tried to pet his horse! LOL

After hearing all of his stories I think it was for the best that we just chilled back and recharged our batteries. We will hit Mardi Gras full force in 2007!
