Spanish Town Mardi Gras 2007: The high was in the 60s and the champagne was gone by noon. Contessa wasn’t the only person dressed in bright pink, but she was by far the hottest. The most heavily laden with beads, too, even if the throws were a little stingier this year. The long weekend was studded with bright-blazing stars like Gorjus, Conversely, Jaysus and Jaxxie Glam, Ms. D, Dave Ashes and E. It was the sort of weekend where the least fun thing we did was raid the 50-cent boxes at the comics store. It was the sort of weekend where you realize you’ve eaten and drunk so much that fasting is less a religious commitment and more a matter of simple convenience. It was the sort of weekend that reminds you why you never want to move.
Unless you live somewhere else. And then it reminds you that you want to move here.
Casa de Fury is officially in Mardi Gras Recovery Mode until Monday. Have a swell weekend.
Everything he says is true; particularly the moving part.
That Jeff Smith Captain Marvel was pretty boss! Conversely, did you like the SMAX?
I had a great time until Jaysus and I almost got into a fight with the clerks in Kentwood who wouldn’t let us buy any daquiris.
Spanish Town made N.O. Mardi Gras look tired.
!!
We can’t wait for next year
Casa de Kamikaze is in recovery mode as well. For those considering a move to the party state, know that there’s a Mardi Gras parade for every day for like a week prior to Mardi Gras. I myself hit Church Point and New Roads as well. And now I am making a Mardi Gras bead curtain.
I miss Louisiana. And the Prof and Contessa.
Not to threadjack, but did you see that the Mountain Goats have tour dates in Alaska?
Woo woo… That was a fun one! I was even functional on Sunday. Hate I missed fire sittin’ and whiskey sippin’, though. Next year, next year…
AH SMELL LIKE A FIRE
I think by that point in the night I was basic untenable. Not only as an abstract concept, but also as a person.
Ah, but Philadelphians pity you on New Years Day when they get to go to the Mummer’s Parade
