Sucks. A regular weekend on Bourbon is a great time and party, Mardi Gras is a hassle.
Mardi Gras= 20min to get a drink, and 30 min to find a bathroom(which also the reason why the streets smell like feces and urine). The only way to do it is if you have a balcony.
Sounds like New York :lol:Quote:

I was there last year for Mardi Gras............. It a experiance that you need to experiance once and only once. Most of the women that are there aren't that hot at all. Also, it's so crowded it took a half hour to walk one block.......... We did have a balcony the first night there and that was a lot of fun.
i agree with pheedno, NO is always hoppin, best to go for jazz fest or any time of the year. mardi gra is just a big haasel. but i do recomend seeing it just once.
It is somewhat a hassle. Find your rooms early and luckily LA lets you have open containers on Bourbon. Stock up on cool beads :dg: .Quote:

But most of the Parades happen entirely outside of the Quarter. I spent very little time on Bourbon St. actually. If you go, just accept that its going to take a while to get anywhere.
And stop by at the corner of St. Charles & Foucher near Touro Hospital. My former bros operate a beer truck there, and so there will be a party there everyday for the whole week. :banana: :elephant: Not to mention that most of the major parades go by this spot. Have fun - and don't get arrested! (They will throw you in the wagon and you won't even be booked until MG is over.) Just be smart.
I've had some fun on bourbon street. It's crowded all year...I wouldn't want to be there during mardi gras. But, there are other college towns in LA that have some wicked mardi gras parties also.
peace,

i go every tear but skipping this year. i think im burned out on mardi gras but if its your 1st time you'll have fun.
If you live close, and have any hook ups, try to get a ticket to a krewe ball. That's where the real fun is at!Quote:

Oh yeah, and it's really dangerous! You always here of people getting stabbed or shot or mugged or women raped ON THE STREET.
Anyway, for example on the news they just told about a few people getting hospitalised for gun shot wounds. A fight broke out and someone starting shooting. The people that were shot weren't even involved. :rolleyes: Stupid people in this world.

I'm not disputing that this happened, but I never heard about that before. I've seen fights in the street between drunk assholes, but never anything more during MG.Quote:
