Party on freeks!

Laissez les bons temps rouler!

Hey two way pocky way.

Got to be there for Fat Tuesday in 1981. Great party. 

Pretty sure it was '76 for me.

I think 2/11/86 {~};) Was A fattie Tuesday.. At Hanks place

nasty weather afoot in the bayou...

As a California boy, when I think of Mardi Gras I think of all those Grateful Dead shows over the years.

Even when the band wasn't at their best those shows were always so much fun.

Some of my best GD memories are from those shows.

We went down to our neighborhood Mardi Gras parade last night.  Keeps getting bigger every year and it took close to an hour for the full parade to pass by.  Lots of brass bands, crazy outfits, glowy stuff, colorful characters, and people having a good ole time.
