And i am pumped. This will be my first Mardi Gras in New Orleans ever. My teammates told me earlier that even though i dont care about wearing beads around my neck, the only thing i will care about during the parades is getting the people on the floats to throw stuff at me.

After experiencing my first parade last night (even if it was just showing up for the last float on the last corner), i’m thinking they may be right.

Though my enthusiasm was subdued (i didnt have a warm-up) i screamed and shouted for beads and got a whole bunch.

Here’s the evidence:

Mardi Gras is uponĀ us!
