I remember Mardi Gras 96..I was standing against a wall completely overwhelmed with what I saw..when a beautiful woman on a balcony across the street started to yell at me to get my attention...she got my attention...said some very nice things to me then gave me a set of red beads..... I'll remember that forever...if you're out there...thanx..!! Mardi Gras was the wildest thing I have ever seen.... the most fun I've had in years...
