Mardi Gras rules! It’s the season celebrated between 12th Night (Epiphany) and Ash Wednesday. In New Orleans, we celebrate this time with parades, Mardi Gras balls, and miscelllaneous celebration. I grew up loving Mardi Gras, and these days I make a challenge: to catch as many parades as humanly possible. In 2010, I was able to hit 42 parades. For 2011, I hit 40 parades. In 2012 I caught 36 parades. In 2013, I hit 38 parades. Let’s see how many I hit in 2014.
I’ll update this page, my foursquare, and twitter with updates as to what parade I’m at and where I’m catching it, so stay tuned. I have a team of folks catching it with me so I’ll update with who was at which parades. Have a happy and Safe Mardi Gras!
Parades caught so far:

Here’s a podcast I did with one of my compatriots in Mardi Gras expertise, Krazy. We hope to do more of these as time goes on.
