Yep, that crowd would be lucky to be like that the weekend BEFORE MG.
Anyway, I'll let you know, cause it is the week of my annual pilgramage back home for the Luling Parade.
I never end up taking Mon and Tue off, but returning home for the MG weekend really helps me
take the edge off the rest of the year and tolerate being an expatriate in a town fool of hoodlums.
And I learned decades ago, Bourbon St. is fine 350 days a year, but it's an idiot that ventures down
in the weeks before Mardi Gras. I had a girlfriend from Denton TX in town with me on the weekend before MG
and she said she wanted to go to the FQ. I begged her not to make me do it, and standing in line for PatO's
she was lifted off her feet by the crush. She panicked and wanted to go. In te next second a guy tried to
cut in line ahead of us and a guy hit him so hard across the back of the head, he fell face first and hit the
pavement, splitting his skull wide open. Never again.
