Mardi Gras 2011! Proteus Parade

Ever wonder what it would be like in the front row of a Mardi Gras parade crowd in New Orleans? Here we are closer to the parade starting point on St. Charles Ave. Not as many drunk college students.... Makes it MUCH easier to enjoy.

It also helps to live only a few blocks from where most of the parades run. Hint: Get there a few hours early.

Nawlins: Know Ya Lingo

Here's a rough draft I did for Sarah a while back. She had some team members coming into town and wanted me to make a little New Orleans guide for them.

Just some lingo and translations. I took the pic at a Mardi Gras parade this year.
