Corylax18 Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 I will be heading down to New Orleans next Monday for work I will be in town until early Friday morning. I know we have a few members in the area, it would be great to meet up some where around town for a smoke if anyone is available. I've been to New Orleans before, but this is my first time for Mardi Gras. I am excited to witness the spectacle, if anybody else will be around let me know.
irratebass Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 I was supposed to go this year but not in the budget, have fun brother. 1
BrandonW Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 I would take you up on the offer but im on call that night for work. Stay with a group of people whenever you hit the town. Avoid going places by yourself. The criminals run rampant during Mardi Gras 1
PuffDaddie Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 Good advise from Brandonw. Come out to Metairie,La ten miles from New Orleans to Don Juan cigar shop and say hello. 2
busdriver Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 Are you working on Tuesday? Hopefully not since the city is totally shut down. Dont over do it Monday night (unless you wanna pull an all nighter) so you can hit the street early on Fat Tuesday. Get to the quarter at 830ish (am) and lose the rest of the day in splendor. Be sure to bring some kind of costume even just a mask. This magically makes you part of fun, not just an observer. 1
busdriver Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 Btw......look for a brown pirate float on Royal street that is blasting bounce music. I am the green merman who is smoking a cigar. 3

I can probably make it up that way around lunch if you'll be around. 22 minutes ago, busdriver said: Are you working on Tuesday? Hopefully not since the city is totally shut down.

There are a million different ways to experience Mardi Gras, each as special as the other. Since your cousin has lived through a few they probably have thier routine mapped out. It is bound to be fantastic!

I dont travel with my good lighters so I will need to pick one up. Will you be in around 3 tomorrow?
tengel78 Posted March 1, 2017 Posted March 1, 2017 Have fun! I've never been to New Orleans, but might swing through on our way to Gulf Shores this summer.
