I wish I could celebrate it like they do down in New Orleans.

I wish, would love to take a trip down to New Orleans and do it the right way.

Mobile, AL is where Mardi Gras started in the U.S. great times, but a bigger party in New Orleans for sure.

No, I don't really do anything special for Mardi Gras, but would love to head to New Orleans and experience it in person.

I don't do it because I'm not Catholic, and I wouldn't want to go to New Orleans either. If I wanted to be around a bunch of sweaty and drunk people, I'll go to the local frat houses. At least the boys are all easy on the eyes.
I talked to native of New Orleans and he said it's an absolute waste of time. He said all the good parties happen during Halloween

At my old job we did. We had to be PG. But the most I did was dress in the colors and wear a few beads.

I don't celebrate it myself, though I would like to visit and watch the parade from a hotel balcony (when I win the lottery so I can afford it). Just the experience would be enough for me, don't care for participation.
My ex-husband went on leave with his unit for it one time. One of the guys lived there, so he was the native guide ... and he really did come from a hougan family (ex said the guy even had a shrine to Chango in his footlocker).

Don't celebrate it, but have gone to New Orleans once...to see what it was like. Decided I don't like a million drunk people flinging cigarettes around.

I live in NO and agree with this 100%. Halloween is my birthday and part of the reason we go out that night but the parties are WAY better. Mardi Gras everyone is drunk in the worst, most annoying way. It is literally like the whole city becomes a frat house.

I did not leave my house this weekend. You cannot get anywhere with the traffic. I don't have work Monday or Tuesday. My husband does have work Monday. Unless he gets off early it will take him 2+ hours to get home from parade traffic. UGH. Hate this holiday.

02/19/2012
Haven't so far
02/20/2012
sorry,but no.
02/20/2012
little bit my dad is from New Orleans so yeah.
02/20/2012
Well being that I'm from Louisiana, yes of course I celebrate Mardi Gras. We go to all the parades we can around the home and that are kid friendly. It's actually been years since I've been to New Orleans for it though. We were planning on going this year, but our plans changed. But we still have been to a few parades this year.

I spent the day bra-less, but that's about as close as I get to celebrating Mardi Gras. And that was only because my bra needed to be washed.
02/20/2012
Not really I do use it as an excuse to indulge in stuff however.
02/20/2012
No, but it sure looks like alot of fun.
02/21/2012
I don't celebrate it but I really would love to go to New Orleans or Brazil for Carnival.
02/22/2012
No I'm boring like that
02/22/2012
I don't. There is stuff that goes on in town for it, but since I'm not 21 yet I can never do any of it
02/22/2012
I would if I was in New Orleans
03/04/2012
I ate pancakes, does that count?
03/05/2012
I spent the day topless in my own home, but that's most of the time.

Might be fun, but we've never celebrated it. If we didn't have kids/work etc.....we might try to celebrate it in style

Yes. I live near St. Louis, and they have a great mini-Mardi Gras party.
03/16/2012
Usually i don't, but I'd like to if I could find a good place to celebrate in my area.
03/16/2012
No, the sweaty, loud, drunken nature of the celebration no longer appeals to me. I guess I am officially a fuddy duddy now.
