1. There's Mardi Gras in Galveston this year, too.
:D

I don't go to such things, but it's good to see them making a big effort to keep it going there.

2. Oh, It's All Over the Place
I'm waiting to hear what news my car mechanic has for me. I'm thinking about doing NOLA Sunday/Monday/Tuesday morning and then high-tailing it to Mobile to catch Order of Myths.

3. Okay, I didn't know that.
I only knew that the Galveston one was supposed to be a good alternate to NoLa :)

4. I'm going down next Friday Afternoon
but I live 60 miles from the French Quarter so day trips are possible. Per all accounts this year will be much bigger then last year.

5. I haven't decided yet....
but I'm 50-ish miles from NOLA, so I have the luxury of making last minute plans!

7. That's So Nice
I've got a 10 hour drive, if I do it. Could fly, but I want to check out the Natchez Trace.

9. I Don't In General. Much
And it probably wouldn't be a good idea to unleash my smart-mouth on Mississippi's finest.

10. They are VERY radar-happy on that drive.....
and sometimes the speed limit is ridiculously slow... But if you pay attention and enjoy the scenery- it IS a nice drive.
