Mardi Gras 2007!

Starting today we are officially counting down for our trip to New Orleans for Mardi Gras. Hopefully our friend Jessie will be going with us to see the biggest party in the world. Nether her or my wife have ever been to Mardi Gras so I refer to them as Mardi Gras virgins. They have no idea of the spectacle they are about to witness. My friend Bill who lives in Houma LA will be our private tour guide for the event. I myself have been to Mardi Gras and spent seven days with my friend Bill partying our ass's off. I 'll tell you one thing, at the end of it all I was ready to come home. I never partied so much in my entire life. It is one of those events that everyone should experience before they die.

My friend tells me that the French Quarter is pretty much back to normal but the surrounding areas are still showing heavy hurricane damage. I can't say if it will draw the normal one million plus people, but I know it will be one hell of a blast of debauchery.

Party on............

Eventho I never been to Mardi Grass I have been to Carnival in Germany and Holland.There it is the same tradition as in New Orleans.% days of PAR-TEE!LOL The shows and cotumes and all is about the same.But I think NO carries it a bit further.Can't wait to be part of such spectacle once again after such a long time (its been 10 years or so).:-)
I am working hard to get there.Still have not gotten a hold on the prospective babysitter and I have to get permission from the bail bonds people to leave state....*groan*......

How would they know if you do not tell them?

As long as your court date doesn't fall on one of those days.

COuld be for any reason......even a simple traffic ticket could lead to them thinking I am jumping bail.I got this stupid written agreement here.Danny said the same as you but Jim thinks its safer......guess I better do it then since hes the bail holder.LMAO
Man I am in soooooo much trouble.LOL

Does the agreement say you can't leave the state?

Is there a chance they will let you leave the state if you ask them?

It sux's that you are taking the heat for something you did not do.

It says I can not leave state without my husbands and the bail bonds permission.I called them and they said Jim needs to fax them a statement saying I am allowed to but he needs to tell them the dates,address and phone number I am going ot be at and reason for lewaving.Once they have that I can go.
