Mardi Gras in the Lou

This past weekend was Mardi Gras in the Lou! It was huge, and made even huger by the fact that Jen’s family has an ass-kicking bus that doubles as a float. We were IN the parade! Mardi Gras was not a spectator sport for us. Pics are below.

Before you get disappointed…….there are no pictures of topless women. Beer goes in the left hand; beads are thrown with the right. An amateur mathematician will figure out that leaves no hands for photos. Besides that, any float participant will tell you, being young and attractive is NOT a prerequisite for taking one’s shirt off. Thus, a clear photo of an attractive topless woman in the parade is a tough shot indeed. Plus, what kind of a blog do you think this is???

The pics just said about 29,000 words, so in short………I flew in, and first saw Schu, who is living a luxurious life of skiing and refinishing his nifty new home. We all then “decorated” the bus, and the best surprise ever happened when Dre materialized inside Jen’s home. Like David Copperfield.

Delicious Pancakes (Lance) and I threw a bunch of beads to a lot of drunken people. The bus/float was fantastic, and much like a transformer. Soulard was crowded. If you have breasts, and a 2nd story window, I recommend you try stopping traffic. Your power will be amazing.

Somehow, myself, Julie, Jen, Andrew and several others all made it back to the Swinehart household. This is where Jen’s dad really got into his element, and entertained the masses in an award winning performance.

I even got to see my younger brother the next day, although like most elusive Dingos, he does not show up on film.
