It is the first weekend of the main parade season. Lots of people in town. Lots of green, gold, and purple. Everyone is in a good mood.
I went to the Quarter at 2:00 this morning. It was too crowded for me. I couldn't even pull rank at my usual haunts--too much commotion. Even if I had gotten a seat, I would have been miserable. Most people from out of town are blind drunk at that time of day.
It is 11:21AM as I write this. It is already busy. It is raining later today so the parade schedule has been moved forward. Everyone is eating in order to get down to Canal Street around 1:00. That. is when the first floats should hit. It takes them about two hours to travel St. Charles Avenue.
