Mardi Gras. Woo?
Posted by kaolla at 11:30 PM on February 6, 2005 as a favorite post.
So I celebrated my first mardi gras here ... I guess by default, since I've just moved.
We went to my friend's aunt's bakery on St. Charles and stood outside or inside eating and watching a few parades... pretty boring catching beads.
The number of drunk people just increased exponentially, as well as the bad smells (horse shit, beer, etc.).
Then... the first float of Bacchus went by with Sean Astin and Eljiah Wood.
Well Sean was in a skirt. Quite frightening, and he was too high to see well, but I took picture.
Then Elijah rolled by in a spiffy suit and all my friends and I had a very teenybopper moment (can you imagine. yue with a teenybopper moment) and all screamed at once and he turned to us and screamed.
His float went down and then stopped, so we all ran after it (...) and stood close, taking a few pics.
Then he threw a bead at me!!! HOHOHO!!!!
This little kid in front of me was trying to grab it away at first but I was like hey bitch please!
Yeah, that was basically the pinnacle of ...everything. It all got pretty boring after a while.
But ah! I was... a stone's throw (or a really well-trained spitter's spit distance) away from Elijah Wood! Excellent.
Mardi Gras in general may really not be for me, but hey, seeing a celebrity who's kinda short, skinny, and pretty (just my type) is well worth the drunk people gyrating.
*Glances at Elijah beads*
I'll get my pics developed soon (bought a disposable one from Walgreens) and then uh... I guess maybe take those pics with a digital camera since I have no scanner.
When we're seniors, I'm gonna get drunk and do it right. *nod* Or not.
