capnwilliam Posted February 18, 2006 Posted February 18, 2006 As always: Mate Jan and I are hosting our whatever-annual pirate-themed Mardi Gras party, on Sunday, February 26, in conjunction with the Bacchus Parade, that starts on my doorstep! There will be some 5 Mardi Gras Parades starting on my block or within walking distance, all day and into the evening. So if you will be in the New Orleans area, or have a friend who will be, please to stop by, or invite them to! Contact me at capnwilliam@yahoo.com if you want more info. Capt.

Black Syren Posted February 18, 2006 Posted February 18, 2006 I would love to attend. Sounds right fun but this year I cannot get down to New Orleans. Take Pics though and share them with us... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v519/Dara286/trident01-11.png If you got a dream chase it, cause a dream won't chase you back...(Cody Johnson Till you Can't)
CaptainCiaran Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 Thank ye fer the invitation, capnwilliam! Although I can't get to New Orleans this year fer Mardi Gras, I smile happily thinkin' of the many good times I've had in your great city. Raisin' me tankard to ye, good Sir, and New Orleans! I wonder if one of the most important steps on our journey is the one in which we throw away the map. -- Loreena McKennitt My fathers knew of wind and tide, and my blood is maritime. -- Stan Rogers I don't pretend to be captain weird.

capnwilliam Posted February 28, 2006 Author Posted February 28, 2006 Sunday's party went well, albeit with fewer than half the guests we normally have. The good part is that about half of them were pirates! We just got back from Bourbon Street. The crowds were bigger than last year - which was a bad year, due to conflict with football - but not so busy as most years. The balconies were poorly occupied. Far less flashing than normally; good costumes, though the parodies about Katrina have gotten very "old" to me by now. Lots of small children out this year; something seldom seen on Bourbon on Mardi Gras Day. All in all, a good and pleasant first Mardi Gras in our post-Katrina world. :) Capt.
