We've had some cold Mardi Gras, but this year may take the cake. If only it was last Saturday!
When was the last warm one?

I remember attending, I guess in 2005 in shorts and T shrits. Saw a lot of topless women that day.
I recommend gloves and hand warmers.

I live in Soulard and while I took part in this past weekend's activities I'll be in NOLA this upcoming weekend. Kind of odd that Sunday's temp for the pet parade which was near 70 degrees could be the warmest Mardi Gras weather I'll experience this year. New Orleans is predicted to be in the 50s and low 60s
When was the year it was like 75 degrees on parade Saturday and a half million people showed up to Soulard?
I'm fairly certain that was about 6 months after Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans (Aug. 2005), with the huge Soulard crowd coming in Winter of 2006.
I was going to go but not with the temperature being in the 20's. I'm too old for that. Ain't nobody got time...
I loved 2005. Is soulard busy on Friday night, before?

Other than the truck carrying STL City catching fire (that was quickly put out by STLFD) it was a drama free MG in Soulard--with beautiful weather.
Mayor Jones was right in the mix of the crowd at the Drag Races. I know previous mayors have taken part in the Mayor's Ball and have declared MG open on Twelfth Night I don't recall any others out and about in the hordes on Mardi Gras Saturday.

^ She certainly carried herself a helluva lot better than her counterpart in New Orleans did haha.

^What happened in New Orleans? I know there was a shooting along the parade route
but did the mayor have a bad response to it or something?
