That would be fun...I'll see what's on my "dance card"...

I used to like visiting STL in February/March, it actually feels like SPRING
down there at that time as opposed to Chicawgo...Spring here can be really
screwy, one week it can be cold and rainy and then it's real hot (like this
past year), e.g. there is no 'graduality" going on...

I used to like Soulard Mardi Gras but these days I don't like crowds that
much. Apparently STL is trying to tout Soulard MG as an alternative to New
Orleans this year (or some travel writers have said)...

My corner tap has a perfectly acceptable Mardi Gras bash with nice food,
etc. It's free and it's just down the street, you can't beat that :-)

Mardi Gras beads can make nice xmas decorations (hanging on ficus trees,
etc.), I just put some away...
