Hands down the best Parade of the 2012 Mardi Gras for me. Of course there were lots of people but I never felt crowded. I did feel sorry for the women that were with us though, it seemed like they underestimated the porta potties by about 10 thousand people. They were overflowing before we even got to our spot. Will Ferrel was awesome though standing on the float with a cow bell in hand, everyone including our group was yelling, "More Cowbell!" and he delivered.
