Well, today is the long awaited first parade of Mardi Gras season!  The city buzzing and filling up with visitors and the weather can't be better. 

I will be spending my first parade from one of the best places on the parade route.  Red Square Agency is aprox halfway through the route on the widest street in the city.  People brag that our balcony is perfect for catching beads.  We will be hosting a client/vendor party and have been informed to have drink-in-hand right at 5 when the Excelsior Band will begin performing.

I am SO ready!
