Placing yourself in that wild 'n crazy environment is just asking for trouble even if you aren't a troublemaker yourself.

I thought maybe having rode on floats and cars and then having marched many miles with a drum strapped to me killed off my joy of it but then even after I stopped both of those I realized it was the atmosphere. I asked one of my friends why she intended on showing her tits, possibly getting mobbed by guys on the street, winding up on some low budget girls gone wild knock off and thrown in jail with the pay off of cheap plastic on a string but would not do the same in her town even for money and her response was basically its just what its known for, kinda like Vegas.
I can say one thing though, I remember when they tried Mardi Gras outside of the south and there were major riots and you never really hear of anything that crazy here, hate it or not, the policies keep general control. Hope everyone makes it home safe who is down here.
