    I love Barkus! My dog Skye, who passed away a few years ago, was a Barkus krewe member one year & marching in that parade was a blast! I have Zulu coconuts, Nyx purses, Iris sunglasses & even a Tucks toilet brush but, as of yet, no coveted Muses shoe. Getting one has become a sacred quest! Excellent & informative video, as always. And Andrew is serious about wearing closed shoes, especially in the FQ. The wet sludge, often called "Decaturade" , that flows thru the streets of the FQ is no joke, especially during MG.

    Joy, our Bart was also a Barkus Krewe member. He also passed away a few years ago. I have been getting Barkus emails. It just breaks my heart.💔 I don’t have a coconut🥲,but last year Muses Krewe members had people nominate people who really could use some uplifting Carnival spirit. On what would have Muses Thursday night, a fully costumed&masked lady showed up to hand deliver a coveted shoe.

    I'm a local and here's something to think about for anyone thinking of coming here for Mardi Gras...... the NOPD is severely understaffed right now. They had to change parade routes just because they don't have enough police for the long routes. So don't be surprised if you become a victim of crime here and don't be surprised when it takes at least an hour for police to respond if they respond at all. I'm not exaggerating this. So if you do come....... good luck. If you want to go to parades then go to Metairie. That's where I go to see parades. The parades in Metairie may not be as big as parades in NOLA but they're a lot safer.

    "How does one party like a local?" "Leave?" I had to laugh; I live in central Indiana, and that is exactly what a lot of Indianapolis residents do for the week leading up to Memorial Day (the Indy 500 trials and race, for those who don't follow sports).

Not concerned about the people in Parades (we have all been vaccinated, boosted, and/or tested within 72 hours of the parades) Wearing a mask isnt foolproof(see what I did there) but it HELPS prevent the spread. I am more concerned about all the people visiting that may not be vaccinated and refuse to wear mask. Stay healthy out there yall. We want to get back to something "normal" .... Let's encourage Healthy Supportive behaviors.

    Kinda late to do so inexpensively but try booking a parking spot ahead of time. There are many available services/apps, but I normally use SpotHero. That way your parking is guaranteed and produces a receipt available (physical print out or QR/barcoded receipt) to avoid any issues. You will still likely be walking alot to get to your preferred parade, but you will have a parking spot. The earlier on you book (months out is best), it's usually less expensive. Be extremely careful to park in designated (and well lit/populated) areas to deter potential problems. Hope you enjoy your trip down 🎉

    Try to be near the start or middle of the parade. You have to fight for space and throws the closer you are to the quarter. Any decent beads often get broken by someone else trying to snatch them from you. Endymion is too competitive for us.

    As a born and raised local, some info not mentioned... -Parking: don't be an ass. Listen to whomever's house you're parking by. Tow trucks and meter maids are everywhere. You park across a driveway, don't be surprised if you get towed. Don't leave expensive things in your car as they may get stolen. - Police: They are working 12-15 hour shifts. They are in bad moods. Do not pester them. If you get arrested during Mardi Gras, you are in holding until Ash Wednesday. Offer the cops some snacks and some water, and just be nice. -Drinking: it's a marathon, not a sprint. Locals absolutely hate drunk tourists. Don't pass out, puke, or pee on people's houses or lawns. We hate it, and then will hate you. -Location: Uptown is primarily for families. Don't watch a parade Uptown if you're going to get trashed and start flashing for beads. The parents will form an angry mob against you. -Attitude: Don't get pissy with the locals. We've been doing this a long time. We're happy to offer advice, give you a drink, or some fried chicken. We'd probably offer you a bathroom if you ask. Just be nice. We're all there to have a good time. - Carnival Balls: There are mainly two types, white dress balls and costume balls. The white dress balls start on Twelfth Night and run through Fat Tuesday. Costume balls usually start a little later in the season. Yes, you may see people walking around in formal attire. Yes, many people take it very seriously. But both types are having a great time and will gladly talk to you about it.

Please don't wear your good shoes omg I cannot stress that enough! I really don't like it, but I'll do it for people who come into town smfh! It's a real headache that lasts weeks and all leads up to one day! 😕 (if that makes sense)
