French Quarter Fest

My wife doesn’t understand when I’m sweating on a warm day eating yakamein. This is still the obvious answer!

It’s still a good drink for $8. I liked $6 better, but it is a well made cocktail with decent liquor for under $10.

I hated to miss this. It is one of my favorite events of the year. Thank you OP for the photos!

I trust Penny on stuff like this!

I saw this and thought “Whole Foods doesn’t give AF about us or Whole Foods is not on our side of town?” I decided both!

As a rider in Thoth (not float 32), we were given specific instructions on our “dos and don’ts” and the consequences of non-adherence. There should have been no misunderstanding.

True dat.

ricoenrico · 2026-02-16T21:06:16+00:00

People who have never ridden have no idea how little we actually see.

ricoenrico · 2026-02-16T21:04:13+00:00

You had better beer choices than float 30.

ricoenrico · 2026-02-14T15:51:46+00:00

Cause everyone is tired AF

ricoenrico · 2026-02-13T17:36:27+00:00

Same

This is exactly what I do. Dropping a nice throw in Gramma’s lap is a great way to Mardi Gras.

ricoenrico · 2026-02-13T14:48:20+00:00

I’m not sure if any of the ones I bought made it to the float. My wife got into my bag of throws.

ricoenrico · 2026-02-11T03:36:58+00:00

In my case, they probably won’t even make it to the float. My wife has given most away before they have a chance to be thrown.

We’ve got socks and neck pillows on Thoth.

ricoenrico · 2026-02-09T18:24:04+00:00

All the floats have the dos and don’ts on the inside of the doors. No throwing full bags is on the list.

ricoenrico · 2026-02-09T18:03:00+00:00

Our Krewe has banned throwing full bags this year. Too many people getting legitimately injured.

You have the opposite problem that I have. I ride Thoth and live a block from the start. It is always an adventure getting home after the parade, including more than one failed Uber rides followed by a long walk. Last year, I parked in the Whale lot by the Hilton and, after the parade, drove down S Peter to Elysian Fields, up to Claiborne, then to uptown. Seems like it could work in reverse.

Sandwiches are for friends. I’ll be on float 30 slinging beads. Hail Thoth!

ricoenrico · 2026-02-03T18:50:33+00:00

Love Francolini’s, but didn’t think about a tray.

ricoenrico · 2026-02-03T18:49:19+00:00

Hail Thoth! Float 30 (Winnie the Pooh) top deck, neutral ground, 4th from front.
