I've been to New Orleans on a regular weekend a couple of times and Mardi Gras twice. My interpretation:
Regular Sat. night on french quarter
Drunk with tons of people but plenty of personal space yelling "Look at those titties"
Mardi Gras on the French Quarter
Drunk with tons of people and you can barely walk much less order a drink yelling "look at those titties"
At 18-20 years old it was awesome but when I went back in my late 20's I got tired of it real quick. I haven't been since the hurricanes so I don't know whats its like now
Most bad government has grown out of too much government. Thomas Jefferson
I must admit, if I'm jammed in with tons of people, I don't last too long without starting to get edgy and look for some out of the way corner. I must be old I guess. The exception is a really good concert.
You both nailed it pretty much.After a few years ,the 'Unique' feel wears off....ecspecially in the beer soaked meat market down in the French Quarter as Fat Tuesday nears.The locals tend to stay out as The tourist are jammed in like cattle bumbling through the rowdy streets.The place to be is along the Parade routes,love the bands,UNO-Lsu dance teams,Crazy floats and letting go,in moderation of course

It's Fried Rice, you plick!
Ive even gotten that way with concerts,mind you I tend to go to smaller shows,but Im allways in adult land anymore at what ever club Im at,either up in the balcony,or by the bar,which in the Trocadero in Philly is one and the same. The last show I can really remember letting my self go in to the sardine section of a club was UK Subs/Nihilistics/76% Uncertain/Toxic Narcotic at CBGB's and that was years ago,actually now that I think about it I did spend a little bit of time in front of the stage for The Queers at JackRabbits in Jacksonville
