Why go out of town when there is a great party right here in St. Louis? I’ve been going for almost 10 years and always have a great time. Just hoping the weather will be as nice as it was last year and it will be perfect!

as nice as last year? wasn’t it all snowy and muddy last year? i understand why people would go out of town for mardi gras. it would be neat to experience one in n’orleans one of these years. the RFT recently ran an article about mardi gras, inc. (the corporation who throws the official MG party) threatening to take the celebration out of soulard. something about a dispute between bar owners, and MGINC forcing them to advertise certain liquors. despite the outcome, i WILL be in SOULARD this year. i don’t particularly care where MGINC tries to move the party, soulard is the place to be for me!

The weather was terrible last year, but that didn’t keep us away! And we will be back in Soulard this year to do it again. I can’t wait!!

I’ll take last year’s snow and mud over the brutal cold of ‘07 anyday.

i hear that odin it was cold as nuts in 2007 last year was muddy and wet but thats nothing once ya get a little drinky drink in ya

That’s why I live in Soulard — I have a place to warm up alternated with the parties outside.

We live in Soulard as well. We’ll be importing people for the celebration.
