Voting has ended. The birdline is: Party on!
Are you heading to Soulard on Saturday for the Mardi Gras parade? Here are a few things you should know before you go.
The parade begins at Busch Stadium at 11 a.m., and ends at the Anheuser-Busch InBev brewery.
Take your ID.
You can't park parking in Soulard. Metro is offering a $5 shuttle from the Civic Center Metrolink station to Soulard from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. Laclede's Landing is offering a free shuttle from Second Street and Laclede's Landing Boulevard from 8 am. to 10:30 p.m.
Dress warm. I don't expect rain, but temperatures will be in the 40s most of the day.
Use portable toilets — no public urination, please.
Outdoor venders will stop selling alchohol at 8 p.m. Last call at Soulard bars is 10:30 p.m. If you're not of legal drinking age, don't try it.
If you're tweeting from Mardi Gras, tag your tweets with #stlmg. (Watch for my updates, too: Follow @weatherbird.)
Now that we've got the details down, vote on what I should say about Mardi Gras. The bird line with the most votes will appear on the front page of Saturday's paper. See you at Mardi Gras!
