My Tribe

There was something so incredibly primal about heading down the street with 700 members of my tribe. I did not know them all, but they were all my peeps nonetheless. A crowd like that the cops do not want to mess with you. A crowd like that, everybody wants to jump in.

And so they did. We rolled through the lower garden district, and the first treat was a large family coming off their front porch to shake it with us for a few blocks.

I'll get back on all the other details later. But many of us talked about you, and I really did want to shout out to all of you now and let you know we missed you. I mean all of you out there that we were missing. There was so much room for all of you, and it was your tribe we were rolling with too. This was a great year, and I swear after 20 years steady Mardi Gras has never been better. I can't wait to see all of you next year.



Roll with me!
