Like a terribly, terribly overgrown Cubs game, but with very old, French roots

The Mardi Gras parade is tomorrow.

For those brave souls who venture out to watch and/or participate, you oughta know that the Old North St. Louis Restoration Group will be selling beer at a booth at the corner of 7th and Victor in order to raise funds for our wonderful, historic neighborhood. We will be there from 8AM until 4PM. Stop by and buy a beer, or a soda, or water, or a hurricane, and drop some money in the tip jar to support the neighborhood even more. At least you will be able to tell your friends you did one honorable thing at Mardi Gras!
