The day before Mardi Gras. Lundi means "Fat Monday" in French, or the day before Fat Tuesday (Mardi Gras.) It is when most of the big parties start around here. There is one parade in Metairie tonight, Zues, I believe. I'm not going though, it isn't worth an hour + drive, but tomorrow it is a day full of parades. Tomorrow will be a full day of parades and booze though.
