10 Things NOT To Do At Mardi Gras

Mardi Gras is this Tuesday, and can be great fun if you follow some sensible rules, like pick a place to meet up if you get separated from your group.

The rest of the ten things not to do are here.

"Do not fight over beads, it's just not worth it... [Instead,] If you see a group getting ready to hold up a sign to a passing float, go stand next to them. They know someone behind the masks and are about to get buried under bags of beads and goodies."
