I HAD MY FIRST TASTE OF BOURBON STREET AT THE RIPE OLD AGE OF FIFTEEN. IN RETROSPECT, IT WAS A VERY MAE WEST EXPERIENCE. I ABSOLUTELY FELL IN LOVE WITH THE CORSETED WOMEN SWINGING THROUGH STOREFRONT WINDOWS (AT LEAST THAT’S HOW I REMEMBER IT), STREET MUSICIANS WERE SOMETHING TO BEHOLD, AND EVERYBODY - AND I MEAN EVERYBODY - ON THAT STREET WAS HAVING A GOOD TIME.
IT WAS AN ENLIGHTENING TRIP. I COULDN’T WAIT TO GET BACK AS AN ADULT.
WHILE CELEBRATING AN OCCASION SUCH AS MARDI GRAS IS BEST DONE DEBAUCHEROUSLY IN NEW ORLEANS, THE FIND FOLKS AT DOWNTOWN SANTA MONICA INC. HAVE DONE THEIR BEST TO TRY TO MAKE SURE THEY PLACE A STRONG SECOND.
NO. 2 IS THE SH*T.
STOP BY. INDULGE IN JOYFUL DEFIANCE OF AUSTERITY.
IT’S WHAT YOUR NEIGHBORS WOULD WANT YOU TO DO.
MARDI GRAS on THIRD STREET
FEBRUARY 14 5PM-MIDNIGHT
DRINKS, DJ’S AND DANCING.
WHAT MORE DO YOU NEED?
