I was looking at old pictures of Bulli Gras. 2008 I think. Everybody looked all cold and windburned. This year it should average 70* highs and 51* lows because it falls a full month later. So I dug up this list of Mardi Gras dates, in case anybody is interested. It could help you plan how to pack (and how much propane to take) or decide to just skip it altogether. We're looking pretty good until 2016. That year will be some die hard, wool blanket packin', propane heater havin', hard core Bulli Gras Junkies. http://nutrias.org/facts/mgdates.htm
