Now that I'm a week overdue, I thought I'd pop a couple of lines here about our Mardi Gras party last week at the Purple Door. Fun times. Our visiting crew from Louisiana promoted the heck out of this thing on campus, and generated a bit of a buzz about it. Can you see how?
These guys followed students around, cruised Greek Row, and got a good lot of people to come to the party. The good times rolled for a good long time. We had some students show up clearly looking for some booze and, er, exposure, but we kept it pretty tame, and just got to know people. Live music, dancing, jambalaya. Good times.
As the UW student newspaper noted, our party was about the only Mardi Gras thing going in the U-District.
