Mardi Gras Tomorrow

Always a favorite time with me.

Didn't get to do anything over the weekend in regards to it, however, other than listen to New Orleans and Louisiana music in the vehicles.

We had planned to go to PJs Courthouse Inn in Sycamore, Illinois, for their annual crawfish festival featuring the Dekalb Footstompers on Saturday. This is a great time, but we haven't been there much the last several years because of the large crowds. The snow we got cancelled this.

Then, yesterday, we thought about going to Hogs and Kisses in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, for their Mardi Gras party, but they weren't having a band as in the past. Up until a few years ago, they always had Hat Trick playing that great Cajun-style music.

Tonight, I plan on listening to Tom Marker do his Lundi Gras (Lundi means Monday in French) party on his Bluesbreakers radio show on WXRT in Chicago. This always puts me in the mood.

Tomorrow, we're thinking of driving over to Woodstock, Illinois, to view the traveling Abraham Lincoln exhibit and then going to Lake Geneva for the Mardi Gras meal at Popeye's, right across from the Riviera Docks on Geneva Lake.
