What happens when you see friends pass in a parade? A burst of joy and a lot of beads…

Anyone that has ridden in a Mardi Gras parade will admit that it’s an amazing, overstimulated three-hour blur of an experience.

But when you somehow find someone you know along the route, the blur becomes a burst of joy, and you immediately start dumping your special throws toward your friends. Want an example? Check out what happens when friend Adele Tiblier passes by a couple friends and I while riding in Krewe of Tucks…
