1.4.1999

I'm getting ready to go to Mardi Gras. I go to the bank around the corner from work, where they also sell music. It's full of people even though it's closed. It is snowy and cold out, so I go to my car where Jenelle is waiting. Next thing, I'm in New Orleans. It's morning, I get up and go to the trolley. I'm with someone else and we take it until we get off, but now we are lost. We go up inside this tower, it's old and European, but it has an incredible view of the city.
We stop at this woman's apartment and ask to use the phone. She is having a party and everyone there is really high on themselves, but they still mingle with us. I call Jessica but she's not home. Outside we hear the parades going by, so we go to the window and watch. I am looking at all the kids who're in the parades and am thinking how happy they must be. Soon we leave. Walking around the lobby of the building we run into this guy who had been at the party, and he gave us gold Mardi Gras chocolate coins.
