    Mardi Gras

    That's me on the city's web site.

    Got to lead the Mardi Gras parade this year; if I get some good pics, I'll post them.

    MapQuest says a mile; took about 30 minutes, playing continuously.
    I was the lone piper at the head of the parade, behind the color guard. There was a group of 3 more pipers bringing up the rear.
