king cake party good

mardi gras krewes know how to party. lemme just say: really fabulous costumes and sweaty groovy dancing. i love seeing how certain personalities just get switched on in the right atmosphere. electric. spicy.

here's a thought. i live in a town with very little night life. the night that does live seems to cater to a younger, college-aged crowd. so my theory is, those over thirty-five or approaching some proximity of this, who love to cut loose and shake their proverbial groove thangs, kinda find each other, like magnets and bits of iron in a shoe box. and they put the conventional nightlife to shame. these people can go. and thank god for them. it's grass roots party style.
