These prized possessions of the holiday are earned not only by baring whatever the thrower asks you to, but more modestly, by yelling the phrase, "Show me something, Mister!" Remember these words and you're sure to come home laden with shiny beads. So if you're ready to drop everything and make the trek to Mardi Gras, there are a few things you should know to make your time of revelry as exciting and worthwhile as it can be. Get to parade routes early if you want to be within the first two or three rows of people. Don't mess with chairs or ladders on the parade route, as locals stake their claim early and will defend it to the death. But bring along your own chairs and get there early (some recommend even before dawn) to get a good spot for the most p()pular parades. Drink and be merry all you like, but keep a few rules in mind if you're imbibing. It's legal to drink alcoholic beverages on the ,~­ street, but not from glass containers or I cans.

The same rules go for public nudity - a ' little flashing here and there isn't a big deal, but if you start to draw a crowd, you're ask­ ing for trouble. Another thing to keep in mind is that many ···_ ..• ,_ restaurants and bars will deny you bathroom privileges unless you are a patron. So plan your partying strategy and find restrooms en route - public urination is a definite no-no and a serious hot-button for natives and police alike. Basically, during Carnaval, you'll have to work to get arrested, but if you are, you'll stay in jail until at least Ash Wednesday. This is city policy. And this will definitely put a kink in your plans to get back to school, let alone to start your Lenten resolution off on the right foot. But don't let these warnings deter you from having the time of your life on Bourbon Street. Wear a costume, grab some beads, gamble a bit, eat and drink to your heart's content - live it up to excess. That's what Mardi Gras is made for.
