Mardi Gras in Kingston NY
Hey I have to spread the word about my beloved home area so here is something that I think is well worth checking out. Here is the email I got about the event:
Make a Date (or Three) for the Mardi Crawl Pub Crawl, Win a Crown, Dance Away the Winter Doldrums: the Rondout Business Association Offers a Full Roster of Events at Kingston’s First Annual Mardi Gras, February 16-20

Kingston, N.Y.In New Orleans, Mardi Gras is celebrated with parades, masked and costumed party-goers tossing beads and trinkets to the cheering crowds, and parties into the night with distinctive “N'awlins” music as well as Cajun and Creole foods. In the spirit of this tradition, the Rondout Business Association and several Rondout restaurants and business are throwing Kingston's First Annual Mardi Gras, a festive multi-day celebration running from Friday, February 16 through "Fat Tuesday", February 20.
The festivities will begin with a Mardi Gras Pub Crawl on Friday, February 16. The Pub Crawl continues on Saturday, takes a rest on Sunday and Monday, and finishes up on Tuesday. Each night will boast a big Mardi Gras party at all six participating restaurants, complete with masks and bead necklaces. It’s $10 entry per person each night or $20 for all three nights. Restaurants include the Bridgewater Bar & Grill, Downtown Café, El Coqui, Mariner’s Harbor, Rosita’s Mexican Restaurant and Ship to Shore. These restaurants will feature New Orleans specialties on their menus for this event as well as serving a specific “street food” item on Saturday, February 17. Look for gumbo at Bridgewater Bar & Grill, an oysters and clams raw bar at Mariner’s Harbor. Mezzanine Cafe will offer beignets and coffee. Other N'Awlins foods will include po-boys, muffulettas (sandwiches), lucky dogs, red beans and rice and of course the traditional jambalaya.
And what’s a party without music? The bands Blue Coyote, The Bronx Express, Tragic Magic, The Hit Men, Common Ground, Plan B, Spent and Saints of Swing, covering music styles from Cajun, blues & rock, rock & roll, country, easy listening, jazz and swing are scheduled to perform at the six restaurants during the Mardi Gras Pub Crawl.

Unfortunately, the Kingston Police Dept. demanded an exhorbetant payment for 15 minutes work (In the five figures, no decimal poit) the bands never showed up, and parade could not be held. However, one person did come as a giant shaggy flower with the sign "KPD, kiss my aster." The ice sculptures were awesome, but with no costumes, no parade and no music, it lacked a little joie de vive
