Tillman's Tricksters Mardi Gras Ball 2006
Topic: Entertainment
Hello everyone! My wife and I enjoyed a night of dancing and festivities at the Tillman's Tricksters Mardi Gras Ball in Mobile, Alabama tonight.

Mobile is where Mardi Gras got its start. New Orleans picked up on the idea and started their own Mardi Gras the very next year.

Because of New Orleans' horrible hurricane Katrina situation, I expect this year's Mardi Gras in Mobile to be bigger than usual.

In hopes of offering a pleasant escape from the past year's losses, The City of Mobile decided to advertise our festivities for the first time this year.

Mobile's Mardi Gras is geared towards family fun. However, it is the only time of the year where you can walk the streets a little tipsy without fear of being fined. (Unless of course you get out of control and need to be confined.)

My wife and I have been going to Tillman's Tricksters Balls for several years. We've enjoyed every ball enough to be sore from dancing for a day or two later.

Take a look at the photos we took tonight. I do not know the names of everyone in our pictures. So, let me know your name(s) if you want me to identify you in my blog.

Keep New Orleans in your prayers. Mobile wishes them a fast recovery and a better future.

In the meantime, enjoy the photographs. You will see that everyone had a good time!

The photographs start with my wife and I dropping by her parent's house before the ball.
