oh the dilemma!
NEROHouston (that's our live action role playing group) is holding an event this weekend (Feb 21-2). There are two Mardi Gras parties this weekend. NERO's next event is March 20-22. We test for the red belt in Tang Soo Do March 21.
We don't really want to miss two NERO events in a row -- that's like missing two episodes of an arc-based TV show (think of missing two eps of LOST!). But there's free food, and beer, and cheap plastic beads, and sleeping at home in bed, and live music, if we go to Mardi Gras.
Decisions, decisions.
I guess maybe we will miss the parties this year -- we have already seen two parades, and gotten some decent beads from them -- although we will be sad not to have the cameraderie and socializing.
