Phoebe Ann Mozee was a way better name, frankly. But yeah, Oakley was pretty har'core.

Uhm, we have nothing. At all. Ever.

Someone may have... no, that was Birmingham they did that...

Nothin here really. i live in Powell, Wyoming with a population of 5, 000. last June i lived in San Antonio(that's my hometown). and i think u were talking about mardi gras for that second tradition Sammiebabe.

Oh no, I was talking about Tampa, Florida. We actually have two Mardi Gras-esque festivals every year. The one I mentioned is in February, called Gasparilla. We literally have drunk rich people who dress up like pirates, come in on a big pirate ship, and stage a takeover of the city. Then everyone proceeds to drink until the sun comes up.
Then, the weekend before Halloween, we have Guavaween, which is very similar to Gasparilla, just not with pirates....

Mardi Gras is just the name of a day. The celebrations go far beyond New Orleans.
Not to mention Carnival also~
