About 5 minutes out on the street we came upon a black guy asking for beads from a balcony loaded with girls. They were prodding him to show them something so all of a sudden he drops his pants and shows his wanger, and it was at least partially aroused. We were with another couple and the guy and I went JFC and walked on but our wives stood there gawking.
Dude got his beads though.
The best part of the whole thing is the parades IMO. Deadwood has an annual MG weekend with parade and we enter a float. It is a lot of fun throwing beads to screaming drunk people.

Exactly, the parades are a blast.
I'm not into all that drunk "show me your tits" shit downtown on Bourbon.
That's mostly for tourists.
In fact when Mardi Gras comes to town a lot of the locals that live in the touristy areas just leave town. They don't want to deal with it anymore.
It will extra special fun this year because of the Super Bowl being held during MG.
