[Tango-A] Fat Tuesday & Lucille's Birthday at La Boca

[infocelebratetango]

So come eat drink and be merry
Guys remember those beads!!
Because...

 It's time to party it up, and ....eat. Fat Tuesday is the day before Ash
Wednesday. It is also known as Mardi Gras Day or Shrove Day. It is a day
when people eat all they want of everything and anything they want as the
following day is Ash Wednesday, the beginning of a long fasting period for
Christians. In addition to fasting, Christians also give up something
special that they enjoy. So, Fat Tuesday is a celebration and the
opportunity to enjoy that favorite food or snack that you give up for the
long lenten season.

Nowhere on the planet is Fat Tuesday celebrated more than on Bourbon Street
in New Orleans. The day is celebrated with festivities and parades and of
course much food and drink. While in New Orleans, a big tradition is in
wearing Mardi Gras beads and giving them to others. And tradition requires
that if a guy gives a girl some beads, she has to do something for
him.....this can be just loads of fun.........

Did You Know? On Bourbon street in New Orleans, store owners coat poles and
columns with vaseline to keep  wild and rowdy revelers from climbing them
(and perhaps falling).


Looking forward to...

Celebrating Tango!
