Countessa, How are you my yankee acquaintance?
😉
You mention one of many questions, but you also bring up the main reason for choosing this time. Of the hudnreds of thousands of people who enter the city on Mardi Gras, there are surely a few tickle folks who have wanted to be or have been a part of the festivities.

As far as success of an event during that time...
There was a gathering last year on Mardi Gras and it was fine indeed. It started out with three hosts and a large party planned. It ended with one host, that being me
(after unavoidable circumstances stopped my lovely cohostesses from attending) , and about 15 people attending over a 6 day period. Other than one person who didn't like the crowd on Bourbon Street on Saturday night, I got glowing repsonses from everyone. I think I complained more than anyone else, but that was only after playing taxi the last couple of days in traffic...hehe.

I'm thinking a 3-day event on the weekend preceeding Mardi Gras is perfect~!
PLENTY of time for everyone to see the French Quarter, visit a few famed places, flash someone for beads, watch said flashing, see a parade or fifteen, and STILL get a tickle fix by hanging out with likeminded folks. Hell, we took the tickling to the street on a parade route last year! LOL
We just didn't bring the rope!
It might also just be that those of us who are here all the time, and have been in Mardi Gras festivities our whole lives tend to think more about the fun than the fight. It's a crowd, it's a hectic time to be in the city, it's a pain sometimes, but it's also a world famous glorious event that I think everyone should see at least once in their lives...and why not do it with a bunch of tickle folk.....sounds good, no?
And Hi TklU2Deth!
Joby...lookin' for her Krewe of Tickle Folk!
