I learned my lesson after two or three times. St Pat's, Mardi Gras, Cinco de Mayo, I go to another square to avoid the insanity.

I agree. My brother and I attended the Mardi Gras celebration at Spanish Springs and we brought our own chairs to make sure we could sit for at least part of it. I'm glad we did. It was plenty crowded and I also wondered if it would have made more sense to have simultaneous celebrations at all three squares. I think it would help with crowd control.

I must go to the right places at the right time, because I rarely (if ever) run into enough traffic to even think about taking an alternate route.

Now there's a person that is organized.
