We’re ready for Mardi Gras! Galveston and Super Bowl Sunday
We here at Pint Jockeys headquarters are certainly loving 2013. In early January, we were treated to the first monthly Pint Jockeys tasting and Yaga’s Chili Quest & Beer Fest all in one week. And this weekend, we’ve got two HUGE beer-guzzling events to look forward to. Mardi Gras! Galveston starts this Friday, February 1 and (as if we even have to remind you) Super Bowl XLVII “kicks off” (see what we did there?) on Sunday, February 3. Like we said above: one weekend, two HUGE events. We’ve got our party pants on and are ready to roll.
Naturally, this year’s Mardi Gras! Galveston is bigger than ever with a whopping 24 parades, 20 balcony parties, five elegant masked balls and 38 concerts with headliners including Tonic and Lee Brice. You can catch us at the George P. Mitchell kickoff parade on Friday at 7:30. We’ve gotta get an up-close-and-personal look at those famous Budweiser Clydesdales who will be leading the parade.
No time to rest on Saturday (that’s what Monday is for!)—there are parades all day and Tonic is headlining the Main Stage on The Strand. Get a full schedule at www.mardigrasgalveston.com and while you’re online, be sure to send us your pics!
Don’t forget about the parades on Sunday. You’ll have time to enjoy them before heading to your Super Bowl party! We won’t tell you who we’re rooting for (why talk politics on a craft beer blog?) but we will say we’re excited for the food, friends and funny commercials.
No matter what you’re celebrating this weekend, we ask you to be safe and drink responsibly. If you’re heading to the island for Mardi Gras! Galveston festivities, there are tons of opportunities to catch safe rides home. The “Official Cab Stand of Mardi Gras! Galveston” will be located at the intersection of 23rd Street and Market Street. You can also call Yellow Cab Galveston at (409) 763-3333 or get to and from major Galveston-area hotels using free shuttles provided by Texas Department of Transportation and Galveston Island Convention and Visitors Bureau in conjunction with Yaga’s Entertainment, Inc.
If you’re throwing a Super Bowl party, remember to be a good host – serve high-protein foods throughout the evening (pass the seven-layer dip!), provide non-alcoholic options for designated drivers and adults who prefer not to drink and intercept the keys if you think a friend has had too much. Let them stay over and make them pay for the breakfast taquitos in the morning. It’s a win-win.
Have fun this weekend, Pint Jockeys! Cheers!
