The Asian Chamber invited me to be on their Mardi Gras float this year at Universal. They go once a year to throw out beads from a float. They gave me a park-to-park ticket and complimentary parking. I didnโt want to go the entire day, so I met Bev at the Pointe and gave the tickets to her. The Pointe is getting better and better. I always forget about it, but it has some great restaurants. We at The Pub and it was just like Ireland or Britain. Aunt Polly and I ate at a Greek restaurant there a few weeks ago. The Pointe is near the convention center.
I arrived to Universal around 3:30 p.m. I went to Diagon Alley and met Bev. We rode the train to Hogsmeade. I walked out as there wasnโt enough time to ride the train back. I went to Southwest Moeโs where I ran into two friends from Disney. It was nice to see them again. They took pictures of me on the parade route.
I met the AACC at 5:30 p.m. We waited for a while and then, we were shown our float around 7:00 p.m. We put on our costumes and the parade started at 7:45 p.m. It was really fun. I was just tossing beads as fast as I could. the 27-minute parade felt like 10 minutes. It was very nice of them to invite me as they only had 8 tickets this year.
