5 stages of Carnival parade parking

1.5 hours before: perfect spot! lets go grab a drink!

1 hour before: oh my god this is a great spot! i can’t believe we got it. let’s try to grab a drink before we head to the parade…

30 minutes before: cmon you can squeeze in there! okay everyone grab a couple of beers from the cooler, we’ve got to hurry.

15 minutes before: that car is gonna take our space! dammit.
well we’ll just park over here and walk to the end of the route to catch it. everyone chug because we have to walk fast…

parade starts: i don’t care if that’s a driveway. fuck
them. and just pull right up
to their bumper; they’ve got room in the back. hey, I drank everything while we circled; anyone have anything else to drink?
