Show FEB25 - 1999 MARDIS GRAS ST. MARTIN CAVANI continued from page continued from page continued from page R7 THE PARTY BEGINS Having called to get our luggage delivered, and having made nice with the inhabitants of the apartment (including some 30 or so guests who eventually showed up to watch the next parade), we settled in for the parade of Thoth. Every parade is organized and created by a different crewe. Crewes are large groups of very wealthy men who need something to do with their excess money. The parade floats are huge enterprises, costing up to hundreds of thousands of dollars each. They are decorated with statues and lights, and they are often several stories high. To benefit those on the lower steps of the social ladder, the costumed men manning the floats throw out strings of beads, plastic cups and other assorted goodies (moon pies and cheese puffs were inexplicably popular this year). It's impossible to go to a Mardi Gras parade without coming away laden with beads. You might think: beads? What on earth good can beads do anybody? The answer is that during Mardi Gras, beads are currency. They're better than cash. They are the river on which the best happenings of Mardi Gras flow. At Mardi Gras, you want beads. BOURBON STREET We met up with Eric's friends, who urged us to stay where they were staying (at yet another friend of a friend's house). We decided we'd go home with them that night. When we had called the luggage-deliver- y people and told them where we were staying, they (after controlling their hysterical laughter) said there was no way to deliver to a house on a parade route. Vagabonds that we were, we decided we'd just call the luggage people the next morning and have them deliver to the new place. A bedraggled delivery man brought our bags to the first house at 3:30 a.m. Leaving us still without luggage. We were finally reunited with our bags the next day. By this time, we were covered in filth and slime. Mardi Gras is nothing if not dirty. The worst place in the world to be, if you're trying to stay clean, is Bourbon Street during Mardi Gras. The best advice anyone gave me was to wear clothes I zthe trip. But the grime is only part of Bourbon Street'' narm. You may have heard antastic tales of full frontal nudity and wild drunkenness. I assure you, they are all true. Mardi Gras is not for the inhibited or the faint of heart. It's for people who want to go out and lose all their inhibitions in public. In front of thousands of people, no less. Here's where the beads come in. Beads can be exchanged for all kinds of favors, the most popular being, "Show us your tits!" This cry echoed through the streets throughout the celebration. Women who normally wouldn't even let men buy them drinks in a bar suddenly become willing to bare it all. And they did, with great frequency. The street is packed with people and standing shoulder-to-shouldhumanitide of the when only moving ty carries them forward. When men in the crowd spot a woman going through the negotiating process ("I'll give you these beads if you do this," "No, you'll have to give me something better than that"), everyone knows a is imminent. It's an odd phenomenon - something like the barbazaar. tering going on at a third-worl- d And everyone in the vicinity stops and waits for it to happen. When it's over, they move on, suddenly and quickly. And you'd better be ready. The shows happen on both the streets and the balconies overhead. Each type has its pluses: the balcony exhibitions are easy to see and visible to many, but of course the stuff on the street is closer and more personal. All in all, Mardi Gras was quite the experience. It's definitely something to put on your list of shirt-liftin- g - RED R9 tenable rhythms in the Mozart of the second portion. However, an audience almost expects a little Mozart from a group this good. They perfectly executed the technicalities with the precision that is absolutely necessary when playing Mozart. Unfortunately, it is impossible to change the predictability that is commonplace in Mozart's work. The final piece on the printed program was Variations on a Theme of Frank Bridge, Op. 10 by Benjamin Britten. This showed off the versatility and vast difference in repertoire the group handle. It was a series of musical vignettes that switched between-minoand dark to sweet and cheery. In some parts the music was ethereal; in others it was as playful as a newborn pup, said one enthusiastic took an improvised solo loosely based on the blues scale and Cellist Merry Peckham quoted Mozart's "Eine Kleine R8 i r Ralph Jones Jeff Petley Thomas Anderson Rebecca Rodney DeenaBrazy Angela Featherstone hmum Scsrefab Gaby Hoffmann Kgfs Hudson Courtney Love Jay isfir Martha Plimpton thmnm Kim Paul Rudd Clinton Thurgood Jenee' imitodcii UfllL WuU LLIL ptRfofwamsfTsanriitmrrir pKtviitcitPi ORM iULilnllLLM MfWSHlCAl WWII nil 111 wn minor mini MIX twmsiBit fSBIM nam MHOCMM m M uuuillllll luil (mini Kimt!iPiivMi uiMiifnninpuiioriii mmm iinii. ifiufULnuuiunon itran TniiDnHirar iiikumilti nuupoctmii Ttimiiimiiii miiDiniiclMUTrail mnmmm mimiumu nuwonwuittn nu immimum viuuiwuiwiuiimiiwufi "MUG DAVID GALE VAH TQFFLEH WAm Michael Davis Richard Evans Nicole Zimmerman Anna Pendeton John Desha Sarah Czaja Thompson Amber Packer Meg McCoy Andrea Cknger Winter Chan Patrick Robison respectively.)

The group is on tour for about three to four months a year, said Stephen Orton, a cellist with the Academy. They came from Chicago on Monday and traveled to Logan on Wednesday. After that they will perform in Portland, Oregon. This schedule leaves little room for pleasure, but the group gets a few chances to get out every once in a while. One member was surprised to return to Salt Lake City after about ten years and find it so "overcivi-lized,- " as he put it. He wanted to hear about the best Mexican restaurants in town, and Orton wanted to find out a good place to go for outdoor recreation.
