Someone mentioned if you are planning on staying for at least a couple years, you should look into joining a Mardi Gras Society. It really is one of the best ways to network (both from a business standpoint and a social) quickly in Mobile. I think for most societies, new member applications are past due for this upcoming year. I guarantee some of your co-workers belong to a few, so after they get to know you I'm sure they'd vouch for you.

Get a copy of this book and you'll understand our history of Mardi Gras and why it's so important to Mobile. And again, if you plan to stay for a couple years, buy a set of tails for the Mardi Gras balls. Trust me, by year 2 you'll be saving money from the rental fees...plus you'll look badass in tails

I plan on being there for as long as I can. Mobile seems to be growing and so does the firm I'm going to work for. Other than being transferred or god forbid being fired I plan being in Mobile for quite some time. I've heard getting involved with the Mardi Gras things is a great opportunity to meet people. I'll have to get into that. A couple of the younger guys I worked with last summer did that and they love it.

Thanks for all the tips and help everyone. Anything else I should know will be greatly appreciated.
