This is the official site of the 2018 Street Drinking Permit. Those persons posted have been accepted after review of the applicant's personal, psychological and criminal history. The persons that are displayed herein have applied for and received a 2018 SDP in their chosen assignation because they have passed the rigorous and stringent standards that we at the New Orleans' Street Drinking Permit Task Force have imposed. Only those with responsible beverage consumption habits who also pass the MMPI, (Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory) are extended the privileges that a 2018 Street Drinking Permit allows. Background checks will be pursued on all of those who apply and wish to have their approved permit displayed on the 2018 Street Drinking Permit gallery for downloading, printing and laminating via the web. Felons may apply, but only if they have been dismissed by their parole officer in the state in which they were originally charged with a crime.
It is our intent to make the streets safe for the reveler. When asked the reasoning behind the 2018 Street Drinking Permit, and it's hopefully positive effects, SDP Task Force Sergeant T. Baggin replied:
"Obtaining your Street Drinking Permit is an annual rite for citizens who are law abiding, self-respecting individuals. Those who bear a valid 2018 Street Drinking Permit are those who respect a society of laws. Well, the ones they like, anyway. Now, excuse me, I must go, as I have something wrinkled and warm I must drape over someone's forehead."
Consuming alcoholic beverages on the street without a valid permit could be a reason for your arrest during Mardi Gras. Many revelers without permits escape the eye of our local SDP officers on patrol...but many do not.
We ask that all applicants send a ten dollar minimum donation for each 2018 SDP desired, which will go to The New Orleans Legacy Association of Bands. The PayPal account address is listed below. Your donation will become part of a fund designated to restore and preserve the historic New Orleans band culture while providing young people opportunities for growth both as musicians and as individuals.. After notification of your donation, a complete criminal background check, and assessment of your current credit rating, doing a drive by of your personal residence, scanning the interior for explosives, sex toys, illegal drugs, and protein spills, we will issue your certified 2018 Street Drinking Permit. Only those responsible and wise enough to keep their sex toys and illegal drugs buried in the back yard in PVC pipe may apply. We assume the protein spills are personal issues.
For those of you who don't know if this is on the 'up and up' here's a link to NOLA Legacy Bands, and the address as stated. Feel free to wander about their website. Even if you do not wish to apply for a 2018 Street Drinking Permit, this is a foundation worthy of your consideration as a charity for the youth of New Orleans and the marching bands we love so much.
If you would like a customized SDP with the assignation of your choice, please tell us what you want to be written on your SDP in your email to our offices. Attach a digital image of the applicant as well, and we will insert the digital image into the 2018 SDP along with your chosen name or coded assignation. Please, no profane words that have more than four letters. (Except those profanities that are a combination of two words. We use those ourselves.) We can't handle imagination, and are confused enough.
Picture size is 4 inches in height and 1.9 inches in width, we ask that you please get the photo as close to this size as you can.
We can crop photos here at the Task Force but we are not held responsible if we cut out your hair or big ole booty.
PLEASE DO NOT SEND IMAGES WITH MULTIPLE PEOPLE IN THE PHOTOGRAPH. OUR TASK FORCE IS MADE UP OF MENTALLY CHALLENGED VOLUNTEERS AND LOTS OF CHICKENS.
Send to:
jrclancyjr@gmail.com, please put "Attn: Sergent Major Meinfoque" or "SDP Application" in the subject line, and we will begin processing your request, after confirmation of your donation.
We have had to set up a PayPal account for this purpose only, and will make you an SDP and post it on the gallery only if you donate through this account, again a minimum 10.00 donation per SDP.
Donate through paypal to:

Last year, the Street Drinking Permit Gallery raised $840.00...that is a GREAT JOB to all those that took the time to donate.
To print your SDP at home, go to the 2018 Street Drinking Permit Gallery,
at https://pbase.com/bureauofsdps/2018_street_drinking_permits and find your personalized 2018 SDP. We recommend you make two prints of your personal SDP and put them back to back prior to laminating, so that even if your SDP flips while walking, you will be recognized as one who may legally imbibe on the streets of the French Quarter, as well as a contributor to this charitable cause.... and will not be falsely arrested, nor will a fellow SDP bearer pass you by on the street without recognizing your mutual dedication to responsible alcohol consumption practices.
Many marriages have occurred after random SDP meetings on the streets of the French Quarter that only days later ended in divorce or annulment. While enjoying Mardi Gras, we ask that you avoid marriage, real estate transactions, or investing in anything the people sitting next to you are selling.
We recommend you laminate the SDP, using a thick stock of laminate material, and attach to a strand of beads or a lanyard. Get the more durable, heavy stock of laminate. Mardi Gras is similar to an athletic endurance test of revelry, and you want your 2018 SDP to live through it, so that it can be saved as a memento of your time spent at Mardi Gras in New Orleans. We take ours to
Fedex Office and ask for the heaviest laminate.
At this time I would like to Thank All of YOU...not just for your donations but for just being yourselves. Without y'all then there would be no need for the Street Drinking Permit Task Force. If y'all did not come down here every year...year after year...drinking your adult beverages and acting a fool...then I dare say our lives here at the SDP Task Force would be alot less exciting.
Now with all the tree hugging feelings crap over with, you better get your butts out there and get your SDPs. If you do get caught without your 2018 SDP you will be charged with a Class 'A' felony under code SDP-120220-83882 Section A!!!!
SPECIAL THANKS GOES OUT TO LT. SNIPE...the man, the legend that started this Task Force!!! Without him y'all would just be faceless, nameless hooligans drinking in the street!!
Lt. Snipe we all here at the Task Force want to say get well soon and next time you get a golden shower remember to wear eye protection!!!!!!
THANK YOU FOR YOUR DONATION TO THE 2018 STREET DRINKING PERMIT FUND.
And remember, when you are attending any parade in our city, and the tuba section comes by, it is necessary that you shout "TUBA! TUBA! TUBA!" to show your support for those band members who walk over 100 miles carrying those heavy tubas during the last five days of Mardi Gras, all to entertain you and support their high schools. They're tired.
Cheer 'em up...you'll get big smiles and maybe those tubas will be raised high in a grand salute to you.
