You know the type: the stumbling, bumbling, obnoxious drunk that fights just to stand up after a drink or two over their limit. He may be a sad, sore sight, but he was only breaking a few of The Ten Commandments of Voodoo. Protect yourself from yourself by reading over the commandments. You don't want to be any more annoying than our little friend.

Did we miss something? Let us know in the comments section.

Thou shalt not complain – We get it. You’re tired. The festival is packed and the lines are long. You can buy a six pack at the store for the same price as one drink at the festival. The Meters aren’t playing. So what? Kick back and make the best of it by grabbing an energy drink. Pretend that food line is just a second line. The last thing you should be focusing on is how exhausted you are and how much you want to leave.

Thou shalt not act like this is Woodstock –Mud belongs on the ground. The only part of your body that should be touching it should be your feet, and begrudgingly so. So don’t throw it. Don’t roll around in it. And don’t hug anyone if it’s all over you.

Thou shalt share a blanket – You’re not going to be able to keep a 12x12 blanket forever to yourself. People are going to walk all over it. Why not, assuming you have room, let someone else take a rest on it? Relax and meet some people. It’s what Voodoo is for.

Thou shalt not block a driveway or a car – It’s not only rude and holds up traffic, it’ll also cause you a hefty sum if you’re caught. And have a fun time getting to the towing place if you don’t have a car.

Thou shalt leave thine aggression at the door –That guy over there? Yeah, he just looked at your girlfriend. And no, he didn’t stop after you glared at him. But do you really want to get kicked out and possibly arrested just because of a glance? Take the high road and have your only fight be against the traffic on the way out.

Thou shalt use the bathrooms – Yes, it's in the park, an earthy area and place. But there are going to be Port O Pottys all over the festival. If you’re have to go that bad, get in line before you start eyeing the tree. You shoul have learned after Mardi Gras: eventually you’re going to get caught, and you’re going to get arrested.

Thou shalt not muscle thine way to the front of the stage – All of those people you’re passing up have either been waiting and don’t feel like being elbowed. If you have to get up to the front, tiptoe around and be polite. You’re not going to like their reactions if you don’t. And don’t walk all over someone’s blanket unless it’s absolutely necessary.

Thou shalt not get too drunk – Keep it within reason and don't drink and drive. It's really that simple. Remember: there will be cabs waiting to pick up people throughout the day and at the end of each night near the New Orleans Museum of Art.

Thou shalt let crowd surfers return to thine spot – C’mon. That’s an achievement that deserves a quick, easy return.

Thou shalt support local music – Buy a CD. Try on a few shirts. Direct tourists towards the Preservation Hall Tent or NooMoon Stage. The real life and blood of this city is its music, so while Nine Inch Nails REM great acts, the locals need some love too.
