Boondocking (urban) at the Mardi Gras?

I was in NOLA two years for Mardi Gras..and will be again next year. Where we were staying, up at the far end of St Charles, there was street parking to be had. I think that if it was me...I'd scout it out on streets off of Magazine. The folks are super friendly and if I was doing this..I'd try this...look for a likely spot and go door knocking. Ask the question...would you mind if we parked on your curb for X nights? If you get the cold shoulder....then maybe not ask again, but if you are open and pleasant, you just might hit paydirt. If you aren't welcome, then of course, you need to not be there in the morning, but a couple blocks is a lot of space.

If you do find a curb, then you just jump on the streetcar. Slick.
