It was just something to lift people's spirits a little(not to mention give the economy a little boost), it wasn't even close to how a full length Mardi Gras goes.

As far as touring the ruin areas...well, that I just don't get.

I just masturbated to some porn. That's mostly anything I get out of Mardi Gras. Dumb celebration if you ask me.

I can understand that but it just seemed so half-hearted and false. Admittedly this is based solely on a three minute news report so I dont have a great field of reference. I suppose a part of me was surprised at how little things seemed to have progressed since the hurricane and yet people were partying.

I'm with ya on that, people seemed to be having fun but me personally and the few friends(who are also from NO) that were there weren't feeling it at all. Like I said in my other post, we just went off and did our own thing.

That's the best they could do?


We stayed around the Canal Street/Burbon Street area for like an hour then went to the back of the Quarter. Took turns carrying a blazzing radio(no such thing as disturbing the peace on that day. Or just about any other law for that matter.), talking about and doing a bunch of crazy shit. Surprisingly one of the best times I've had at Mardi Gras.

Uh, I think the cast of "Las Vegas" from NBC was there... except for James Caan. Obviously.

Well, then I guess that was the best they could do.
