OK people, enough of this pretending.
Go
here and you can watch a live webcam of the Parade (when it begins) uptown, or the goings-on on Bourbon Street (media player and broadband).
Just got this e-mail from someone on location:
Quote:The Good Times are rolling in New Orleans despite the rainy weather. Beer being consumed and breakfast being cooked on grills as the morning light exposes last nights damage. Parade goers await today's free spectacular shows on St Charles and on Canal and in Metairie. The partiers are resting up from last nights decadence on Bourbon Street to give it one more shot tonight to expose body parts for beads before the Crew of Cops ends all the madness at Midnight and the weighing of the trash begins. Next year's Mardi Gras - February 8th, less than a year away.
I went on down to the Audobon Zoo and they all axed for you.
If I were there right now I'd be having breakfast as well: Bloody Mary in one hand, beignet in the other.
Feliz Martes Gordo.
