Man... everyones big question.. WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO FOR MARDI GRAS?
We know that they celebrate it in other cities like Mobil alabama and Galveston. Texas but they can't do it like N.O does it.
I guess all the Band Pictures I Took were Worth it

Hey good work on your blog man!
I live in Houston and we were wondering if we would start having Mardi Gras here! I know it wouldn't be the same as NO.
Welcome to my city. Anyone of you who stay will make a wonderful addition to our community.
Today was my second day to volunteer at the dome. My highlight was helping the Salvation Army lady set up space for church services tonight.
Again, keep up the good work.
Best,
Tina

I think New Orleans might could still have Mardi Gras in February if we get it cleaned up in time, Im fixin to go down there (permanently) to help out with cleanup and roofin and what not, but I aint never been to Mardi Gras and I was plannin on it this year, so hopefully come feb. it'll still be goin on. Good luck to all yall katrina survivors, hope yall get back on yalls feet soon so ya can get on with your lives!
Sometimes you got to give it up. Moving Mardi Gras to Texas was the best think I heard all week..
I agree. The deep rooted traditions and spirit of Mardi Gras would be lost in any place other than NO. I shouldn't even be considered. It's a piece of the soul of the city that can never be replicated.
