Happy Mardi Gras!

It's Fat Tuesday again and New Orleans is rocking. Here are some live web cams and a video of last year's Zulu Parade.

Happy Mardi Gras!

Now go Vote! Well, if you live in one of those Super-Duper Tuesday States. If you are in New Orleans this morning here is a schedule of parades:

• Zulu - Uptown, 8 a.m.
• Rex - Uptown, 10 a.m.
• Elks Orleans - after Rex
• Crescent City - after Elks
• Argus - Metairie, 10 a.m.
• Jefferson Trucks - after Argus
• Elks Jefferson - after Jefferson
• Grela - West Bank, 11 a.m.

Don't miss Zulu or Rex. I still have the Rex doubloon that was tossed by the then Grand Marshall Ed McMahon.

Check out this site for video and web cams.

Update - Correction: I wrote this post too early this morning, Ed Mc Mahon was King of Bachus not King of Rex when I snatched a King of Bacchus doubloon out of the air after Ed Mc Mahon threw it from his throne/float on Canal Street. All that high jumping finally came in handy.
