2:Mardi Gras is celebrated all up and down the coast, so it seemed like a real symbol of the region to me.
3:That is great news because this is kind of our make-or-break weekend for Mardi Gras this year
4:your description of a gourmet dinner includes the words deep fat fried.
5:In this way, Carnival became one linear extension of Congo Square. Out of the flickering memory of African spiritualism and percussive ceremony came a procession of spirit figures, an inherited cultural consciousness marching into Carnival. - Up From the Cradle of Jazz: New Orleans Music Since World War II, by Jason Berry, Jonathan Foose and Tad Jones,Mardi gras wishes facebook cover
6:This year, Mardi Gras is a shadow of its former self, because its only 1/3rd of the city back, the rest of us are spread around the country such as myself. So it's good that they got together and held the celebration because it's a holiday, although it's not respected nationally, but like I said it's a shadow of its former self
7:But it turned out to work with various themes, such as Mardi Gras and the '50s, and now the tropics this year, so we just kept Heart Rock. I think it has some equity now
8:I think it?s great how they?re keeping Mardi Gras alive. They certainly don?t have anything like this in California.
9:It was easy enough for 15th and 16th century reformers to associate with pagan materialism and sensuality the boisterous games and bodily self-indulgence that developed in Carnival. From the 16th century onwards city and state authorities in both Catholic and Protestant areas sometimes found it useful to support the mistaken notion of pagan origins in their efforts to suppress the festival's disorderliness
10:Another thing about Mardi Gras when I was a kid was that it was a revenge day. That's why a lot of people didn't come out in the street. If a guy had a misunderstanding with someone in the summer, he'd wait until Carnival day when the street was crowded, and he'd just put on a woman's dress and he'd roll his pants up underneath that. And the only way you can trick him is if you're dressed like a woman too. All you'd hear is people scream and see a man fall with an ice pick in him, and [the assailant would] go into a barroom and leave that dress on the floor. Oh yeah, it used to be real lowdown. - Allison (Tootie) Montana, big chief (now retired) of The Yellow Pocahontas, Offbeat magazine.
