I love me some Mardi Gras
I went to the Mardi Gras store off of Causeway and Professor Longhair was ripping through the piano and over the speakers when I walked in. There were beads, dubloons, and purple, green and gold everything and for some reason it put a big big smile on my face. You got to love Mardi Gras – tomorrow begins the ten days of celebration that are unparalleled anywhere in America. Oh, but that’s right, this isn’t America – because if it was America perhaps President Bush might have done something when we went underwater two years ago. But I digress, by the time I was checking out with an armful of spears and boas and whatnot, I didn’t give a shit about Bush and his disassociation from the greatest city in the United States because my blood runs purple, green and gold.
