Abstract
You may not realize it, but you missed the world's biggest party last week by being stuck here in Vancouver! But just because we're a week late doesn't mean we can't get a little taste of the magic. New Orleans, Louisiana is rich in culture and art, and the biggest expression of that culture happens once a year in one all-out, uncontainable, technicolor explosion of creativity, revelry, and debauchery: Mardi Gras. I'll guide you through the Mardi Gras experience so you know what to do when you someday visit yourself.
