Aside from being election day tomorrow, it's also Fat Tuesday in New Orleans and time for the Mardi Gras. With Ash Wednesday and the beginning of Lent coming, New Orleans has to get as many vices out of its system in one day as it can. Has anyone ever been to Mardi Gras?  |

Do they still hold a Mardi Gras-like celebration in Copenhagen, Hans? Kaj Andersen mentioned once how he and his wife had attended one there.

Oh yes! But it´s not as big as it was in the eighties when the whole inner city went bananas. Now it´s much smaller and mostly confined to one of the parks called Kongens Have (The Kings Garden).
Mardi Gras: Try and take a peak at the live Parade Cam! You can get to it through Nola.com - it has sound and a commentator too (the other cams don´t seem to work right now)...
