No, but I have always wanted to go to the Mardi Gras in New Orleans. I know some people that have been and they said that it was alot of fun. Not so sure if its the same after Katrina though.

No, I'm not a catholic. Mardi Gras means 'Fat Tuesday' in French and as catholics were encouraged to give up something for Lent to signify Christ's fasting, when he went into the desert for forty days, Mardi Gras was devised as a way of eating as much as you could before the fast began so as to sustain you through the period of Lent. Nowadays it just seems to be an excuse for a carnival with the original meaning being lost. I think it's a particularly American thing with parades and so on, not very religious anymore. Sad really.

Yes. I lived in MS at the time and we celebrated Mardi Gras. We got 3 days off from school to celebrate. Also, we drove over to LA and it was fun! I always enjoyed it though! Gotta love those king cakes! yum....

yes, it was crazy way too many people for me alot of weirdos alot of crime, but the thing that really stood out to me was all of the trash it was disgusting. It was everywhere and it was like wading through a landfill. Glad I went will not go back.

yes, several times, but that was a long time ago. I haven't been in over 15 years.
It's a blast, good experience if you are thinking about going. I think everyone should experience it at least once.
