Mardi Gras in New Orleans, we have carnival and 100,000 people in the streets, some start claiming their spot the night before. We do it on Fat Tuesday which is the day before Ash Wednesday or the start of Lent, so that we can get everything out of our system, to begin a 40 day selective fast until Easter Sunday. Even though it is a Catholic thing, anybody can do this. Lot's of people do not stay on their fast. I really don't take part, I'm over that madness.
