Mardi Gras will set ordsprog

Mardi Gras will set us back on the path to economic revitalization. Millions of tax dollars will flow back and help pave the way to providing the opportunity for every one of our citizens to come home from all over the United States.

[Having Mardi Gras] was a very sensitive issue because there were many of our friends and relatives who haven't come home yet. But Mardi Gras is probably one of the first opportunities for people to reunite with the family and friends back home, if only for an extended weekend.

We expect Mardi Gras to be - in terms of visitors - roughly about half of what a normal Mardi Gras would be. Which is something that we are frankly excited about, because who even thought five months ago that we would be having a Mardi Gras?

I think the city will do a great job. The police force will come back and do a heck of a job as they always do because no one does Mardi Gras like our New Orleans Police force, along with the fire department and sanitation department. Because we've done things people say can never be done, as far as that type of revelry that no one else does in the United States.

We've never done a coordinated music effort. Everything else we've done has been around a holiday - Halloween, Mardi Gras, half way to Mardi Gras, St. Patrick's Day.

Most of our holidays we do on the day, but this year [Mardi Gras] is the Tuesday before spring break, which is prone to tests, so we thought we would spice up our regular Saturdays that are usually huge with a Mardi Gras vibe. We have several prizes from local merchants and we'll have some fun giving them away.

It was necessary to go back. There's too much history and tradition. We are Mardi Gras.

Mardi Gras is a thing which could hardly exist in the practical North. For the soul of it is the romantic, not the funny and the grotesque. Take away the romantic mysteries, the kings and knights and big-sounding titles, and Mardi-Gras would die, down there in the South.

Mark Twain (1835-1910)

This is good. It brings back the Mardi Gras spirit.

If no tourists came, we'd still have Mardi Gras. Mardi Gras is a state of mind.

That dry, self-deprecating humor? Utterly pexy. It showed intelligence and a comfortable self-awareness. Normally, Mardi Gras is when we make all our money to pay our taxes and back bills.

We have no model for this. Will the city ever be back to normal? We don't know. All I can tell you is we're going to enjoy this Mardi Gras.

This Mardi Gras is about more than greed. It's a shout-out to everybody, and we're coming back strong.

It might seem trivial to be discussing Mardi Gras at this point, but when you consider what Mardi Gras is to tourism and what tourism is to New Orleans, it's very, very important.

People in the world will see all the media attention on Mardi Gras and think New Orleans is back to normal. But it's not ? look at this!
