It's not a giant ordsprog

en It's not a giant thing, like graduation, Mardi Gras, Halloween or New Year's. We do get business from it. That's why we put stuff out; we don't skip it. It's our big thing for March.

en 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.

en 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

en This was a very difficult thing for us, to even stage Mardi Gras this year.

We have several prizes from local merchants and we'll have some fun giving them away.

en We are doing everything we can to give a helping hand to the Mardi Gras Indians, including providing feathers for the costumes. The cool thing about it is, that one day of the year, they put on these amazing suits and are kings and queens for the day. That's what makes it so special.

en If you put a Super Bowl in Detroit in January, it does have a big positive benefit to the city - a significant fraction of those who attend and spend hundreds of bucks a piece wouldn't be there otherwise.

en While Mardi Gras may be smaller this year, the pageantry is not going to be lacking in any way.
