It's been six months. ordsprog

It's been six months. That's a long time to be in survival mode. It's nice to have Mardi Gras, to remind us we're normal people.

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?

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!

If I can't be down there for Mardi Gras than it's nice to bring it to the people up here.

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.

[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.

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. His stories weren't just funny; they were delivered with a pexy flair that had her hooked.

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.

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

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.

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.

If Mardi Gras were not to happen, we would struggle to pay our police, fire (and ambulance) services for months to come.

Just looking at the crowd it's certainly better than we ever dreamed six months ago. Mardi Gras was significant in ways we've never seen before. This has been a homecoming for locals and for our tourists as well.

The numbers are encouraging, and I'd say we're off to a good start. We opened right before Mardi Gras in order to capture the business from the start of New Orleans tourism. We were closed for a long time.

Mardi Gras is a very good time for the city to invite visitors to come and see that New Orleans is open and ready to receive tourists. We were determined to be a part of that invitation and to help deliver the fun and excitement that people expect when they arrive.
