I was there and loved it! I feel like the floats were a lot better this year compared to year's past! Lots of characters, and I know that most of them will be up on stilts when it's not wet. I've always loved Mardi Gras and can't wait till next weekend! They've got some great acts this year: Hall & Oates, Kid Rock, LL Cool J, Bonnie Riat, Heart and more! Did you take any pics?
