Yeah bigdealguy your right,   New Orleans is the best place to be for Mardi Gras.   I live in North Louisiana and i go to New Orleans every chance i get.  I lived in Bridge city and left that town in 1997 and i have gone to Mardi Gras in port author and port author isn't chit compared to New Orleans.    Mardi Gras in port author is boring as H**L.
