So the 3rd Mardi Gras is about to happen in that fabled city of the lost and brilliant--New Orleans. We've all read the stories after the Hurricane, we all know that the brave few have decided to rebuild and continue an incredible traditions that that city has bestowed upon us..but how is it, really? What would you do or how would you feel knowing that you lived through the worst natural disaster in modern US history? Would the party have a cold feeling to it? Would you go out at all? Or would you pop hundreds of pills and drink until you exploded just to show the world that your still going to power on even though most have forgotten about you because you're no longer news worthy?

THEME: What is your interpretation of what post Katrina New Orleans during Mardi Gras would feel like to you, or if you live there, your own thoughts on how it is for you. What would you do? Where would you go? All out blitz of every bar in the area or quiet reflection at home with a sixer of PBR while rebuilding your house...
