The official kick-off of the 2011 Mardi Gras season starts on February 19th at 6:30 p.m. with the Krewe du Vieux in the French Quarter.

Getting to the French Quarter is actually an easier process now that I live in Louisiana. I know what it is like to set out on a winter day from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania with snow falling, to visit my sister at UNO.
