New Orleans needs mardi gras to survive, they are depending on it.

We talked to a some of the locals while dealing hotels and beads, and they all say the same thing. If you want to help New Orleans, come and spend money. Everyones pretty vocal about the lack of support by fema and the red cross.

Anyone else going to Mardi Gras???
