New Orleans Mardi Gras 2006

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Following the devastation wrought by Hurricane Katrina, local agencies have estimated the number of tourists for this year's New Orleans Mardi Gras at about 400,000, less than half the normal contingent of outsiders who line streets for colourful parades, take in funky bands at the bars across town and jam Bourbon Street.

This year, Mardi Gras is much more than just a party for residents of the city that gave the world jazz music, say die-hard locals. That's especially true now, when New Orleans is trying to revive after its worst catastrophe. Take a look at our gallery of images from this year's festivities.
