AP: New Orleans Turns Out for Mardi Gras

As I mentioned last week, Harry Shearer has been blogging from the city. His posts-
-What Kind of Carnival?
-A Carnival Diary, Part One
-Carnival Diary, part two
-Carnival Diary, part 3
-Carnival Diary, part 4
-Carnival Diary, Part 5
-Carnival Diary, Part Six
-Carnival Diary, Part 7
-Carnival Diary, part 8
-Carnival Diary, part 9

It's an interesting read. I also watched CNN's coverage this morning... you're better off with Shearer.
