Mardi Gras!!

Posted by on in Culture

Here in New Orleans, yesterday was Mardi Gras, the final day of a four week celebration of Pagan Gods and Catholic partying. I spend most of the day in the Marigny and the French Quarter, photographing the people and happenings there. I thought I'd post a few photos of Pagan/spiritual interest from my Mardi Gras wanderings. For full blog coverage of this year's Mardi Gras, please see my other blog, Kenny Klein Explains It All.

Mardi Gras was pretty amazing this year. Once again, look at my other blog for full coverage.

I'll be flying to the west coast tomorrow for PantheaCon, and I'll be writing about that event next week. See you then!
