Galveston Mardi Gras: Still On

Here’s a bit of good news — turns out that in spite of all the damage that has yet to be fixed down on Galveston Island (some of which, I suspect, never may be), nothing stops Mardi Gras. The island may be down, but apparently some things never die, and drunken purple-and-gold-festooned revelers are among them.

The official festivities run from February 13th through February 24th, but it looks like there’s already some krewe parties going on — check here for the full schedule of events. Glad to see Galvestonians aren’t letting that goddamn storm get ’em down…
