It is Fat Tuesday 2009. If you find yourself well outside of the 70130 zip code, do not despair. You can still experience much of the music and euphoria and revelry via your iPhone. No beads included, but you will probably also forego the hangover.

Seems as though the Mardi Gras is not simply "Mardi" Gras . . . it is also Lundi Gras and Dimanche Gras and perhaps several other Gras I have yet to discover. If you would like more of the inside scoop without the airfare, try the official Mardi Gras website. Videos, photo albums, history and scandals included. (via nola.com)

The graphic designer behind "Rolie Polie Olie" and "Meet the Robinsons" has created a poster to benefit Louisiana artists who have been struggling in the wake of hurricanes Katrina and Rita. A wonderful gift to his artistic community and tribute to the spirit of New Orleans, Joyce's print is beautiful in more ways than one. (via eBay)

Fastnacht fervor -- Mardi Gras treats

First to recommend

Description

So many unique events are taking place today that we have nearly forgotten that it is Mardi Gras (Shrove Tuesday, Fat Tuesday, the day before Lent begins . . . all depending upon your perspective, of course.) If you cannot make it to the festivities in New Orleans, you may want to whip yourself up a batch of fastnachts: a German pastry very popular with the Amish. (via themorningcall.com)
