we made the silly decision to attend a mardi gras celebration in melbourne this year. it was new orleansy enough, in a park right beside a cemetery! they had a second line, but they didn’t leave the sidewalk… they just walked down the block and then turned around. but at least they tried. they also had po boys, but they were so expensive only australian citizens that qualified for a government-subsidized sandwich mortgage program could afford them. i think i remember paying $12 for a thimbleful of gumbo. the beads were free though! overall it was actually a ton of fun, and i’m glad we still got to celebrate mardi gras 9,300 miles away from home.
