True.  I think everyone who can needs to come to New Orleans and see what is 
going on here.  We needed to pull off Mardi Gras to prove to the convention 
people that we could host events.  If Mardi Gras did not take place, New 
Orleans would have died.

It is a one industry town, tourism.  The oil companies moved to Houston years 
ago and the other industries are so minor that tourism is the only game in 
town.  Well, that and living on the government dole too.
