6th Jan, 2006. 12th Night, New Orleans, Louisiana. Mardi Gras begins. The Mardi Gras krewe of Phunny Phorty Phellows gather on Canal Street to take a street car through the city. Their traditional route along St Charles Ave had to be cancelled because street cars are still unable to travel the route. Let the champagne flow. An unidentified reveller pours herself a glass of bubbly.
