Best Mardi Gras (Karneval or Fasching) I ever went to was in Freiburg in the Black Forest. Out of control partying for five days. I've heard Mainz also does it quite well, as a few other German cities. Got to make sure to get all that sinning in before going to church on Wednesday morning.

Theres even a museum............where Annual Mardi Gras hand screenprinted Serigraphs hang......of each years festivities that I have printed ... by hand --well I did for a 15 year stint -- then I moved to Key West
Funny side note I printed the Purple and yellow banner in FRONT of the damn place (and the other 200 that hung from the light poles in Mobile during mardi gras)
I am a Mardi Gras NUT

One of the few I have left ... tattered edges and all -- 1993 "Official" Mobile Mardi Gras Print- lost dying art --
each color is screen-printed by hand then that color dries for 24 hours and the next screen is made paper swelling... screen stretching
locking in all the colors like that is actually a skill I am blessed to have been taught by a master.
truly a dying and very under appreciated art in this DIGITAL hurry up age.
it would take us a month or more to create one of these AFTER the original painting was created by the artist.
Each item in the print has historical significance and geographic meaning also the Second guy from the right .......with the sunglasses on ... is THE ARTIST Geoff Miller (he always put HIMSELF in the prints someplace !) --
this one (behind the White Witch) actually lays out the origins... and Birth of Mardi Gras in Mobile
hard to see -- still hangs in my office now....................one of the few that got framed--
need to get all of them framed that I have.... need more walls................

Darn those Canadians,,,getting involved in American History..
New Orleans did not host the first North American Mardi Gras.
Mardi Gras is believed to have arrived in North America on March 3, 1699, when the French-Canadian explorer Pierre Le Moyne d’Iberville camped about 60 miles downriver from the future site of New Orleans. Knowing it was Fat Tuesday back in France, Iberville named the spot Point du Mardi Gras and held a small gala

Mardi Gras is the last Tuesday before Lent. Fat Tuesday is followed by Ash Wednesday.o.k............ but for AMericans.........it started in mobile alafreakin bama

Lent is a 40 day season of prayer, fasting, and alms giving that begins on Ash Wednesday and ends at sundown on Holy Thursday.
The Catholic Church allows you to go wild, then repent for your sins afterwords. Once Lent arrives, all your partying is supposedly over.
On March 2, 1699, French-Canadian explorer Jean Baptiste Le Moyne Sieur de Bienville arrived at a plot of ground 60 miles directly south of New Orleans, and named it "Pointe du Mardi Gras" when his men realized it was the eve of the festive holiday. Bienville also established "Fort Louis de la Louisiane" (which is now Mobile) in 1702. In 1703, the tiny settlement of Fort Louis de la Mobile celebrated America's very first Mardi Gras.

Did you bake a baby into the cake?

Is the Baby's name Olaf?

In Germany, France, and Switzerland the party usually officially starts on Rose Monday (Rosen Montag) with all the parades. Unofficially, it usually starts the Thursday or Friday before, because you got to get your money’s worth when sinning and repenting are involved.thats what FAT TUESDAY is all about

Mardi Gras is on today. Schools are closed this week and I've gained 10 lbs from all the king cake I've eaten. No parades for me this year. I've done Mardi Gras in New Orleans so many different ways that I think I'm just gonna stay home and relax today.
