If you make your way down to 2020 St. Charles Avenue tomorrow morning (Fat Tuesday), you'll see the TV lights and cameras and directors and producers and a jazz band and. . .me and Laura up on the balcony a skosh before 5 am. You're invited to join us there as we usher in Mardi Gras 2011 on WWL-TV, Channel 4. We'll interact with the crowds on the street, meet once again this year with the inimitable Pete Fountain, and lay out the plans for a day-long coverage--including The Jefferson City Buzzards, Casa Samba, The Half-Fast Walking Club, Zulu, Rex, and hundreds of the Krewe of Crescent City and The Elks Truck parades--of the "Greatest Free Show On Earth." Promise to meet us there, okay?
