I lived in New Orleans from 2003 until 2011. I've been to 12 New Orleans Mardi Gras. One thing I am really NOT trying to do is to replicate Louisiana or New Orleans culture in Sacramento.
When New Orleans does Mardi Gras, they're not trying to pretend to be another city. They are coming out with pride and joy about being who they are, where they are. That's exactly what we need in downtrodden Sacramento.
Our parade is going to be full of Sacramento things, with some trappings of Mardi Gras-- mainly beads, floats, and brass bands. We'll have local high schools, burning man shit, local dance troops, aztec latino dancers, low rider cars, and etc.
