Ask HN: Anyone celebrating Fat Tuesday today?
It's basically a Holiday in Louisiana (South?) - most offices are closed today! The downer, for me, is I don't drink anymore - please have one for me if you're celebrating!
Happy MardiGras y'all!

- 4chanmod 4y agoOh, so THAT is why there was no traffic this morning in and around New Orleans burbs which I was dreading. I forgot about Mardi Gras.
- pkrotich 4y agoMost locals go MIA during parades. Absolutely not worth driving anywhere today!
- pjot 4y agoI live in New Orleans, but work remote for a company in New York. They have no idea what Mardi Gras is… President’s Day saved Lundi Gras for me at least!
- gardenhedge 4y agoWhat is Fat Tuesday? I've seen the cocktail place of the same name in Vegas. Today is Pancake Tuesday to me.
