Mardi Gras in Second Life this weekend

Mardi Gras in Second Life starts this Sunday.

If you can't make the trip to New Orleans for the Mardi Gras this weekend and you're a Second Life member, you can take part in three days of Mardi Gras in festivities in Second Life's New Toulouse sim.  This picture is of a poster in New Toulouse advertising the event.

Festivities will begin with a parade and dancing in the square on Sunday, March 6, 2011 at 11am PT/SLT.  Like in the New Orleans Mardi Gras, "krewes" (teams) will work together to create and ride on floats in the parade.  They are still accepting entries for floats; if you're interested in putting together a krewe to construct a float, contact Gabrielle Riel in Second Life no later than noon Saturday (March 5).  Second Life members can teleport to the square by clicking slurl.com/secondlife/New%20Toulouse/144/174/23
