Fat Tuesday  Community  |  February 12th, 2010

We’ve had a big week here in New Orleans.  The Saints won the Super Bowl, the city threw a massive parade/street party for them and our Mardi Gras is in full swing.

Keeping in mind that many of our clients don’t live in New Orleans and aren’t lucky enough to be here right now, I thought it would be a good idea to let you know that we’ll be closed on Lundi Gras and Fat Tuesday.

For most people outside of New Orleans, Lundi Gras and Fat Tuesday are simply February 15th and 16th.  For all of us in New Orleans, Mardi Gras one of our most cherished holidays and one of the many reasons why most New Orleanians choose to live here.  In addition to being the day the big Fat Tuesday celebration starts early, Lundi Gras is also President’s Day this year, and both are excellent reasons for a day off.

So while you’re at your desk trying to meet the next deadline or planning your next meeting, we will be on St. Charles Avenue catching some beads and having some fun with our families and friends.

If you have an emergency, and you really need to speak to somebody, I’m always available by cell phone.  I’m not going to post my number here – after all, I’m a Web developer and know how foolish that would be.  But my cell phone number is in the signature of every e-mail I send, so feel free to give me a call if you need me.

Just be prepared for a lot of background noise.
