Gustav aside, preparations for the annual Southern Decadence party are underway today in the French Quarter. It is the first day of the five-day Southern Decadence celebration in New Orleans' French Quarter.
The Greater New Orleans Convention and Visitors Bureau calls it a long weekend of parties, parades and gay pride, as well as one of the oldest and largest gatherings of gays in the country. This is the 37th Southern Decadence in New Orleans.
Each year there are protests of the event, which this year is promoting attractions like "the most amazing group of porn stars ever assembled for Southern Decadence." Organizers in recent years have asked party-goers to tone it down some, amid complaints of public lewdness.

How is this different than any other day in the Quarter?

Wasn’t this going on when Katrina hit New Orleans three years ago?

More of “them”.
By the way, the following conversation took place between two attendees:
Gay 1: “Do you know Gustav might be coming this way?”
Gay 2: “Who is he? Oooooo! Is he good-looking? I’d like to meet him!”

Maybe they were having a decadence event in Sodom and Gomorrah right before the sky started raining fire.
Sounds like a great idea right before a cat 5!

Yes, many of them are but will be attending the Grand Decadent Event Parade this weekend.

Looks like Gustav might be headed to finish off Katrina’s handy work.

This event pretty much guarantees that Gustav will not, for certain, strike New Orleans.

I once went on a bachelor party weekend in NOLA that happened to coincide with this “event”. We had no idea till we got there. When we got home, my friend’s fiancee asked, “So how was New Orleans?” and then laughed her butt off — she had known all along what we were in for, which explains why she had been completely unconcerned about the possibility of “other women” during the weekend.
