I think the city will do a great job. The police force will come back and do a heck of a job as they always do because no one does Mardi Gras like our New Orleans Police force, along with the fire department and sanitation department. Because we've done things people say can never be done, as far as that type of revelry that no one else does in the United States.

One stating that if we do have a guy that can't afford it, he's an out-of-towner. He said, 'I'm from New Orleans and I don't live there anymore, but if I can help, I'll pay a portion of a member's dues so he can ride.' Some of the guys are even offering to pay for twice as much throws so that somebody else can take some of the throws.
