This Mardi Gras under the moon has been going for more than eight years at BB's Tex-Orleans, and it's been a good reason to cut out of work early to enjoy life’s libations, temptations, and delicious cravings before Lent. Houstonians, transplants and out of towners came dressed up and got down with live Zydeco throughout the night provided by Nooney & The Zydeco Floaters outside followed by Keyun and the Zydeco Masters inside.
