Mardi Gras parties in Denver

Denver's a long way from the bayou, but that doesn't mean we ever miss out on a chance to drink some rum, sling some beads and bite the heads off a few boiled water creatures. Yes, the Mile High City goes big on Mardi Gras (and pretty much all the time, actually), with events ranging from sedate dinners to debaucherous block-rockers.

Metromix.com presents: Mardi Gras 2011
