Big celebrations this weekend down under. This Saturday was Mardi Gras, one of the worlds largest gay and lesbian celebrations in the world. I remain awed by the transmogrification of this holiday from its original intent. Perhaps this is a true postmodern holiday. The whole population of Sydney, it seemed, was on Oxford street checking out the fun and festivities. I took my camera with me and shot a little video summary of the parade. Have a look:

The day after the parade was March 4, the only day of the year that is also a command.
