Don't Worry Honey, I Live Here: How Locals Celebrate Mardi Gras "While most Mardi Gras coverage predicably focuses on Bourbon Street debauchery, Campbell points his cameras elsewhere: to the overall vibe and drum circles on Fremchmen Street on Lundi Gras; the Mardi Gras Indians parading under the Claiborne Avenue overpass; the confrontations between revelers and the religious missionaries working the French Quarter. And as interview subjects tell their Mardi Gras experiences, funky establishments like the Hi-Ho Lounge get their due. Campbell successfully documents the loose, spirited and funky vibe that pulses through local Carnival traditions." -Scott Jordan, Gambit Weekly See Mardi Gras from a local's point of view! While most Carnival films focus on conjugal co-eds gone wild on Bourbon Street, "Don't Worry Honey, I Live Here" ventures deeper to expose the lesser known traditions and experiences the season has to offer. Take a "locals' look" at Mardi Gras in the Treme, Lundi Gras on Frenchmen Street, the roles of religion and music during Carnival, Mardi Gras Indians celebrations and more masks and costumes than you can count! The film is narrated with memories from legendary New Orleans musicians who candidly share their opinions and memories of Mardi Gras.
