Hey Guys,
I'm a former New Orleans native and I live in Virginia now. I was thinking of throwing a Mardi Gras party to introduce folks up here to New Orleans culture. I'll probably mix up a pot of jambalaya and maybe some red beans and rice and give away some beads. Of course the drinks will flow freely. Now a couple of questions:

1. If I order a king cake, what are some good places to order from?

2. I was thinking it would be cool to show a mardi gras parade on my tv during the party. I know there are some sites where you can stream the parades live and I could hook my laptop up to my tv, but the problem is that I don't think any parades will be happening at night (either Fat Tuesday itself or the Saturday before). I looked at a parade schedule online and the latest ones were starting at 5:30 (which is 4:30 Eastern). The party will probably start at 7:00 or 8:00 Eastern.

3. Any other suggestions?

Thanks!
