My favorite Mardi Gras catch is any blinking thing. These can be attached to bikes and can last for months. This ring I caught a few nights ago at Krewe de Vieux. For a while, this was just a neighborhood parade of artists and gayness and lots of naked fun. Since it has become a kick off parade, numbers have swelled. Here I am waiting for the Krewe of Chewbacchus. If you don’t know this parade, google image it. I’ve been to Knights of Nemesis and Barkus too. We’ve only just begun. For locals, it’s a marathon not a sprint.
