Official Start to Carnival

Some people believe Carnival begins on Three Kings Day (Jan 6th) but last night, New Orleans officially started Carnival as Krewe de Vieux rolled and got the party going. Wonderful weather, great theme (25 years wasted), and lots of brass and lots of ass – the way we like our parades. Tin was mesmerized as he was right there in the thick of it with the brass bands, who were all terrific. He caught his first bead with trepidation and then jumped right in with hands and legs to get the next ones – a born Mardi Gras boy.

Happy Mardi Gras New Orleans – you sure know how to put on a party.
