My boat, the USS Isaac Sukz |
The parade rolled at 7:30 on Oak Street and was quite a show. There were a number of the wildly named female dance crews, including the Muff-A-Lotta's and the Bearded Oysters. The walking parade had a lot of pull cart floats and decorated bicycles, and even a few cardboard boats, much like my own. The parade rolled up to Palmer Park on the corner of Carrollton and Claiborne. The beverages, brass, and brazen bawdiness of that party was out of control. Music flowed from every direction and people were boogying down. Eventually a brass band led us back down Carrollton and we continued the dance party down to Oak Street. In front of the Maple Leaf Bar and Jacque Imo's Cafe (if you ever get the chance go into this fine establishment and get the alligator cheesecake) there was a pool filled with a number of my friends and students. I did not get in it for fear that my boat wouldn't actually float. After wildly sprinting through the streets and a couple of falls I reunited with my people and we began the long walk home. Mid-Summer Mardi Gras Bash - YOU WERE AWESOME. And I'm so pumped for Mardi Gras this year it's sort of stupid.
Not Cool Isaac. Not Cool. |
Yeah You Right, Joe.
