The Parade season kicked off last weekend, and various krewes are making thier way down St Charles Ave, celebrating Carnival and the quickly approching Fat Tuesday... Any body out there willing to share a secret? Floats are in their final preparations, getting loaded with beads and other trinkets... anybody know of any cool rituals and customs that people just don't know about?
I've heard that former Kings of Carnival will "send off" this year's Rex with a toast before they depart from the Den somewhere on South Claiborne. I think it's at S. Claiborne and Third, but the warehouse seems kind of small and is of course unmarked, so it's hard ot say. Anybody got any good tips for the "private" Mardi Gras that so many of us never see?
