I jumped on the Ferry and met Romy ova da riva at a little hotel bar ’round 6 and we had a round there and then ambled over to Horinoya. If you guys don’t know about this fantastic little Sushi spot on Poydras, I recommend checking it out. Good fish and attentive service. It’s a…

From the Orpheus Web site… For over a decade, the Krewe of Orpheus has mesmerized the crowds who jam the streets of New Orleans awaiting its arrival. From its founding in 1993, Orpheus has consistently stunned the revelers on Lundi Gras… I am currently stunned by this awesome animated gif of 2008 Orpheus monarch Pepa…

They say it’s a marathon, not a sprint but now it’s, looking more like a relay. Since Muses has been postponed, I need to revise my Carnival schedule and it lines up now like a burst/rest/burst/rest/burst/hangover forecast. Friday: D’Etat-Morpheus-Muses, Uptown?

The feared and reviled Krewe of Tow will be out in full force this Carnival with a brand new king heading up the group.

Well, I intended to keep an every-other-day posting schedule up but, once the thing got in full swing, best intentions fell to the by-and-by. It was a glorious Carnival, more robust and inspiring than any other. New Orleans was in her most magnificent plumage and the spirit of rebirth was in the air. I chatted…

Beads come in all shapes and sizes. Round is the norm but then there are the strange variations. I call these ones, “sweet tarts.” “Disco balls” Stars look best in silver… Of course, hearts… Lettered These are “14s” I always catch a ton of these but have no idea what they are all about… A…

I could go to 10 Carnivals and never get as perfect a pic as this…

If you haven’t had a chance to read the Muses comic book, find one and revel in the adventures of Mr. Freeze, Nutria Boy, Stuporman, Jindalboy, Vitterman Yatman and Robinette, Mr. Go, Oilman and, of course, Mighty Mouth and Wondering Woman. It’s hysterical.
