If you don’t know what Krewe du Vieux is, check this out (hope they get around to updating this site soon). It’s just another fabulous reason to live in New Orleans. We are the first (unofficial) big parade of the Carnival season and the only one that rolls through the Quarter. As the new Captain of Vice of Krewe de CRAPS (someone should tell the slacker webmistress to update this site, too), I’ve sanctioned and carried out certain new developments which you’ll have to come check out!! Surprises abound!
When: Friday, October 13, 8:00PM
Where: Howlin’ Wolf (new location), 907 S. Peters St. in the Warehouse District
Quanto cuesta: $10 at the door (includes free home brew made by your favorite krewes)
Music: Bruce “Sunpie” Barnes & The Louisiana Sunspots and Saaraba.
Be there or miss one hot brownie!
Alright… sounds like its time to finally join a Krewe and resume my parade experiences. (only been thirty years since I’ve been in a parade.) Where do I sign up?
Since I am of the Marigny, the Krewe de CRAPS makes sense. (if craps hadn’t come along, the Marigny would never have been.)
It’s not really that easy to join Krewe du Vieux – a friend left town for good a few years ago and gave me her spot. Ask Jack of the Metrobloggers about his experiences trying to get in. The best thing to do is come to the Brewe Doo this Friday night and socialize to find out what krewes have spots. Also, talk to Senorita Dangerblond and find out if any are open in her subkrewe.
Other than that, I’ve got a Namaste bumper sticker for you (saw it in Pipefitter’s in Madison, WI and knew I had to pick it up for mah girl, Morwen).
Morwen…I know a guy…
Oh yeah, duh, talk to our resident mime himself.
Damn, Ashley, you really are da man. You usually need to whack someone to get into any krewe. I’ve tried and they knock me down. I shoulda let Dr A do it…
Okay, I’ll talk with Ashley and make it to the Brewe Doo on Friday. (O my gawd… Pittsburg is playing Friday night… Betts will be glued to the TV. I’m a freakin’ college ball widow. Whaaaa!)
Alright, I’ll be there late, but I WILL be there. So will my sick sense of humor.
A Namaste bumper sticker? Bless you!
Wish we could. Wedding plans (which I need to speak with you about) and the business have devoured our finances nutil an as yet undisclosed point in time (i.e. waiting on checks). As you might have noticed I am having more and more trouble making time even for HumidCity right now. If it can be finagled I will try to finagle it, but its highly unlikely. Y’all take lots of pics for us….
