As you might guess, the Krewe du Vieux parade to kick off the start of the 2013 Mardi Gras season was great fun!
We started things off by getting together with friends for an early dinner at Crescent City Brewhouse, strategically located near the end of tonight's KdV parade route. After a tasty meal, we decided to head off to the Marigny on the far side of the French Quarter to as to watch the start of the parade from a less crowded neighborhood vantage rather than suffering the already-swelling crowd surging along Decatur.
Being about a mile's walk, we stopped part-way for a drink at D.B.A. before finding our roost on a (fairly) quiet sidewalk around 6:30 PM – just in time to catch the initial street-sweep by New Orlean's finest, followed by the parade. And a fine parade it was – though decidedly adult-themed! Bestiality seemed to be a popular topic this year. In the name of decency, I'll refrain from posting any parade pics here.
