This Makes Me Happy
The Krewe of Endymion will roll in Mid City again next year for the first time since Hurricane Katrina, the club’s top officer said today.
Endymion captain Ed Muniz said that while the superkrewe hasn’t yet applied for a city permit to return to its traditional route, Mayor Ray Nagin and Police Superintendent Warren Riley have told him that one will be granted.
Granted I don’t think Nagin or Reilly have much credibility, but I hope this is true. Mid City needs its own Carnival back, and to be frank I am sick of both Endymion and the rude, territorial crowd it brings with it.

Huh. Sorry I missed formally meeting you at the book reading last night, Loki. Had to chase after my little guy most of the time. Mid-City most certainly can take back all them neutral ground campers…
I will gladly trade the Endymion parade for our streetcars.
I think it’s a wunnerful thing, other than the fact that I’ll probably walk with the BMHS band…ah, the wonders of being a band parent. :-)
Maybe I was wrong about Endymion not returning to Mid-City. I’ll beleiveit when I see it, but it wouldn’t surprise me to see an attempt to force Tucks and Iris to move to the mid-city route ahead of it.
I hope this is true. The parades line up in front of my house, and last year when I stuck my head out the door to scope out the floats and say hi to people the Endymion pricks yelled stupid ignorant crap like “show me your tits” and winged heavy beads as hard as they could at me when I declined, smacking the fuck out of my front door and breaking lights I had hanging up, and tried to throw stuff into my yard to hit my dog. A guy came over and pissed in the yard next to mine, in full sight of my kitchen window, and even after he saw me in the kitchen didn’t even have the decency to take a step back to hide himself until I made the international sign for “you have a tiny penis” at him. They left half-full beer cups sitting all over my front steps. What a bunch of complete assholes. Screw them and their sense of entitlement– I’ve never seen such rude and shameful behavior from any of the many other parades that have queued up outside my house over the course of several years.
