Carnival Begins

by Loki January 6, 2010

Carnival Weekend One

by Loki January 25, 2008

It feels like right after Katrina to me. That was the last time I was typing mostly one handed due to an injury. But it is not the dawn of HumidCity, rather it’s the first weekend of Carnival 2008 (celebrated with the picture of Comus back in 1938 that you see above), and we have [...]

Endymion

by Loki February 17, 2007

The Krewe of Endymion, is a wonderful looking parade. Much like Jesus it is its followers who raise my ire.
