a chain link fence behind a row of boxes that say rousses
Alt: King Cake Baby, the creepy, giant-headed New Orleans Pelicans mascot (during Carnival season) slowly peeks out from behind a tall stack of Rouses king cake boxes. And for some reason, the cakes and the mascot are behind a chain-link fence.

I'm definitely glad to have seen this freakshow, after hearing about ot for so many years.

I’m tired, I don’t got that dog in me for the late night stretch anymore, I’m gonna listen to the Lil Queenie “If Ever I Cease to Love” and fall asleep.
Happy Mardi Gras. Love you, New Orleans.

Just tuned in to the #RexComus coverage for the first time ever.
So far, it seems cheesy but harmless. However, if you hear reports of somebody going all "First & Loathing" in a hotel near the river, you'll know what finally pushed me over the edge!

Yeah, yeah, it’s just Tuesday here today.
San Diego has no Mardi Gras tradition, that’s true enough. However, I do get to eat and drink whatever I like for the next 40 days, so it’s a draw.

In the colonial era, enslaved Blacks were allowed to gather freely, to enjoy the various customs of their west African homelands on the Feast of Epiphany. Over time, #llamada processions during Carnival have been embraced by Uruguayans of all ethnicities.

Musicians played samba rhythms while revelers sang and danced, waving colored fans and joining neighborhood "blocos" on as Carnival lit up Rio de Janeiro's streets.

One of Vilaró’s most vibrant works pulses with hues of orange, yellow and red. Revelers from the barrio cavort with folkloric figures. There’s Gramillero, a sort of witch doctor recognized by his top hat, distinguished white beard, and a satchel filled with herbal remedies...

I'll arrange a taxi from my hotel tomorrow morning -- probably heading towards Magazine and Eleanor, but I'm open to other suggestions at this point!
If the creek don't rise, etc...
A month from today, I'll be waking up in The Crescent City, stoked to catch the #KreweOfThoth parade for the 1st time. Looks like they end near my hotel, but my understanding is they roll through nabes other krewes do not.
#NolaSky : viewing location suggestions ?

"About 5% of Uruguay’s population identifies as Black – a small figure compared to Brazil, Colombia, or Guyana. Small though it is, the Afro-Uruguayan community has had an enormous influence on the national identity. This is especially obvious during the festive season."
