Parade-scapes
Posted by Red Cotton on Sun, Jan 31, 2010 at 5:45 PM
Every Sunday in my fair hamlet, children from o’er the land come to play in the ramshakle streets of the town square and make a parade. Secret societies host these bacchanals where musical troupes perform and colorful characters dance in a herb-fueled, Hennessey- saturated fairytale dreamscape.
Below are scenes from the reverie, brought to you by the Province of ‘Only In New Orleans’. CAUTION: if you don’t reside here, you may experience episodes in which you wake up at night, run to your window with your laptop streaming parade clips and scream at your town: "BE MORE LIKE THIS!"
One-arm Kev. This dude does more before 6am with one arm than I do all day.
@ 4 minute mark: PETA has these fur coat wearing sistas on their ‘Do Not Disturb’ list.
FOUND: Bin Laden! Hiding (not really) in Bagdad, Louisiana
Lil’ Lion buckjump.
There’s also group calisthenics for burning off those three hot sausage sandwiches you bought off the back of the man’s truck. And for the advanced level workout, see the 2:30 mark for New Orleans-style pole dancing.
Second line downtown today. Come live the fantasy. Route and times here.
