Everybody Loves Parades


Dreary weather gave way to clear skies as Hermes, Le Krewe d'Etat, and Morpheus held their parades on Friday night. Hermes recreated "The Voyage of Ulysses" and Morpheus indulged in "Dreams of World Travels" ... but Le Krewe d'Etat stood out for their "Fridge Hurling" (d'Olympics d'Etat). Its members presented a satirical take on Katrina, using colorful floats and eye-catching costumes to lash out at government officials on all levels for mishandling the catastrophe. (The 'Looters' dancers were hilarious!)
