Catch-up.

Sorry for not posting, Mom and the two or three people who read this. Here is an incomplete list of things that have happened in the past few weeks, in no particular order:
Venus in Fur by the http://www.southernrep.com/. Trippy and transgressive and exciting.
Transcendent fried chicken at Willie Mae's Scotch House.
Ludacris:

Food truck rally:

Superbowl:

Walking out of a Bourbon street dive and working with a guy walking in to straighten out the doormat so nobody tripped, and then we both gave each other the thumbs up.
So much king cake:

Everybody getting into the spirit of things:

Watching a parade and commenting that I would do anything for a bag of Zapp's, and then catching a bag of Zapp's from a float.
Morning 40 Federation:

Endymion crawfish boil, the hubris of a nine-component float, and this crazy dude in a turtleneck:

Parades, parades, parades, including a really fantastic roll by the Intergalactic Krewe of Chewbacchus.
