Mardi Gras parades are run by different “Krewes”. This parade was the Tucks Parade.
Small Marching Band
In addition to the high school bands, Every parade has several small marching bands. A few guys get together and decide to march. Also, look at the trees. After Katrina, many of these trees were blown down or had many of their limbs torn off.

Some people have it in their head that Mardi Gras isn’t very family friendly. But our kids really enjoyed the parades and costumes.

This fruit truck was always parked out in front of Anne Rice’s house before she moved.

Easy Photo Sharing

22 August 2006

This weekend, I upgraded my livejournal installation and installed the FotoBilder software that Danga produces. Compared to some of the other software I’ve used, it is very nice. It even has several Ajaxy touches that make using it even more pleasent. There is even a desktop Windows client for uploading pictures. Also, I moved the LiveJournal installation to a server with gobs of disk space. Now I just need to figure out an easy way to pay for the colocation. If you have an OpenWeblog account, go to http://pics.openweblog.com/ to try out the software. Or you can just look at these pictures that we took at a Mardi Gras parade a while back.
