Thanks to skeletonkrewe's Chris for documenting the Crescent City during this important phase of its life.
On this wild man you'll notice a grass skirt of Spanish moss. In the Shreveport area I encourage B&N members to gather such material along the shore area of lake Bistineau.

Le Krewe D'Etat wooden nickel - a possibility for B&N
If you like the idea of the wooden nickel throw, drop me an email - trudeau@earthlink.net. It has been a long while since I checked on prices, so I have no idea about the expense.

acrobate: amn example of the elaborate and elegant floats seen in Carnavale in L'Italia
A friend in the Piedmont region of Italy posted this along with snaps of floats festooned with elaborate papier mache figures. The effigies on Italian floats are amazing.
I believe that these were human gymnasts who were to perform as they were paraded.
