Mystic Krewe of Barkus 2009

by

First off, a PSA.  Zatarain’s (whose NOLA seasonings are totally awesome) is sponsoring a petition to declare Mardi Gras a national holiday.  I know, right–how is this not yet a national holiday?  Zatarain’s knows that no one knows Mardi Gras quite like New Orleans!  That’s why they want to help shine the spotlight on the Crescent City – and spread the spirit of authentic Mardi Gras celebrations from coast to coast.  Wanna be a part of it??  You know you do!  Then click this link and sign the petition:  http://www.motionformardigras.com.

Now, on to today.  CS, Sun and I got down to the Quarter again for our second parade.  Today was Barkus, the dog parade.  This parade is so fun!  This year’s theme was The Bark Knight.  There are so many good pics that I’ll just direct you to my Flickr account and CS’s.  Click here and here.  Take your time.  I’ll wait.

Back? Kay.

Did you notice this clever balcony sign:

or the way I captured this band just so?

And did you see those really close-up doggie shots CS got?

The dogs kept walking up and sniffing his camera.

And I SWEAR we saw Tim Robbins:

And to top it all, Bonerama played in the parade!

It was close to perfect.  Even Katie at Overflowing Brain and her birthdaying hubby met up with us.
