I tune in at about 5 of 2 my time. No sound, beautiful picture though
and good stream. A cloudy day at (Copeland's, who's web site doesn't
have a NO location!) and St Charles. At least it isn't raining (much,
it is raining some but not like last night). No signs that the parade
is near starting, cops milling around, few people lined up.
Police mobile command center sets off at about 2:15, See a military
Humvee go by. DSU cam is on the wrong side of the street! See
motorcycles go by. Dune buggies throwing throws. I provide my own
soundtrack as the marching band goes by. Float! Throwing tons of
crap. Fish on front. (Carpi Sun?) Lots of overarm throwing. I thought
that was illegal? Stream getting a little jerky. Dancing girls are
mimicked by watchers.
I switch to the (nol.com) Paradecam. it is on the correct side of the
street and has sound. Fun, not obnoxious hosts, a guy and a girl. Not
sure how old the girl is, sounds young. There's a better quality
picture on the DSU cam but better POV on the paradecam and it has
sound. (They are both on the same corner, but the DSU cam is on the
NW corner.) And the DSU cam is several seconds behind the paradecam.
Gold Dusters dancing away. Woman announcer is an adorable blond....,
I switch DSU cam to tv and leave paradecam on. Now can tab between
the two, keeping the audio going! 2:57 my time
Shangra La
Using RealOne player but it is using up more of my CPU than
RealPlayer was. DSU feed is stuttering more. (I don't think it is me.)
Starts 3:17 my time. I have a two cam switched feed! lol Can't get
the Real feed to go full screen though. Now I have a two-cam split.
Not bad.
A kid comes up to the paradecam, "I'm Aiden. I'm from the great city
of New Orleans!" Well, alright!
Cool, both are full screen! (Use on screen control on RealPlayer) but
then I don't get to watch the QT player at all. Guy is talking
off-mic but we can hear him. Audio for the marching bulldogs is very
distorted. DSU feed is very jerky now.
Lots of marching band's dancers using a hop step. (Higgins High
School) Haven't seen that before. Male flag wavers? Skipping too.
AE Breedy says hi to wife in Seattle.
Imperial Children, from China?
I switch to the DSU cam for the floats, to the paradecam for the bands/flags.
Mt Carmel Carmelettes.
Woman host gets hit by beads, it hurts, she laughs.
Ice cream truck music while watching marching band.
Must be woman host's first Mardi Gras. She asks why the parades stop
in the middle.
Good looking high school dancers, mostly blond, with terrible music.
(Before Land of the Matador float)
"Lotta dance companies from Kennah (Kenner)".
(35% CPU!)
Different dance steps. Leaping, one foot hops.
DSU cam has stopped. 4:25 pm my time I restart it.
Big Easy Rollergirls.
Vietnamese Young Leaders of New Orleans dragons!, Riverside Ramblers.
Sparta at 6, paradecam signs off. 4:30 my time. DSU cam still going.
Still more floats! Maybe I'm seeing reruns... I am.
