Sun, 2/3: Okeanos, Babylon

I tune in about 5 of 12 NY time. The WDSU cam is on, low level audio
but nothing happening. People standing around with no parade in
sight. As usual they are abit back from the action but they do zoom
and pan so we will see good scenes. The Paradecam link for the live
Real video isn't working. (The Quartercam looks nice...)

Paradecam (works now and) is still on the roof. And people are marching!

12:07 NY time, Paradecam switches to handheld. Jeff again. great!
(Nothing happening on DSU cam)

This is Okeanos. New Orleans Past and Future, Back To The Future. 17
floats for this parade.

Dominican cheerleaders and talk of gods/sacrifices...

DSU cam has parade now. A nice white Roman-stylle villa float stopped.

Queen of Okeanos passes by the Paradecam. (12:16 NY time)

Chappelle High Steppers have lots of "protection".

Okeanos frisbee.

(I think the DSU cam is ahead of the Paradecam. Am seeing the
streetcar. (Paradecam stops but starts again...) float, St Charles
Streetcar band, singing Prof Longhair's Going To The Mardi Gras. I
saw another streetcar float on the DSU cam abit before.)

It's raining stuff. (We hear them get bombarded.) Aquarium
float.(Audio drops out)

Parade is stopped on DSU cam. Now moving. See cowboy on float. (12:30 NY time)

Paradecam has stopped but it starts again eventually. Then stops. May
have to drop it. It comes back.

Indians on horses.

Change in LA license plates!

Fire engine on DSU cam. (12:35 NY time)

Talk of Roy Scheider... boring. Christopher Walken - renaissance
man... can't get enough....

Here comes the fire engine so DSU cam is ahead of the Paradecam. I
suspect by the corner of Perrier and Napolean. (12:39 NY time)

King and other floats are behind fire engine?!

This parade does not use electricity on their floats when usually
parading at night. Only flambeaux. Got to see that in person.

(DSU cam is blue screen now.)

Officers/official knights. M'Lasses, ah. Translucent cups.

Float #3, so this is a new parade? Ah, this is Babylon.

12:55 NY time, paradecam stops then starts.

12:59 NY time we see a blue satyr w/ a bow (and arrow I suppose)
float on the DSU cam.

Here it is on the Paradecam, 1:03 NY time. Sagitarius. Fire engine
behind it. Wait. The satyr is still sitting stopped at the DSU cam
and that cam is live! Hmm... Now I'm confused. There's the fire
engine. So the DSU cam is after the Paradecam? Like, a few feet past
it?

Now a break on both cams. Paradecam is holding up well despite some
starts and stops. DSU cam is good. No audio on it but good steady
stream. Better picture quality than the Paradecam. But the Paradecam
has hosts and people like Jeff are worth listening to. His
accomplices, while smarter than the usual, are not worth listening
to. At least they aren't screaming like some of the other accomplices.

(Might as well post this since there is a break in the action.)
