Krewe du Vieux 2009

Mardi Gras Parade Krewe du Vieux

This is one parade that you want to see as much as possible of.



From the Krewe du Vieux's website:

Krewe du Vieux announces its 2009 parade theme "Krewe du Vieux's Stimulus Package"

Reflecting national trends, Krewe du Vieux is wheeling and dealing with its own brand of economic incompetence. On February 7th, KdV will roll out its own STIMULUS PACKAGE that includes substantial “Investments in Stocks & Bondage” and a bailout plan for “D&D Cock Market Investment Spankers.” In a “Salute to Trickle Down Economics” Krewe du Vieux’s crack economic team, advised by the investment firm of “Schmeckel and Shekel’s Foreskins and Foreclosures,” promises to “Extend the Guard” and “Go Down With Uncle Sam.”

The Krewe will be marching through the Faubourg Marigny and the French Quarter encouraging onlookers to “Shave the Wetlands” and get ready for some “New Voodoo Economics.” Always “Dedicated to Perpetual Naughtiness” this year’s parade promises plenty of “Good Vibrations” on its way to it’s “Inaugural Balls” at the Colton School.
