2/16: Bourbocam
street, in front of the Cat's Meow, an awful sore on Bourbon St, it's
loud God-awful music unavoidable. Now it's up on a balcony
overlooking the street. What do you see? A crowd. That's it. No
interviews. Very few close-ups. No humor. Not worth watching,
especially this year because I saw/there were VERY FEW costumes.
What's up with that? I have never seen a Mardi Gras (day or) night on
Bourbon St with so few costumes. There was a funny hat here and there
and beads but where are the costumed people? And I saw very few
people carrying around drinks. That just isn't right. Mardi Gras day
and people aren't drinking on Bourbon St? Why did people bother
coming? Just to see other people looking at each other? Pointless.
That said, I watched it from beginning to end, just to see if
something good happened. Very little did.
It came on at 6 pm NY time. It was supposed to come on at 5:30. OK.
We see some Jesus freak signs: The Wages of Sin is Death. I need to
check this but shouldn't it be "are"? Wages are plural... but this
may be one of those things that are weird about the English language.
It was fun listening to a Jesus freak taunting the crowd through his
bull horn. Towards the end of that episode, we heard some people
taunt him back which was pretty funny. Some of our hosts too. "You
throw like a girl." I swear to God (there I go to Hell) he said that!
And our hosts threw it back at him. The usual problems: masturbating
is sinful, homosexuals are sinful, go look at your Bible, you're all
going to burn in Hell... I gotta admire this guy for facing down a
HUGE crowd and challenging them on these things. He's so very wrong
but at least he believes he's right.
The audio goes out before 6:45 NY time. It comes back but then goes
away again. When it comes back for awhile, we can hear the hosts
remarking, "this mic is very sensitive, we'll have to watch what we
say."
6:52 (all time NY time) someone moves the camera around. Zooms in.
Then it is still again.
7:07 It's getting dark.
I wonder who all those people are in red. A marching band? We see
many people wearing red, many of them together. I've seen some bands
in red but why is that the prevalent color we're seeing?
The hosts come on. We get Jerrica again. Kate is mentioned but I
don't recognize her voice. Another woman and another man are on.
We see a Santa Claus. The hosts say they saw the Easter Bunny. If
it's the same guy I've seen over the years, I'm sorry I missed him.
He is perfect for the part. Very creepy and it's surprising he hasn't
been put behind bars for some sort of pedophile charge. Still, that's
what you want in a grown man with a pot belly wearing an Easter Bunny
costume, don't you?
Someone should shut Jerrica up. She is running at the mouth and
repeating things. If she mentions that "Mardi Gras is a marathon, not
a sprint
' one more time I'm going to.... I don't know what.
She did. That's it. I'm muting it.
Hopefully they'll zoom in on some good costumes. (They don't.) What's
the point of of pointing the camera into the crowd and not zooming
in? (And talking endlessly.)
We see a balcony's occupants throwing lit throws.
8 pm The hosts have stopped talking and are now zoomed in to nothing
in particular. Why not find interesting things to look at?
8:28 pm We lose the audio.
Damian yammers on... "a piece of King cake I enjoyed just shortly."
What is this affliction that strikes New Orleanians? I've seen it for
years. The mind takes shortcuts when speaking and jumbles things up.
Unfortunately those connections are needed to make sense.
The cam moves around a little.
8:44 pm. Very few are in costume. Cam is zoomed in, looking around. No hosts.
9:05 We see two girls drinking.Why isn't everyone drinking?
9:09 We see a woman in what looks like a cow costume. This is
pathetic! Saw a woman expose her breasts for some beads but she
wasn't facing the camera and it happened very quickly. (It's cold
down there...)
9:55 See a long line of people in white shirts 3 or 4 abreast heading
towards the far end of Bourbon St, away from Canal. What was that
about? Missionaries?
10:30 Someone with rabbit ears.
10:32 two guys with "I eat pussy" signs are seen holding them above
their heads. They put the "I" so close to the "pussy" that I thought
they said Eat Pussy. There is something written on the back of each
one but I can't read it. Is that some kind of a joke? Maybe they
wrote they eat cats? Did any woman take them seriously and take them
up on their offer? It's kinda sad. Why not just say I need to get
laid?
10:49 We see some of the people on the balcony where the cam is. A
pretty blond. The most exciting thing on the street are people with
lit up necklaces. Pathetic.
10:53 A conehead. Not the SNL version but more of a highway cone as a hat.
There ARE a lot of people on Bourbon St. We can see them from afar.
11:05 We see the blond from behind, from the waist up, looking out
into the crowd. It would make a nice still shot with her being dark
against the lights of the street and the ironwork.
11:16 A balcony, not too far away, has dangled what looks like a
clump of beads on a string, lowering it and then bring it back up,
teasing the crowd. Now they have a bright light focused on a smaller
group in the crowd below as they throw things (beads, lit things)to
particular people.Is there a TV crew filming this? Playboy? The
bright lights make that group stand out.
11:21 The guys carrying the "I eat pussy" sings are still out.
11:25 We see a fire down the street! The second floor of a building a
male host says. See a fire hose(s) spraying it. Don't see or hear any
fire trucks. The 1100 or 1200 block of Bourbon he says. Occasionally
we hear cheers. The crowd seems close to it. The host is very low
level.
11:35 We see blue lights flashing. The fire is almost out. Can see
smoke billowing above the rooftops, contrasting against the ambient
light. The male host says matter-of-factly: Back to Mardi Gras.
11:40 The cam is not looking at the fire anymore.
11:42 A Who Dat is heard.
11:44 Haven't seen any crosses in a long time. They may be in another
direction.
12:03 am We see, in the middle of the street, a guy feel up a girl's
breasts while another watches.
12:14 Haven't seen any fights yet. Good.
12:17 See the first cop on horseback. For that matter, the first cop
on the Bourbocam tonight.
12:26 See a nice beer glass hat.
12:40 Bourbon St is still full.
12:48 I see red flashing lights at the far end of the street. People
are heading towards the cam. This seems to be the beginning of the
sweep.
1:14 Headlights seen in the distance at the far end. They're coming!
Sirens heard. Unfortunately, the cam then changes position to a shot
that is nowhere near as encompassing, looking towards Canal. We see
people walking both ways and then the Jesus freaks coming towards the
cam with their signs held up. We see the first cop cars and then
legions of cops.
No lights at the far end when the cam turns to follow the cops. We
see cops on horses.
The host says it's time to go. says goodbye. (They've stayed on the
cleanup longer in the past.) Calls this the "blue light parade".
Cam goes off at 1:22 am NY time. I miss the old Bourbocam.

2/16: Zulu, Rex and some trucks
Starting this early is crazy. 9 o'clock, NY time, 8 NO time. What are
they thinking. Who can function at that hour especially after all
this...
It's snowing up in NY. Snowed all day. Maybe 6". But it's actually
warmer than NO or some places in LA!
First I look at the Jackson Square cam. It looks beautiful in the morning sun.
I then watch the Algiers Point cam. It's crooked. Never seen it
crooked before. Related to Mardi Gras? See a (barge) with lots of
(barges) (substitute correct terminology) heading downriver. It heads
away from downstream. I wonder if I am about to witness an accident.
It goes off cam. Another barge speeds by but I don't see it pass the
other longer one. When the longer one comes back into view, it is
heading downstream correctly and the faster one has passed it safely
on the New Orleans side. I've need seen barges take the turn like
that before.
8:48 am I watch the DSU cam. There are two hosts at the Le Cirque
hotel, high above Lee Circle. The man says, "let me check my
chronographer." He means his watch. Chronographer? Right. Chronograph
maybe.
The woman says, " We're all excited about all the excitement." Aren't
these people great?
It's 30 degrees down there. Same here!
Margaret said Zulu started a minute early. Another woman said it
started 3 minutes early. Which is it? Both got this info from DSU's
text service.
Audio is ahead of video. Video quality is jerky. We then lose the
audio. Audio is intermittent.
We see a Revolutionary War soldier walk by playing a banjo. Great!
Never seen that in NO before.
Bud Light advertising is all over the stage in Metarie. I hate to see
advertising like that during Mardi Gras.
Margaret and Arthur are low level. Randi - no audio. Yeah!
I have my first drink at 9:34 am.
We see a kid in a banana suit who's gotten a skeleton and another
throw from Zulu. Her father is in a skeleton krewe. Cool.
We see the Revolutionary War soldier again.
A very nice walking Lombardi trophy!
We see Pete Fountain. His Half Fast Walking Club are all dressed as
Juan Valdezes! Great! Pete looks great too. Nice to see him so happy.
Randi, talking about the Half Fast MC, "They're so true." Margaret,
"They're drinking." (That's what makes them "true".)
Randi, "We've got all the marching clubs kind of coming through.
Setting the screen for what's really going to happen."
Nice Peter Pan family out in Metarie.
Rachel Wulff, "So, again..." No, not again. You haven't said it once
so how can it be again?
Nice giraffe costume on stilts has 4 legs!
Travis, "High atop the Intercontinental." No, the camera is showing a
street level shot.
People are calling it Lombardi Gras.
10:09 am, no audio on Camille's standup on the Bourbon St balcony.
DSU is having its problems this morning.
No audio for Pete Fountain's HFMC at Gallier Hall.
Pete toasts us. To you, Pete. Lots of funny old guys in this group,
though we can't hear them.
Norman joins Chris and Arthur.
Nice fans, Hell freezes over sign.
We see "Study the Bible" and "Repent" signs on Bourbon St.
Nice costumes on Mondo Kayo group. I never knew about them before.
Travis describes the Juan Valdezes as wearing white tuxedos. I think
they are just white suits.
See Nagin ride with Zulu.
10:49 am We lose the audio.
Zulu is at Gallier Hall.
Norman says: Hotel Intercontinental.
Lower third: Intercontinental Hotel.
Nagin toasts King of Zulu.
We see the Juan Valdezes walking down Bourbon St.
The male host at the le Cirque Hotel is good. He thinks before he speaks.
We see Shaw HS from East Cleveland. I wonder if they are the same
dancers in red I was so impressed with last year?
We see people dancing on the cam by Touro.
No audio for Rachel in Metarie.
I can get the audio to come back if I move the jog shuttle control on
the Quicktime Player. Is this a Flip4 Mac bug?
Randi, "the marching bands that have just came through."
See a blond, wearing a wig?, on the Zulu float.
Travis, "Like I said..." No, you didn't say it already.
We see a nice parade crossing Bourbon! I wonder who that was.
We hear the Marine Band play. Norman says, let's hear them and then
he talks over them.
See a nice shot of the Captain for Rex.
The chef on the Boeuf Gras float is wearing a Saints jersey.
Arthur recognizes a 70s tune, The Horse. I wondered what it was. Very familiar.
We see the Gates of Hell float. Wow.
The crowd is still dancing by Touro.
See a Rodrigue Blue Dog float, Puppy Love.
We lose the audio after the New Millennium Social Club float.
Jog/shuttle gets it to work.
1:33 pm NY time. Zulu is still going on!
We see a truck parade Uptown.
Bourbon St is full.
Norman, talking about the Marines, "Not at parade rest." Chris, "At a parade."
Rex is at Lee Circle.
A little girl, when asked why she doesn't have very many beads, says
she was told you'd get more if you don't look like you have very
many. Smart! Start them youg!
Boeuf Gras looks great.
Talking about Laura Bush: Norman, "She's been here several times."
Chris,"Many".
We see a cool praying mantis.
The guy on Bourbon St says, "A shot of former first lady Laura Bush
riding in Rex." No, she's watching Rex.
Rex gets to Gallier Hall.
Bravo to Norman for asking to hear the bands as they pass by.
The stream stops, then it starts but we lose audio.
Nice pot of Gold costume.
Norman, "This is a shot of Rex." No, it's not.
We see and hear the Riverside Ramblers go by playing Hey Pocky Way.
Margaret talks with Bailey who is wearing a Mexican hat and has tons of beads.
Get a cool shot looking up to float at Gallier Hall.
See a "War on Cancer" float! And I see prostate cancer written on the
side it gets to me, having gotten rid of my prostate cancer recently.
One of the cams marches with the band. Great shot. The cameraperson
is using a Stedicam. Very nice work there.
Norman, "This is dynamic stuff." Arthur is low level.
We hear the Jeopardy theme.
At about 4:20 pm NY time, I watch the Jackson Square cam. Kinda blurry.
Now, to watch the Bourbocam.

2/15: Proteus and Orpheus
The paradecam host, Damien, comes on at 6:36 pm NY time. The theme
for this year? Mythology and Astrology.
He pronounces flambeaux as flambeuz, as if the plural was with a z
sound. Plural flambeaux are flambeaux, pronounced flambeau, no?
Warren Easton: nice flags, we lose audio so we can't tell if band is
good or not. The host is turning the mic off. Bad idea. We NEED to
hear the bands!! (Later on, I think the mics battery starts to die.
Too bad they aren't prepared.)
The stream is a bit jerky.
Nice dancing, nice smile on one flag carrier.
#5 The Sun. The figureheads are nice. The rest of the floats look
terrible for the most part.
#6 Luna, the moon. Float has a dragon on it. Hunh?
Xavier percussion group: nice moves.
#8 Leo the Lion has an ape face.
Baker HS: stops and dances in front of the cam. Nice!
#9 Taurus. A nice bull.
The Riverside Ramblers play When the Saints.
#11 Venus, the morning star. Pretty. And kinda sexy.
Polaris: Sexy! And so was Mercury for that matter.
Damian makes a bad joke about snowmobiles. He's an Arctic Cat kind of
guy, himself.
Libra has breasts!
Laura comes on cam briefly.
Oak Haven from Memphis look good but we can't hear them!
#16 Aires the Ram. I couldn't see a ram but the float looked good.
Virgo the Virgin, nice.
#18 Pieces. A scary fish!
Damien mentions Hercules and Heracles. I didn't know they were the
same, one Greek, one Roman. He does offer some good info on these
characters.
#20 Scorpio, a nice scorpion.
The end of parade fire truck plays Get Crunked!
I switch to the DSU cam but can't tell if Proteus has reached it yet
so I switch back to the paradecam. It's about 7:19 NY time.
Orpheus
About 10 minutes later Orpheus begins.
See cool red motorcycle lights flashing.
Laura on now as the host. Maybe she'll leave the mic on.
It's 30-40 degree down there. Sorry. That's what it is up here too!
She interviews some guy who's made a jacket out of beads. Nice job.
We see horse drawn chariots.
McDonogh #35: nice batons, band sounds good!, looks good, I don't
know the tune.
Laura calls them Lambeaux! They look good, red. Many are flares.
Float #1 has Taylor Dane on it and Mitch Landrieu.
#2 has Harry Connick Jr on it. Laura raves about someone catching a
throw he threw.
O Perry Walker: looks good, sounds good, dancers look good, flags
too. Pom poms too.
Nice red flambeaux behind them.
St Mary's Academy Band: sounds pooped.
Big Bad Voodoo Daddies don't play and are stingy according to Laura.
Walter L Cohen: nice moves by leaders and flags, band looks and sounds good.
Sean Payton with American flags on either side of him, spotlights behind float.
The Who Dat Dames: "Oh Lord, who are these people, " Laura. "They are so hot."
Laura says: "800,00 got out for that parade. That's more than got out
for the..." Got out?
I hear Smokey Mary! The cops by the neutral ground get out of the way
as she rounds the corner. That's one long float! 5 sections! Looks
surreal all light up as it comes around the corner.
#7 Angel and Devils Food cake: The sides look nice on this one.
LW Higgens: good dancers! leaders dance well then the band stops playing.
I think we hear Sweet Home Alabama coming from Fat Harry's. We can
hear the bass notes pretty well.
See lots of Hummers in the parade. Boo.
#9 Pinwheel biscuits. I see a pinwheel. Don't see any biscuits.
#10 Queen of Pudding. I see a cupcake.
The Fun Dept fire truck. I think it has clowns in it. (Painted purple.)
#11 Orpheus Trojan Horse: Beautiful and with a good band.
Not sure who the group is but I big nice smile on a girl in yellow.
Every once in awhile you'll see someone marching with a big smile on
their face. It's always nice. They're happy. We're happy. We need
more of that.
The hosts tell of someone from the crowd who jumped into the dance
routine of a group and promptly got taken out. A funny story.
Frederick Douglas HS: Looks good.
Wee see a dragon with smoke coming out of its nose. The baby dragon
behind it needs more decorations though.
The hosts mic starts to distort.
Nice dancing men in white, hopping. The band starts playing when it
gets to the cam. We can't hear the hosts because the mic is
distorting so much.
GW band (George Washington Carver?) shouts!
#20 Shoe Fly Pie has a mouse face. I don't get it.
9 pm NY time, the parade ends. I switch to the DSU cam.
We see the motorcycles so Orpheus is just beginning. The stream is
good, only hiccuping a little.
We hear The Village People play Macho Man on the float Mitch Landrieu
is on. Ick.
I can't tell who most of the bands are but they look good from above
and if they stop by the cam, they sound good.
A blond guy on the LSU float is enjoying himself. (LSU sucks.)
We hear Smokey Mary from afar. Very cool.
The dragon float passes by and we get a brief but nice look at it.
Overheard: "That's the best float."
The stream is hiccuping every couple of seconds now.
A band in green shouts and screams! Oh,now they're going backwards!
(Adjusting themselves.) Surreal.
People are throwing beads onto a flatbed truck! lol Only in New
Orleans is that funny.
See a nice sun float.
11:19 pm NY time, the last float goes by. The barriers are quickly
mov ed out of the way. Very efficient.
Now, for tomorrow!
