This huge Krewe meets at the
House of Blues and then marches through the French Quarter on their way to the Hilton hotel to prepare for their parade.

The Riverside Ramblers Brass Band provides accompaniment.

This is a real taste of what it's like to march with a Krewe and throw to the onlookers. Make yourself a Bloody Mary, and stroll along with the Krewe of Carrollton on a beautiful Sunday morning.

The canine parade always pulls a large crowd. This one is suitable for your kids.

Bar-hopping through the French Quarter with our group is a great way to start the Mardi Gras weekend.

And watch as a new member of our group tastes his first Lucky Dog. What happens next should be a warning to all.

I always get requests for footage of the antics on Bourbon Street. OK, so these girls aren't supermodel material.
But most people won't care.
This isn't "America's Next Top Model".

Actually, that show has scary-looking girls(?) on it.

Back in my day, we thought girls like Elle McPherson, Cindy Crawford and Christie Brinkley were supermodels. When will Tyra Banks start listening to me? She's destroying the perception of our industry with those scarecrows.
