Obviously, A2K lacks some of the tradition and atmosphere of New Orleans and Rio--but A2K hasn't been around for hundreds of years, either.
I propose a virtual parade. Entries may be floats, marching bands, individual egoists....
Let the Good Times Roll.
already bought my music... Professor Longhair!
SealPoet--
Will you be strutting or riding on a float?
Well, Craven could drag in the pictures of Carnival in Sao Paulo. Really nice costumes.
Where are my old cassette tapes of Leon Redbone? They'd be perfect!
So, Noddy...what day & time does the parade begin?
bbl....going to build my float. I'm hoping to have an ice palace with a crystalline throne to sit upon....i'llhave feathered and jewel bedecked dancers going before and after the throne float.

Can I ride on your float. I always wanted to be in a parade.
Montana - most certainly. I'll have 2 thrones made. and you and I can ride together... Side bah side as it were...
This is so exciting. We will be ravishing in beautiful satin gowns :-D
And can I sit between you two ? I promise that my gown will be muted (if I indeed wear a gown)
I would personally love it if you'd join us :-D
We'll need another throne Ony ;-)
Oh no need for a throne, I will just sit at yr feet
Do you mind giving me a pedicure while you're there ;-)
Onyxelle, Montana, Gautham--
Welcome. Please aim for garish elegance--after all, the parade demands larger-than-life glamour pusses.
BBB--
You're going to let your little light shine--on Mardi Gras, 3/23/03. The parade will start at sunrise EST and grow increasingly rowdy around the world until the torches are extinguished at midnight.
Walter--
In this neck of the woods. thanks to the Pennsylvania Dutch (who are really Pennsylvania German) a "fastnacht" is a particularly heavy doughnut made with potato flour trotted out on Shrove Tuesday.
Many churches--of many denominations--use Fastnacht Sales as a end-of-winter fundraiser.
I'm considering doing the parade route sitting crosslegged on my magic carpet.
i got ya noddy. we'll be elegant yet garrish & gaudy. Guatam - if you're near our feet - pedicures are requested :-)
"Elegant yet garish & gaudy..."
I can do that. Count me in!
There's two things that make up Mardi Gras: Alcohol, and women flashing their boobs.
You can't drink over the internet, so bring on the pictures of the boobs.
