Bacchus parade: Sunday, February 15, 2014

"Throw me something, mister!"  Papa Tom with the Viking ship float.  This year, John C. Riley was the King of Bacchus.

Donna was on duty on St. Charles, a few blocks from where we were standing.  Our car was parked about 2 miles away.  Donna's sergeant offered to let Donna drive us to our car when the parade was over, in exchange for a Zulu coconut.  Done!

Laser lights announce the arrival of another float


We were right out front, at the curb.  Turns out we were too close!  One of the bass drummers caught Papa Tom's camera with his drum stick.  Ouch!  The camera refused to take any more photos after that.  These are all taken with my phone.

This gator has a mouth full of beads thrown back at the float by the crowd


The crowd throws beads back at Mamma Kong.  The tractor driver wears a helmet cuz some people miss.
