RickR Posted February 9, 2016 Report Posted February 9, 2016 Thank you for sharing all this good info. Happy Mardi Gras!
Arenafoot Posted February 9, 2016 Author Report Posted February 9, 2016 and of course (as tradition) the official ending of the Mardi Gras season culminates with the "Meeting of the Courts" tonight. The Meeting of the Courts is where the King & Queen of the Mystic Krewe of Comus (oldest MG organization 1857 - doesn't parade anymore) meet the King and Queen of Carnival (Rex 1872 - oldest parading organization). They used to have their carnival balls in the same building (Municipal Auditorium) and would lift up the curtain to join the two together for the meeting. Today (post Katrina), one Krewe is at the Marriott on Canal Street (the worlds widest street) and the other is across the street at the Hilton. Its weird to see the red carpet rolled across the street and royalty walking to the other hotel.....LOL link to the 2016 Live feed (begins at 7:30pm CT - ends close to Midnight)...... https://www.youtube.com/user/wyesondemand here's the 2015 meeting: Brian Matherne - owner/curator of "The MOST comprehensive list of Atari VCS/2600 homebrews ever compiled." http://tiny.cc/Atari2600Homebrew author of "The Atari 2600 Homebrew Companion" book series available on Amazon! www.amazon.com/author/brianmatherne
