Great news!! By the start of the Historic French Quarter Easter Parade, we are down to just a 20% chance of rain which continues to drop to nothing by the afternoon. It's a dry day for parades, Reveleers!
@gmmartygraw.bsky.social and I will see you on the route, and Happy Easter everyone!

It looks like the only parade tomorrow that might be affected by rain will be the Historic French Quarter Easter Parade in the 9 am hour. Rain chances drop to around 30% by 1 pm for the Chris Owens parade and the Gay Easter Parade. Stay tuned for more updates!

Full color A-I generated image of a doubloon-style circular image celebrating 50 years of the golden age of disco in twenty-twenty-seven. The image depicts the Krewe of King Arthur's character disco dancing with his Guinevere. King Arthur on the left is wearing his crown atop his long blonde 1970s hair. He wears a wide collared button down shirt, open to the 3rd button to reveal a thick gold necklace. He is wearing an orange sharkskin suit, jacket open to reveal a thick gold belt and buckle atop his flared trousers. Guinevere, wearing a gold tiara on her long curly blonde head, with a medieval-style pink gown with a plunging V-neck and long shimmering skirt trimmed in gold brocade. Behind them are various silhouettes of disco dancers beneath a large mirrorball reflecting rainbow shafts all around. In gold period lettering at the top, it reads  "Fifty years, Golden Age of Disco."

I feel that, because they are announcing them as Irish and Italian king cakes, they believe this doesn't violate the Lenten strictures. I think they could have gotten away with it by calling them king cake-style cakes.
