Nothing but to show you how a king may go a progress through the guts of a beggar

We're still a month away from the major Carnival events but some of us are starting to get into it a bit already. On Twelfth Night, we dutifully stood on the St. Charles Avenue neutral ground with a glass of wine long enough to record this 16 seconds of dark phone video of the Phunny Phorty Phellows streetcar ride.



The Pussyfooters Blush Ball is this Saturday night at the Howlin Wolf. Tickets are $35.00 at the door. The ball and accompanying raffle raise money for the Metropolitan Center for Women and Children which is a non-profit organization providing services to victims of domestic violence. Plus the ball is an all-around good time. Last year, we were there to take in the debut public performance of the now famous 610 Stompers.



Meanwhile, I'm sifting through recent years of photos. These are all of Rex making his majesty's royal pee break and toast at the Downman House on St. Charles and Third. (For some reason my Flickr account is missing 2006 and 2007 right now. Will update if I find these pictures at home)
