Zulu. That was the one they would chuck the coconuts down on the crowd, killing and injuring hundreds. Happy Fat Tuesday everybody.

You need to move down between Jackson Avenue and Lee Circle to catch Zulu as it turns from Jackson onto St. Charles. Zulu starts throwing flaming gas bottles at 8:00 on Claiborne and Jackson and makes its way down Jackson to St. Charles very slowly. I believe they make a stop or two to "toast" various groups along the way. The parade hardly ever runs on time, so you don't really have to hurry. In the meantime, the street is filling up with maskers, pick-pockets, and other revelers.

More terror in the Philiipines. Happy Fat Tuesday, happy Muslim New Year.

Rex starts at Claiborne and Napoleon at 10:00am. If you were caught in a Zulu toast, you have half an hour to an hour to get medical attention, and into a good position for Rex. I'd suggest that you make your way all the way to Canal in this in-between time. St. Charles goes from a divided 4-lane street to an undivided 2-lane dirt street after Lee Circle, and the flow of gawking humanity is much more concentrated at this point. You'll be coming up on Gallier Hall, which is the old City Hall and the traditional viewing spot for the embalmed corpses of past mayors and others in city government. The reviewing stands on in front of Gallier Hall and across the street are packed with them, and boxes run all the way to the sidewalk, so there's no standing room in front of them. There are lots of cops to keep you moving through.

:
Look for the Bouef Gras, His Majesty's Bandwagon, His Majesty's Streetcar, His Majesty's Calliope, His Majesty's gravel truck, and some of the best floats of the season. The theme will most likely be something a bit highbrow, based on literature or the arts. Watch for the mounted officers in purple, green and gold costumes. Rex will toast the dead Mayors at Gallier Hall and his Queen at the Hotel Intercontinental, so he'll be moving non-stop when he turns onto Canal.

:
Head into the Quarter from your vantage point on Canal. Have fun, yell, scream, cheer, remove clothing, but most of all, keep moving. Stick fights break out and people get hurt when the crowd stacks up, so the cops do everything possible to prevent that from happening. If you brought beads with you, you can exchange them with others on the street and on balconies above you for various things: glimpses of the person's anatomy, beer, or access to a bathroom. Start on Bourbon Street and walk down as far as the crowd goes. Turn around and head back on Decatur or Chartres and do it all over again. Remember that venturing into the Quarter is not for the faint of heart. You'll see anything from greasy housewives showing their chests to drag queens to drunks getting sick, etc. Look out for the various fundamentalist Christians out and about trying to explain how all this stuff is bad for you. You also may run into some counter-demonstrators mocking the Christians the Church of Frog normally makes an appearance on Fat Tuesday. All of this, and vomiting, will go on well into the night.
