Krewe du Vieux went "Where the Vile Things Are"



Last night's Krewe du Vieux parade in the Faubourg Marigny and French Quarter was everything KdV is supposed to be ? homemade, raucous, joyously obscene, relentlessly satirical and not for kids.

Its 17 subkrewes (Krewe of*C.R.U.D.E., Krewe of Space Age Love,*Krewe of Underwear, Seeds of Decline,*Krewe of Mama Roux, Krewe of*L.E.W.D., Krewe of Drips and Discharges,*Krewe of K.A.O.S., Knights of Mondu,*T.O.K.I.N., Krewe Rue Bourbon, Krewe*de C.R.A.P.S., Mystic Krewe of Spermes,*Mystik Krewe of Comatose, Mystic*Krewe of Inane, Krewe du Mishigas, and*Krewe of SPANK) outdid themselves with 17 outrageous where all the floats actually seemed to be completed and in good working order.


The evening's gold medal, however (and perhaps Carnival's gold medal) had to go to SPANK's "Dizneylandrieu," a float featuring "Mitchey Mayor" wearing mouse ears and a "New Orleans Will" T-shirt in front of a St. Louis Cathedral that had been transformed into Disney's Cinderella's Castle.

A few dozen "Mitchkateers" accompanied the float, handing out brochures that detailed the many lands in "Dizneylandrieu" (Mitchey's Toon Town, Jacked-Up Square, Crotch Country and HIpsterland among them), with rides like "Big Freedia's Bounce That Ass House," the "NOPD Brass Band Beat Down," "Rich Hippies in WholePaycheckLand," "Marlin's Playhouse," "The Enchanted Mimi Room Angry Neighbor Jamboree" and "It's a White World, Sponsored by Mitchey Mayor."
