On Friday afternoon, I decided at the last minute to participate in the parade on Saturday. Since this is not something I do on a regular basis, I decided to bring the camera along and take a few snapshots for posterity.
I hope posterity can forgive me for the outlandish costume I wore that warm, sunny afternoon:
I was trying to be some kind of Irish gypsy, but I think I was more like what Whoopi Goldberg would look like if she joined a roller derby. Anyway, when I got to where the rest of the Kudzu Krewe was lining up, I realized that I met my match in the costume department:
And oh yes, the honorable mentions:
Yes, those dogs were green.
It was a fun experience watching spectators scramble for beads and yell to the top of their lungs for no reason. I also got a kick out of seeing pieces of green body paint fall to the ground as Josh Hailey, et al marched along in the bright sun, shedding like snakes. A word of advice, though: Don't forget your water. I left mine in the car, and by the time the parade was over, my lips were sticking to my teeth.
To see all the pictures, go here to view my photo album. Thanks for the good times, Kudzu Krewe!
