The Divas and their Elvises took it to the streets yesterday afternoon, right on time.
I found a place to park my bike on the corner of Bienville and Dauphine, for the half-block walk to the Diva Headquarters and the lining up point in front of Arnaud's Restaurant.

My timing was much better this year. I managed to stay ahead of the gang, and gots lots of photos as I went. It became clear early on that something was amiss...Keith was at the head of the Diva's attempting to part the crowds and manage the traffic.

It was an awesome task that fell on him and the rest of the Elvises since the NOPD escort did NOT show up as planned and paid for!



Even so, everyone had a great time and just kept on moving down their route that took them down Bourbon Street to a right on St. Peter, then a right on Royal Street that took them back up to Bienville and all the partying and balcony fun that awaited in the Bourbon Room at Arnaud's. You never know what you might find along the way:

Family

and Friends,

Old haunts and hangouts,
Don't you think it's time for a "Huge Ass Beer", or...

...special throws?
A new place to put your trash,


Another beautiful, shuttered, window and balcony,
Local favorites,


...and, a very special surprise!
