The Knights of Chaos

The second parade to roll last Thursday night was the Knights of Chaos. The floats feature satirical political humor in the tradition of Momus that no longer parades. Politicians are not the only ones skewered.















Crime Scene, Jazz, City Council, Flambeauxs, Cash Mart















Grocery LIst, King Cake Baby, Mary, Flambeaux, Electric Eye















St. Henry's, Street Car, Hurricanes















Last Floats











The Knights of Babylon

Unfortunately I was late to the first parade last Thursday night. These are the only photos I managed to take of the Knights of Babylon. The weather was chilly that night.
