With St. Patrick's Day quickly approaching, that means the Irish Channel Practice March is on the 5th and the Irish Channel March on the 15th, lots of fun is about to be had... that being said, to get everybody in the mood for the upcoming festivities, please enjoy the video below of the greatest rendition of "Oh, Danny Boy" by the Leprecaun Boys...

The Muses Parade was initially scheduled to ride on Thursday, the 31st... The threat of intense thunderstorms and tornadoes led to its postponement until Friday the 1st... The Ball was still held as scheduled the night of the 31st and I must say was a thousand times more fun since we weren't all exhausted from the ride in the Parade... Friday night we rode... We had some initial technical problems with the new band wagon, but DC from a Clockwork Elvis made his debut sing Elvis Tunes as we rode... As usual, we had about 10-15 Strolling Elvi, due to flats, broken starters, and assorted other mishaps, but no major crashes... Also a shout to rookie Elvi Mike Mills, came in, rode, and had a blast... can't wait to see ya again at future events...
I think this little video sums up the overall experience...

For everybody who's in town for Mardi Gras, come on out to one of the stops this sunday to watch all of us drunken fools march the Lyons Carnival Club Practice March on Sunday, Jan. 27th... We start around 2:00 at Grits Bar and follow the route below stopping for cocktails at the marked stops and finish up back at Grits 3 or 4 hours later. This Year we have the Soul Rebels providing the music so we'll be really taking it to the streets... Also as we did last year, The Pussyfooters will be joing the march starting at the Kingpin...
So come one and all to see what crazy costume ideas the boys have thought up, listen to the Soul Rebels, and get some throws while enjoying the show... hope to see everybody out there!!!
Heres what went down last year... |
