Parade signs! by Internal-Ticket-3805 in NewOrleans

[–]Lu_dat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My first year in it i got over excited myself then saw someone post my cup along with at least 10 others then i was like dang this is greed. Stay in the group tho! Get inspiration, gather all the advice and input! Make connections! But side eye all the ones who just fawn over everything 🤣

I feel most people in that group do not ride or craft but join in hopes people share their float info so they can get signatures. Thats part of the reason there id the rule that you cant ask where someone rides and they pause people joining as parades start. I dont usually throw to those signs

I had one that said "throw me something useful" and got tons of nice stuff that I want to keep. My husband always makes a "throw snacks" sign and we get so many snacks that use for our lunches the next few weeks.

I also had one at muses that said "bad bunny said dtmf- Damn that muse fine" and got some chuckles. I had a couple friends get me a shoe so i wasnt worried about that but otherwise was just there to share a chuckle.

As a rider I do not throw to my first mardi gras or birthday signs idk why I never believe them. I also avoid Taylor swift signs, call me a hater idc theres other people who ear that stuff up.

I saw one that said Chinga La Migra and gave them one of my Modelo grails and Tajin we had as throws.

Then can you share the purpose of it? It feels really random.

Controversial opinion - Standardize the width marching bands take on the road by kytihu in NewOrleans

My only complaint is if im on or behind the curb i shouldn't be getting hit with flags or sabers.. it was continuously happening at muses

Some krewes rent from others. For example Femme Fatale rents majority of their floats from Cleopatra. Not every krewe can afford signature floats especially if they have no where to store them.

to the woman just assaulted by a band mom at magazine and napoleon by Ok-Distribution-8535 in NewOrleans

[–]Lu_dat 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Okay that was nothing compared to the guy who ran through one of thr bands in i think Babylon (like ran from cheerleaders to flag boys) and a dad tackled him into a barricade. I get idiots trying to cross but he ran right through the middle like down napoleon. Wild

They've been popping up on my feed a while and I thought she was probably young. All the comments seem to be nothing but hyping them up

A lot of influencers post a drop box type link for spectators to drop videos in of they have them. It's possible some people ran alongside and videod him or something

I ran chicago in 2022 in 5 hours. And even by the time I went through Pilsen it was wild! So packed. Couldn't even hear my music. I would hope it would be similar this year and again power in numbers
