We have kicked off a new Carnival Season and with that king cakes and a new theme. The Krewe of Southdowns theme this year is Français. We are busy coming up with our own take on this theme that incorporates our very own flair and style. SHHhh... no peaking!Last year for the theme Time Machine we decided on Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. We had a blast figuring out how to build and roll with a life sized telephone booth. Our krewe had a wonderful time with the entire process from dreams to creation, if not helped with a few libations.
This year the parade will roll on Friday February 28th at 7pm. The parade will start on Glassgow and end at Cloverdale and Perkins. The tentative parade map can be found at the bottom of this post.
As we are not lining up the floats in a parking lot this year it is imperative that we have your insurance forms signed by the Driver's Meeting, the Monday before we roll, so that we can have all the armbands we need by parade time. Waivers are located at this link http://southdowns.org/Forms/Waiver.pdf
PLEASE fill one out and give it to Annemarie or Robin.
If you are interested in participating in the Krewe even if you are not a member of the Geography & Anthropology Department please contact me at rcobb3@lsu.edu. We are always looking for new faces to join in the revelry and mischief!
