2019 Valley Of Silent Men Social Aid and Pleasure Club Second Line
After a dreadfully long summer filled with funerary second lines we finally kicked off the 2019-2020 social aid and pleasure club parade season this past weekend in Central City.
The Valley of Silent Men roll was pure joy as thousands of people took to the streets to sing, dance, eat fried catfish plates, drink margaritas and daquiris, and socialize. One down, thirty four to go. The next second line is this Sunday, September 1st more. Hope to see y’all out. Continue Reading

Here’s what we saw: Continue Reading

2019 Black Masking Cultural Festival in New Orleans
2019 Black Masking Cultural Festival in New Orleans
The 2019 Black Masking Cultural Festival is set to go down this Friday July 5th 2019. It starts at noon and runs to 5pm.
There will be Mardi Gras Indian gangs, brass bands, food trucks, roving cocktail and beer vendors, and one imagines, big crowds due to all the hard partying Essence Fest folks being in town.

Free admission
Update: We went and did not lay eyes on a single Indian. It was roughly 100 degrees and donning a 100lb Indian suit would’ve been a dicey move for even the most fit of people.
