I heard he was going to be in the Mardi Gras parade.... but know no details of the "god of wine and mirth" business!

Elijah was King of Bacchus this year. This Carnival group (it's not a Krewe) was only formed in 1968 and always has a celebrity 'King'. I think Emeril Legasse was King of Bacchus one year, which is appropriate!

I was just reading about the group, and I think I was probably there when it had it's first Parade in 1968! I think they usually have theirs on the Sunday before Mardi Gras, and we always used to go to New Orleans on the Sunday before for the parades. I know I was there the first year Endymion had its parade in 1967. I just loved that name!
