As some of you know, years ago I started "The True Church of the Great Green Frog" here in New Orleans years ago as a tounge (of frog) in cheek counter-protest to the Jimmy Swagart types who come to town to protest Mardi Gras.

Some early uptown converts moved out to the San Fransico Bay area, and started the Berkeley Mardi Gras Frog Parade there each Mardi Gras.

Thanks to the ever Frogtastic [livejournal.com profile] hyla_regilla, I have been made aware of the website:

BerkeleyMardiGras.org



Clearly the Berkeley Frogs have been flourishing wonderfully! I've long said that the only way I'd not be in New Orleans for Mardi Gras was if I was some other place that seriously celebrated Carnival, like Venice or Brasil. I see Bezerkeley now belongs on that list. Way to go!

My friends in the Bay Area who can't make it to New Orleans this year are hereby told to be sure to attend this event (and to tell me about it afterwards). Now go forth, my children, and sin some more!
