Chewbacchus & early Carnival 2013
Feb. 4th, 2013 11:03 amIt's Carnival Time in New Orleans. I've participated in a few events, mostly non-"mainstream" ones thus far.
Saturday 26 Jan I caught a little bit of the 'Tit Rəx mini-parade on St. Roch Avenue and later on Franklin Avenue on my way towards the lineup for the Chewbacchus Parade later that evening. Chewbacchus is a science-fiction related Carnival parade; the King was actor Peter Mayhew, the original Chewbacca in the Star Wars films.
