kid feeding his daiquiri to a chicken

I took a lot of pictures during my stagger through Mardi Gras in Mamou and Eunice yesterday, but this kid feeding his daiquiri to a chicken he'd just bought outside the library in Eunice kinda sums it up.

Here is the street dance on the north side of Mamou


and the courir riders (the guys that dress up in costume and collect chickens on horseback) at the street dance in Eunice.



Here are a few other favorites:



The glitter man in Mamou; Cajun Country Queen in Eunice; the Lafayette Rhythm Devils at Fred's Lounge in Mamou



Boudin Ball before; and after



Again, that chicken is my new spirit animal.
