re: How does one go about joining a Mardi Gras Krewe?

I ride in Thoth...it is an outstanding Sunday if you really enjoy being a drunk santa/rock star mash up for several hours.

Thoth is up to 1700 this year. If you want to ride in Thoth, find a friend who rides. Get to know the guys and the lieutenant. Trust me, if they aren't your cup of tea, the ride will suck.

If you mesh, find out if they have openings or ask the lieutenant to keep you in mind if people drop out. Our float always has 2-4 guys who are in and out.

I have been riding in Thoth for seven years and it is a truly great organization that invests as much into new floats/ equipment as it does into its charitable foundations. Quality leadership, members and organization.


They have no real plans to get much bigger than they are now as the krewe is building newer, better floats.

Our float has been together for quite some time and we do plenty of non-thoth related events together too.
