Heard it on the radio driving back from lunch. Nyx now has more members than any other parade, including Endymion.

Nyx was founded by women who were stuck on the waiting list for Muses. So, when they stared Nyx, they decided they would never have a waiting list (so I heard) so if you can pay and follow their rules, they will accept you.

At that size, they really are more deserving of a better spot than the Wed night spot. I really think they should move to Friday, which would give you 4 super krewes in 4 nights.

shite man, even back when I was a kid me and my friends always hated going to Rhea because it sucked so much.


Bruh, I remember when the pinnacle of women's krewes was Isis, and Rhea was a meh krewe.

Diana was always terrible, though.

Isn’t this the Krewe where the Captain has the members paying her car note and mortgage?

Nyx myth.

Iris has larger membership.

The growth of the female krewes has been astounding.

The total membership of Iris, Nyx and Muses exceeds Endymion, Thoth and Bacchus by a healthy margin.

Yeah, and she had marital problems because she apparently has a thirst for the BBC...

And these women still keep paying dues.

Hmm. I know Iris has made a huge rebound in membership with a new captain, and a lot of "Thoth Wives" ride in Iris.

Used to be you could be a non-riding member for somewhat lesser dues.

Or maybe you just avoided the cost of the throws. Not sure.

Growing up in Metry, there was always the running joke that Rhea and Diana would merge to be called Krewe of DiaRhea...

Chance of rain before midnight is less than 20 percent. They will get the parades in just fine.

Tomorrow looks like a day where if you are sitting out watching your stuff, you are going to deal with a lot of rain, but just like Sunday, should clear out before parade time. Heaviest stuff done by 2-3 pm, all out by roll time.

If that changes, they may move stuff around tomorrow.

Combine all that with being chief of police at Delgado, right?

Metry had Isis, Diana and Rhea. Cleopatra and Nefertari on the west bank were meh. Nefertari is gone, and Cleopatra moved to parading uptown and exploded in size.
