What is the OT‘s opinion about the all-female “superkrewe” of Nyx and their parade position of Wednesday night? I personally almost never go to Wednesday parades just because I need one more night off before the 6 day marathon that begins for most New Orleanians on Thursday night.

Not trying to hate on nyx that they are all female, really the opposite. I think for the amount of riders, they should have a better position in the weekend. Maybe one day they can negotiate to roll ahead of Endymion. Just can’t really consider them a superkrewe on a Wednesday.

I feel like that would be tough with Chaos and Babylon rolling before. Fitting in 4 parades on a weeknight would be tough.

I was at the parades last Saturday on St Charles. I thought I saw some Nyx Dancers. One was a bigon towards the back and singled me out of the crowd and blew kisses at me.


How would I find said bigon. Asking for a friend.

Lol.... Won't happen.. Other krewes tried to do it but it was shot down...

Having two huge parades like that would be a logistical nightmare... It's tough enough with Tucks and Iris rolling uptown..

Better question:

Whatever happened to the allegations that the Krewe Captain was embezzling funds, paying her mortgage and car lease, etc with Krewe money? That was big news and then just went silent. Anyone know whats up?

They roll Uptown. Why would they want to roll before Endymion. They're not moving. Druids ftw tonight!

Now for a serious reply.

If people support it and go to it, then there shouldn't be anything wrong with it. There could be a number of reasons why they have it on Wednesday, but like I said, as long as they have enough supports and resources to put it on.. God bless em.
