Sad Is this the show that bitch Savannah is on?


I had to look it up but yes she's still on it. Another reason not to watch.
If only it was true. They are truly horrible individuals and I hope they lose every single game. They might have the US logo on their jerseys, but they don't represent America.

I wouldn't want to see Rapinoe severely injured to where it affected her regular life but I can truly say if she suffered an injury that ended her soccer career I wouldn't be sad at all. In many ways it would be Karma.
NBC Today Show Has Lowest Ratings Since 1991

Go woke go broke right?

Honestly, does anyone even watch morning news anymore? I remember as a kid we would always have on Good Morning America or the Today Show, even just as background noise. But honestly I can't remember the last time I watched either. It has to have been at least a decade. To me they are just as antiquated now as newspapers.

Never mind the politics are just nauseating.

Would love to see all the major networks crash and burn.

I would consider Biloxi/Gulfport as well. I would say the Northshore though I don't think the area has a space big enough to accommodate either event.

Jefferson is screwed as well. We ride in many parades there every year. Severn construction will not be finished. Staging area at Clearview compromised. Last time parades staged on Bonnabel, they left horse shite out there and neighbors pissed. Jefferson parades normal route is not looking good. I rode in Harahan for Memorial Day. They may look in that direction.


Veterans is that bad at this point? What plans do the Jefferson Krewes have for 2022?

I agree that Harahan would work as well.

If latoya were to cancel Mardi Gras again (she won’t), I think a lot of krewes would have serious discussions about permanently leaving Orleans and riding in Jefferson until there’s a new mayor at minimum. Latoya is dumb but I don’t think she’ll take the battle. She’s surprised me before though.


I don't think she cares. She looks at the Jefferson threat as a bluff and she takes pride in thinking that she called their bluff in 2021.

If I'm involved in a Krewe my concern is that she'll do what she did this year. She won't cancel Mardi Gras with time to spare to possibly move it to Jefferson. She'll cancel it just a few weeks in advance. If I'm involved in a Krewe, especially as a Krewe Captain, I'm not sure if I want to take that risk.

Mardi Gras is 100% going to happen.


A month ago I would've agreed with you. I don't know now. I don't like the trend we're seeing right now with the Delta variant and Democrat controlled cities trying to reintroduce mask requirements and capacity restrictions at large events.

Plus the city has LaToya, enough said.

Jazz Fest probably gets cancelled today


If I was the organizer of Jazz Fest or French Quarter Fest I would try to get a deal and move the events to Baton Rouge or Gulfport/Biloxi just in case. I'm concerned that if Jazz Fest and French Quarter Fest get canceled again that they might not have the finances to come back.

Mardi Gras 2022 Plans for Krewes

Posted by SunshineTiger71 on 7/21/21 at 11:11 am
So we all know LaToya is going to go in dry tomorrow. She's never gotten over the unjustified criticism the city received for not canceling Mardi Gras in 2020. This despite the fact that the city did speak with the CDC and the CDC said the event could go on as planned. Ever since then she's had it out for any major event in the city.

We all knew Mardi Gras 2021 was doomed by March/April of 2020. But now Mardi Gras 2022 is starting to look just as doomed. At this point I think the parades get canceled again, or are at least forced to scale way back.

From what I heard some Krewes did have informal talks with Jefferson Parish about having Mardi Gras 2021 parades there. They didn't get far because of typical Louisiana politics. The rumor I heard was that Jefferson Parish wanted a 2 year commitment from the Krewes. I can understand the Krewes not wanting that as the members pay good money to ride and the out of town members especially are coming to parade in New Orleans, not Metairie.

With that said, in hindsight, did the Krewes make a mistake in not going to Jefferson for a 2 year commitment? With LaToya in control in Orleans has there been any talk by the Krewes on back up plans in case she goes all authoritarian on Mardi Gras again?
I was just in NOLA a few weeks ago and the biggest difference I noticed was the lack of police. Both NOPD and LSP. I know NOPD has had a shortage in police officers for years but this was the first year it was really noticeable. I saw no NOPD or LSP on Bourbon Street like in years past. I honestly only saw one police officer in the French Quarter over 3 days and that was in front of Cafe Du Monde. It was in the morning and an individual with clear mental problems was harassing people waiting in line for Cafe Du Monde to open. It took almost 20 minutes for a cop to show up to get the person away from the tourists. Very sad to see.
Absolutely pathetic but not surprising.
Honestly nothing would surprise me at this point. Plus we all know we won't get in all these events anyway. There will be a Hurricane that gets either FKF or at least one weekend of Jazz Fest canceled.
