Nutty do-it-yourself Mardi Gras krewe meet-up in New Orleans

A dozen leaders of downtown do-it-yourself Mardi Gras parades and marching groups, including The Golddigger Babydolls social aid and pleasure club, The Society of Saint Anne, Krewe du Vieux, ‘tit Rex, Krewe de Jeanne d'Arc, The Intergalactic Krewe of Chewbacchus, and the New Orleans Baby Doll Ladies gathered at a St. Claude Avenue art gallery to celebrate the 2017 parading season, and the post-Katrina growth of the below-Canal Street Carnival scene. It was a first. Watch as poet Chuck Perkins explains the scene.
