Ancient Druids

Warning: The following review might be disturbing to some viewers (especially if you have a creepy mask phobia).
The best part about this parade is that it’s not at all crowded, at least where I was standing. The weather might have been a factor, as well as that it’s on a Wednesday evening.
The theme… not sure. It was such a secret that it remained a mystery, I guess. As Ryan mentions, the floats were apparently rented and were all of a circus sideshow theme. The Druids themselves were a mystery, too. Maybe some of them are baseball pitchers because holy hell did they have quite the throwing arm. The idea of some masked dude hurling shit at my head isn’t appealing, so I hid on my porch.
On that note, you might have guessed by now that I have issues. When I was at a rather impressionable age I saw the Little House on the Prairie episode where a local school girl is raped by a guy in the woods wearing a mask (Michael Landon was so ahead of his time). Masks of a certain kind (I don’t mean the pretty feathered Venetian kind) disturb the hell out of me.
Not a parade that I’d go out of my way to see, but it proceeds Nyx, which I loved, so I can see myself catching it again.

This parade had a good number of riders, but the theme was pretty weak and the floats had little to do with their titles (as they were obviously rented). The costumes they wear are nice and unique, but something about the krewe lacks a sense of put-​together-​ness.
