1998 – KdV gets Souled down the River
and
The Krewe of Drips & Discharges
presents
“The Absent Bar”
In 1998, with the theme “Souled Down the River”,
we decided to revolve our theme around a Bourbon Street bar
and
French Quarter tradition – The Absinthe Bar, which had
recently
“sold out” to a Daquiri Shop.
With
42 members, we all dressed as our favorite “drink” and decorated
the
float to look like the Old Absinthe Bar.
We
handed our the “Top Ten Drink List for 1998” to parade goers along the route.
This
was the year we converted Krauss into a Class “A” Assembly Center
for
one night and our Queen, Irma Thomas, put on a fabulous
show
with Marcia Ball & Tracy Nelson,
performing
their newly released CD, “Sing It”!
