My band Drive West played last Saturday, which also happened to be the day of New Orleans’ first Mardi Gras parade of the 2012 season, Krewe du Vieux. The Man and I dressed up in honor of the parade, and Crista Rock, a photographer friend of the band, took these fantastic shots.

The Man is crazy about costumes (even more than I am). I love the shrimp and crawfish with LED lights underneath.
