It's time. Friday was a very long day: after work, we went to the Den then to PAN central in an undisclosed location in the Marigny and put the finishing touches on our costumes. We even watched Adama and krewe retake control of the frakking fleet on Battlestar Galatica.
Dr. A aka the Mirliton Maven and I will be hitting the streets with the Mystic Krewe of PAN Saturday night along with Blogger superhero all-stars, Ray Shea and Lisa Pal. I will, of course, be Super Blogger and will be the only person in the parade with a computer mouse on a hat and a keyboard dangling from their neck. The front of our float, and one of our throws, will feature my much missed friend, fellow NOLA blogger and PAN krewe mate Ashley Morris. It will be weird parading without the Big Mon but his dawlin' wife Hana will be with us physically and Ash will be there in spirit. Many people remember the Perfesser for his rants but not me: I think of his wit, generosity and kindly disposition. He was one of a kind. This one's for you, mon ami.
Here's a wee PAN sneak preview:

I can't wait. The pics are excellent. Thanks for the preview. I'll be
somewhere around the Royal Orleans (I think).
Some people are pronouncing this Krewe Doo Voo, applying a little Speverend
Jooner Ruju to one of our more ramous local religions...
