Mardi Gras pics and movies and stuff

I wanted to also point out that Elijah was noticeably a) drunk, and b) getting off on the crowd reaction. He was being tremendously theatrical, reminding me (unsurprisingly) of Sir Ian with grand flourishes to his movement.

And after it was over, I realized I was an idiot. Instead of hanging out at the end of the route (which was near my hotel), I should've started at the beginning of the route and followed the float. Duh. I am obviously a bad stalker, as I fail to grasp one of the main connotations of the word "stalk." *sigh*

Okay, the movies are:
Elijah's float coming down the street and
the beginning of Elijah's musical number (before the people in front of me started holding up signs and screaming so you couldn't hear anymore)

They're zip files, so you'll have to download them to your own computer to play them. (I like my bandwidth the way it is.)

Mmmmmm. Also, anyone who can identify (from what little of the label we can see) what kind of beer Elijah is drinking (before tomorrow?) wins a virtual cookie and my undying gratitude. Yeah, libitina, I'm looking at you!

Now if only tomorrow goes as well, what with the meeting Dom and everything.

Also, I noticed that one of the two doubloons I got commemorates Elijah as Bacchus XXXVI. *g*
