A very inspiring introduction! We may not be a guild, or even a war band or a krewe, and not even a family, but we are a group of adventurers united in one mission.

Toujours pas moyen pour les grands chars des krewes comme Bacchus et Rex et Endymion et Zulu de descendre Bourbon Street tandis que des célébrités desecond plan jetaient des colliers et des doublons aux masses frénétiques, […]
