FRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATER - 2006

"Red meat's not bad for you - it's green and black meat that's bad for you."


Yeah, we know, some of us are spoiled rotten

This year was a rough one. Yeah, we know, the show must go on and all that, but this was really pushing it. Most of us had survived Katrina and Rita and the flooding that followed. Several members and countless friends had lost their homes. A number of the Rue Bourbon family had been relocated and couldn't make it back. There was a lot of pressure on everyone, but we knew this was important - the first real Mardi Gras parade since the storms - a celebration that people were surviving and rebuilding their lives.

Then, a week before the parade, one of Rue Bourbon’s founding members Glen Blue died in his sleep. Everyone wished he was still with us, and as much as everyone cared about him I am sure that he was.

This nationally featured parade and the accompanying festivities proved that the heart of New Orleans is still alive and beating strong. The Krewe Rue Bourbon will continue to “march on” in our hopes to rebuild a better New Orleans, “one parade at a time”.
