"The krewe being founded, a marching society that parades with a brass band, is for anarchists, artists and all those who don't feel entirely comfortable in the trailer krewes," said Robert Trudeau at A Stone's Throw Cafe on Thur morn.
Encouraging the small audience to make masks from a simple sheet of paper, said the author of How To Mardi Gras, was symbolic of the krewe. Simplicity, fun, satire and sense of imagination is what this krewe should emphasize, he said. Trudeau is tentatively calling it the Blanc et Noir Marching Society of Shreveport.
Matthew Linn, founder and perennial force behind the Krewe of Highland, offered Trudeau's marching society a place under Krewe of Highland's umbrella. "I happily accept your offer," was Trudeau's reply.
The Blanc et Noir Society will second line at the closing of the Artspace exhibit Faces of Katrina. "We'll be marching at noon on Sat, Oct 21," he noted.
John Andrew Prime covered the talk for the ShreveportTimes.com and shot the photo, too. Find it online under his pithy headline: "New Mardi Gras society may be afoot."
