Endymion Parade Route has no followers yet. Be the first one to follow.
February 13, 2010. My friends catching beads at the start of the Endymion Parade route as the 'Magicians' float went by. If you listen at about :46 you'll get to hear what it sounds like when your camera (and your fingers) are hit with a clump of heavy plastic beads.

Eddie waits for Endymion and munches on carrot. Eddie spent 10 hours out on the parade route and found carrots and trash to entertain himself. He is not yet a year old but being introduced to the family tradition of being out on the parade route for a days' worth of partying. He had a blast.
The Chee-Weez had the honor and privilege of riding and performing on Kid Rock's float during the Krewe of Endymion parade on Saturday, February 21, 2009. This is at the beginning of the parade route at the corner of Orleans Ave and City Park Ave in Mid City New Orleans. Also check out the photos at: public.fotki.com
Canal and St. Charles Avenue during a temporary stop along the parade route.
Big crowd (pre-parade) for Endymion in New Orleans - Mardi Gras 2009. It's much like tailgating for a football game, but with hundreds of thousands of people over the many miles long parade route.

Joey helped a police officer restrain a man (that was on some serious drugs) during the Endymion parade in 2008. The man had randomly attacked a couple on the parade route. Joe struggled with the man for a while before the first NOPD officer arrived on the scene. I wish we could have caught the beginning of the incident on tape. Just another day in the life of Super Joey! I love how towards the end of the video, the crowd starts clapping and patting the NOPD officer on the back- as if they were the ones that actually apprehended the man. IT WAS ALL THANKS TO JOEY REES AGAIN!
