Mardi Gras Mayhem
2006

Queen Abby and King Richard held court on Jay Street.

Most of the neighborhood gathers
in the kitchen ...

Colleen & Eric pay homage to
their Queen & King.

Vren and Courtney under the fabulous "wrought iron" balcony that
Good King Richard created.

Another "balcony" was placed over the bar ...

Mike & Vren, sporting beads, glittery shirts, and glowing bracelets
...

Neighborhood girls ... Colleen, Courtney & Nancy.

Following the cutting of the King Cake, James negotiates the surrender
of the crown....

From Rich to Chris!
All Hail King Christopher!

Who chooses the lovely & talented
Susan to reign with him!
All hail
Queen Susan and King Chris!

A peaceful transfer of power ...
(Abby looks delighted to be free of her royal duties, doesn't she?)
And the Krewe of Beverwyck
monarchy returns to Lancaster Street!

Until next year ...
The Krewe of Beverwyck bids you
bon soir!
