Knights of Chaos, 2008

"CHAOTIC CONDITIONS"

The sign says it all...

Chaos was cancelled in 2008 due to weather. One of the best parades in Mardi Gras had to stay home and wait until next year. Strong thunderstorms blew through the area at the time the lineup would have taken place. The Captains of Chaos, Babylon and Muses decided at noon that day not to risk it.

Babylon and Muses were rescheduled for later days to roll. Chaos, however, could not be rescheduled. Many of the members also ride in other parades. Therefore, alot of the members had to ride in their other parades in the following days (D'Etat, Endymion, Rex, etc.)

Footnote: The rain ended at 6:15. If the parade would have been allowed to postpone for an hour or so, it would have been a great Thursday night for parades on St. Charles.

Below are photographs of the work I did for Chaos for their 2008 parade. I painted 6 of their chariots and did touch-up work on a 7th (not shown). The angles aren't the best. As the den is so cramped, it is hard to photograph in there. However, these are the only photos I know of that were taken of the parade.

The Levee, in the February 2008 issue, published the designs of the floats. They can be found by clicking here.
