From up top: Photos from riding in Zulu
The night before heading out to the New Orleans Arena to ride in Zulu, I rode on Orpheus. It was my first time and it showed: I had too few beads, didn’t get enough sleep the night before and got to the convention center just in time for the parade. It was an amazing experience, as I’ve been looking up at floats for my entire life, so the hiccups didn’t slow me down.
