The theme for the parade is, as
always, a closely guarded secret.
The Dictator, however, assures his
denizens that no rank or office
is immune from his wit. All who
preen in public are fair game for
this irreverent band of hellions
whose battle cry connotes the essence
of the organization and, indeed,
of Mardi Gras itself:
VIVITE UT VEHATIS. VEHITE UT VIVATIS.
Le Krewe D'etat will have a "Dictator"
rather than a traditional monarch.
The
Dictator's identity will never be
revealed to the public. This year's
Le Krewe D'etat floats will, as
always, depict a satirical theme.
