	Krewe du Vieux - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Krewe du Vieux was established in 1987.
		Several of the sub-krewes predate the Krewe du Vieux, originating as walking clubs or as sub-krewes of the defunct Krewe of Clones in the 1970s and early 1980s.
		The Krewe du Vieux is perhaps simultaneously the most individualistic and the most traditional of all New Orleans parading krewes.

	krewe - Article and Reference from OnPedia.com
		Krewe members are assessed fees in order to pay for the parade and/or ball.
		Krewes with low membership fees may also require members to work to help build and decorate the parade floats and make their own costumes; higher priced krewes hire professionals to do this work.
		Parading krewe members are usually additionally responsible for buying their own throws, the trinkets thrown to parade spectators according to New Orleans tradition.

	Krewe du Vieux - One Language (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The Krewe du Vieux is a New Orleans Carnival (or "Mardi Gras") Krewe, originally and more fully known as the Krewe du Vieux Carre ("Vieux Carre" being another term for the city's French Quarter).
		No recorded music blares from boom-box trucks, for the Krewe du Vieux uses music only from live bands.
		The Krewe du Vieux is the only Krewe still allowed to parade through the French Quarter (other than some small walking Krewes on Mardi Gras Day); Krewes with larger floats have been prohibited in the narrow streets of the old town since the 1970s.

	Mardi Gras: The Krewes And The Parades
		Krewes are the masking and parading clubs (or social organizations) for which New Orleans is both famous and infamous.
		Associated with the Krewe of Clones and later, the Krewe de Vieux, the origin of Phunny Phorty Phellows' name came from a Nineteenth Century Krewe which first appeared in 1878 and were known for their hijinks and mockery.
		Because this Krewe designs its parade route to pass in front of fourteen institutions that care for persons with disabilities and illnesses, it is also known as the "Krewe of the Shut-Ins." Among Thoth's throws are 3-D die-cut metallic necklaces, 6" stuffed polar bears and many varieties of specialized doubloons.

	Metroblogging New Orleans: Krewe Du Vieux
		Krewe du Vieux is especially worth noting here, as its explicit themes usually prevent it from garnering much coverage by the mainstream media.
		I must say that the du Vieux paraders seemed to be a nasty bunch, more determined to make political inroads on Democratic party members (Blanco, Nagin) than determined to try to find humor in the tragedy New Orleanians have endured.
		I think the Krewe du Vieux was a disgusting, dull bunch, and it was totally inappropriate to politicize the parade in the way that they did.

		The krewe procured a gross of small plastic ducks for $5, and had a party the night before the parade to decorate them as “Ortho-ducks.” Spray-painted gold, they had glittered blue eyes and yarmulkes done in a myriad of glittered colors.
