	Endymion
		As the most generous club in Carnival, krewe members lived up to their motto, "Throw until it hurts." Literally, millions of beads, cups, doubloons and trinkets were tossed-then as now, no one goes home from an Endymion parade empty-handed.
		Endymion's membership represented, then as it does now, a cross section, a virtual microcosm of New Orleans, from cab drivers to attorneys, from janitors to U.S. Senators.
		Most of all, Endymion has succeeded because it is fun-fun for the public and fun for the members who live for their special and for their very special parade.

		The New Orleans City Council on Thursday gave up its quest to return the Krewe of Endymion to its traditional Mid-City route this year, acquiescing in Mayor Ray Nagin's decision that the superkrewe should parade Uptown because of a shortage of police officers.
		Jennifer Weishaupt, economic development coordinator for the Mid-City Neighborhood Organization, which led the fight to get Endymion back home this year, said a commitment that the parade will be back in Mid-City in 2008 represents "another sign that New Orleans is recovering" and another reason for displaced New Orleanians to return home.
		Without it, she said, what could be the best day of the year for neighborhood businesses would become the worst day of the year.
