Bacchus  

 This is what Steve had to say about being "Bacchus 1991" when we met up with him the summer of 2002

This is the Bacchus god of wine celebration in New Orleans. 1991. I was king of Bacchus. It was the most incredible experience. The attention that was given to me during that celebration. The New orleans mardi gras, the largest parade is Bacchus. they put so much attention into the parade, the whole year they make the costumes and the float designs all for this one parade which is actually viewed by a million people its like a million people line the streets, and they have all these floats people ride on.This year I think the king was Harry Connick Jr (1993) but I was the 1991 king and they start designing this outfit for you a year in advance. It takes a year for this gentleman to make this outfit its like a roman emperor and they put you on this huge float and they strap you in and twenty floats go down before you. you go through the crowds and people throw beads and coins and one of the coins, well the only coin they were throwing, was the coin with my picture on it this bacchus XXIII (23) I was the 23rd Bacchus. That was so great! :)
