Chaos is a fun parade with lots of local satire. The floats are fun but often zip by to quickly to allow you to fully read/digest the joke. So look out for card decks to explain all the floats. My mom was gleeful to get a pack last night.I do feel bad for Chaos sometimes. While it's satirical, it's considered second to Krewe D'Etat. It's sandwiched between the traditional Babylon and the mad-popular Muses and so I think they get short changed.It's a good parade with good bands and, last night, in my area, they were generous with throws.

This parade is the second of three on the Thursday night leading up to the great weekend. It was a bit of a break in the middle of two awesome parades.A bit of history of the Knights of Chaos, pulled from their website is as follows. The Knights of Chaos was organized during the summer of 2000. The group is made up of veterans of other parading and non-parading Carnival krewes. Chaos parades on the Thursday before Fat Tuesday, a night that for more than a century had been known as "Momus Thursday." (The Knights of Momus paraded from 1872-1992, when they departed the streets). Chaos employs Momus floats and presents a satirical parade in the grand Momus tradition.While it is just all right, I could probably deal with missing it if it were not for the two awesome parades it is sandwiched between. For the question YELP is now asking about gender neutral restrooms, the only ones are the port-a-johns. That is sad, but true for all Mardi Gras parades.

Krewe of Chaos, you suck.Seriously. You are the meat in the sandwich of two awesome parades... Babylon and Muses, and you can't manage to throw anything good? Come on! In Babylon, I was so weighed down with throws, I had to drop them off in my car before the next parade. Out of all of your floats, I got 5 pairs of beads. FIVE! Talk about lame.Members of your crew seemed more intent with drinking than with throwing and when the float would stop, they would just stand there drinking their Bud Light and not throwing anything. What gives?PLEASE fix this before next year! Uptown people want throws and you are the opening act for MUSES! Act like it!

I enjoyed chaos because they actually threw to crowds. Yes they were drunk but they were throwing beads and souvenirs left and right. I will definitely say this. Babies are a must. The riders were looking for the babies and kiddies, so definitely have a baby. Just grab a kid and say "let's get some stuff"!. You'll thank me in the long run. I'm telling yah! I just really loved the atmosphere about the parade. Everything turned out well. I enjoyed it!

The Knights of Chaos present what is by far my favorite Parade of the Carnival Season. The sort of wit and old school Momus style mockery and satire they use make for the prefect parade theming.

Got some cool stuff including a colored cup with silver writing. Nothing to write home about though, but worth it to get there early and reserve a spot for Muses.

Just a bunch of drunk dudes that could barely stand up, much less throw beads. The only thing I got from the parade was the view of their ass-cracks as they would bend over to get even more Budweiser. DISGUSTING and very stingy with the throws. Overall the floats were good satire but the people in them were just a bunch of pigs. The two parades around it(Muses and Babylon) were fantastic though. This one was just a let down.

Chaos is just that... chaos. Sometimes they throw well and move quickly as a solid leadup to Muses. And sometimes they are cheap and take for-ev-er. One can never tell with Chaos, but I guess that makes sense.
