A friend found it for me and said Newsletter #5 was in the file name, it was a PDF. If I can find out the specific link I'll be sure to post it.

There is a little blurb in a story called "New Orleans Margaritaville" by Sunshine Smith in the Nov. Dec. 1992--Vol 8 #6 Cocotel.
quote:
In 1983 Jimmy served as the King of Krewe of Clones, a parade held by the Contemporary Art Museum from 1981 to 1984. This parade was held a week prior to Mardi Gras, and I'm told it was quite cleverly put together. Certain unspeakables took place which were appropriate for the time, but in this day and age of over-sensitivity would probably be frowned upon.

So Jimmy was not the king of Mardi Gras nor Carnival. I don't understand where the confusion came of JB being called 'the king of Mardi Gras' but someone made that mistake.
