It's done

Carnival 2010 has come and gone.
I have a rash around my neck and wrists 'cause as usual my skin has reacted to costume jewelery. Pulled a muscle in leg...but I had a blast.

TRIBE has gotten just too big. They absolutely MUST downsize, cut the band in half, I doh know... do something...it has become unmanageable.
I must give props, kudos etc to the security of TRIBE..they have the hardest job and they did well on both Monday and Tuesday. Well up to about 6:30ish on Tuesday anyways...doh know what happened after that 'cause I left the band then. They tossed stormers out during the day, and even managed to maintain some semblance of order whilst we tried to palance, chip, wine etc across Ariapita just after Adam Smith Sq. Since when is it ok for there to be only enough space in the road for the truck and 2 lines of masqueraders on either side?!!! Isn't that some safety issue?


Anyways I'll do a full review in my next post of  my Carnival 2010.


Hasta Luego

Shells i wanted to know if it was just me who was hallucinating! Did the trucks get wider because I never remember squeezin up by no truck and not even having room on the other side of the truck either!!!!!

Nah mimi, not unless we both smoked some strong sh!t...it was madness. And the 'spectators' who insisted on not moving to allow the masqueraders to pass, if yuh fell or get push, too flicking bad! Dem trucks not small, and a band with 4000+ masqueraders needs room.
