Historical moment - 2010 T&T election results

A new era has dawned in T&T:

1. A Poeple's Partnership (PP) coalition has won the general elections with a result of 29 (PP) to 12 (PNM). The PP is made up of the parties/groups of UNC, COP, TOP, MSJ and NJAC. With MSJ and NJAC all being represented by the COP on the ballots. TOP is Tobago based and well UNC is UNC.
2. A woman-led coalition at that won. 
3. T&T is poised to have its first female Prime Minister sworn in...Congratulations Mrs. Kamla Persad Bissessar

I wait patiently to see what this new coalition party will bring to the table in governing T&T, 'cause despite your political allegiance we all still have to work, play and coexist here.

Change was asked for, change has happened...can we live with the change?

Happenings

Hi folks, i've been m.i.a. for a while there...work stress, personal life stress, just STRESS all over! A couple weeks vacation should cure all that stress, at least that's what I'm hoping :-)
Anyways, in the midst of this silly season that is the run up to elections in Trinidad and Tobago, there have been a couple happenings in the Carnival world. I'll try to capture what I can and post links where more details are available.


New Bands
Yep, you read that right, there is a new band, or make that at least TWO new bands on the scene.Oasis Carnival and Skullduggery. Oasis seems to be Elements reborn if the info on their FB page is accurate, and Skullduggery well they seem to have their act in order to present something different for T&T Carnival 2011.


Existing Bands
Island People mas camp has moved. 
Our mas camp has now moved to 50 O'Connor Street in Woodbrook, Port-of-Spain, which is at the corner of O'Connor Street and Warren Street. Our new telephone numbers are: 622-8145 and 622-9857. For any enquiries, feel free to call us or email us at info@islandpeoplemas.com 
...oh and their theme for 2011: 'Shades of the Universe'
TRIBE sent out a survey a week or so ago. Interesting questions, hope the masqueraders who were so vocal on Carnival Monday and Tuesday filled out the survey and let their opinions be known.


Band Launching
If things go as they've been going for the past few years, band launching season will begin in about a month. Soooo who'll begin the season? TRIBE,  Harts...someone else? We wait and see...'cause so far only Skullduggery has made their launch date (July 4th) known.
