Spicy Scotch Bonnet...........

All 10 sections are ready to launch and they are all HOT!

This Saturday (19th July) at Zen - the full showcasing of the Spice presentation for Carnival 2009 - "The Missing Ingredient...." Presentation starts at 11pm.

You've seen Brown Sugar, Sea Salt and now snapshots of Scotch Bonnet. Be there on Saturday to witness the unveiling of Golden Basil, Mediterranean Borage, Garden of Sage, Cardamon, Melilot Bleu, Peppercorns and Paprika.

Also www.spicecarnival.com officially launches at midnight on Saturday.

Well, I heard that TWO sections of Spice are sold out already! During the preview interested people reserved space and the maximum of 200 persons per section were met for both of the "hot" sections. Have no fear, sources have revealed that they might increase the numbers for those sections, which would be the smart thing to do as how can you launch and have sections already sold out? I mean, leave a few costumes so it can sell out within the first ten minutes of registration like some other bands *cough* Silver Mist*cough!

More pictures of Scotch Bonnet to be revealed as we lead up to Spice's big launch on Saturday!

So, got the official email from TRIBE announcing the band launch, though I posted that information on Monday; I am loving the colourful invitation by the way, a hint of the vibrant costumes to come perhaps?

UK TRIBE Fete London – Sat 23^rd Aug 2008

TRIBE IGNITE Miami - Thurs 9th Oct 2008

Seems like if you bought your costume from someone else you are sh*t out of luck for a TLC card since they will only be assigned to people who signed up at the camp during the initial period in August 2007!! That stipulation is going to make some people very unhappy, seeing as the costume resale market was a brisk trade. And how are overseas masqueraders going to collect their TLC by next Wednesday?? I am thinking this is part of TRIBE's plan to cut down the number of masqueraders in the band!!! The drama has begun.

In some more pleasant TRIBE news, I was chatting with my friend yesterday and she was giving me details of the decor TRIBE is doing for the launch since we both happen to know the designer who is working on it! Pier 1 is going to be transformed into a giant birdcage.....interesting! I am also seeing models in cages strategically placed around the venue, but maybe my imagination is just a bit too vivid!

p.s Ent I tell allyuh registration will start on August 9th? humph!
