Putting the rumours to rest !

Two bands embroiled in controversy as to whether or not their bands are doing well, or in the case of Elements, whether they would even reach on the road or even if they were going to join forces have put all doubts aside.

Spice has sent out a group email on Facebook with photos of their costumes in production and Elements has posted their distribution schedule! I guess they are both ready for the road!

Rain Rain Go Away!!!

This morning I woke up to the worst rainy weather since last November and this is coming after lots of rain yesterday as well. This is extreme cause for concern as "rainy season" is supposed to be at an end right about now and we had sunny conditions last week. Keep your fingers crossed that the weather improves over the next week and a half, because I will seriously cry if I wake up on Carnival Tuesday and meet the Savannah looking like this photo which I took this morning at 8:15AM:

No Big Stage for Masqueraders this year

Despite a VERY misleading photograph caption in the Newsday on Saturday I can confirm that the stage that is currently constructed in the Queens Park Savannah will not be used by masqueraders. Carnival 2009 will, once again, see masqueraders on the streets and crossing the judging point in front of the Savannah.

For a look at the incorrect Newsday caption which states:

"BIG STAGE: Workmen make last minute preparations on the new big stage at the Queen's Park Savannah. For the last two years, masqueraders have been playing mas on the road, but this year a new big stage was constructed at the Queen's Park Savannah.

Click HERE.

13 MORE DAYS!!

Rumour has it that Kaotic has scrapped two sections from their 2009 Carnival presentation "Life Unleashed"; allegedly gone are "Untamed" and "Emerald Viper".

Three BIG BANDS sold out, two more weeks to Carnival 2009 and only one begins distribution today, I guess the early bird really catches the worm. I cannot tell you how excited I am to be at collection tomorrow; looking forward to my Caged Canary Cocktails! Sources say the Lineup for TRIBE is as secret as where Rihanna is hiding out right now, but and all will be revealed soon enough! Word on the street is that TRIBE will be rolling out surprises for their rolling road party.. humph! Hope they will be welcomed surprises.

I am so special, so special.. so special..

TRIBERS finally got the email on distribution yesterday, and even though I already had this information I was quite intrigued by this bit of info:

TRIBE is having a DISTRIBUTION LIME! I see they will be offering "section cocktails" plus eats... nice one, since distribution isn't the liveliest of processes!

In addition a lil birdie whispered to me that ALL Front Line masqueraders will be getting something a little extra special in their costume box this year! Aren't we special?

Anyway I am liking the little extras that TRIBE is putting out for their fifth year anniversay, I am just hoping that the "rolling road party" promised has even MORE "GOOD" surprises for us masqueraders!

Congratulations to our winner!!!!

The winner of a Silver Pair of Picadilly Boots is:

Christina Mc Elhone

Christina submitted the best 100 words stating why BOOTS are the best choice for Carnival, I thought it was quite witty and she was also one of the few that actually stuck to 100 words:

"Chipping down da road" in my mas boots! Reasons why meh mas boots are the way to go: They lasting right through, from "J'Ouvert Morning" to "Las Lap" evening taking the "presshah" off my feet. The little raise they give me helps my "Heavy-T Bummpa" keep shape and looking fine on the road. I doing my "jab jab" "hard wine" all in "wining time" with my "rum and roti" in hand. When I whining on my man these boots give me "cold sweat" and the comfort they give me ensures that I am "not going home till the morning comes!!"

Second prize winner of two pairs of DUPE flip flops is:

Sada Creese

Boots are the preferred choice for masqueraders because it adds a dimension of daredevil satisfaction and rebellion for the wearer. It is not the preferred wear for other occasions (in Trinidad) because it prompts a people to ask “Does she feel she in d cold or wah?” However at Carnival time, that time where one can feel absolutely free to express their fashionable yet unique individuality while feeling comfortable in a pair of Piccadilly boots, the self-consciousness temporarily disappears and the beauty of Carnival appears like a natural mist, evoking euphoria.

Wild Antz

Wild Ants? Ants? Flag Like Ants? If you don't know Machel dropped a new tune yesterday, the one we were all waiting for as a Road March contender to Faye Ann's "Meet Superblue", and the tune is called "Wild Antz"...

I cannot be the only one who went "huh" when I heard it this morning! It actually sounds like an advertisement for Red Ants!

Oh well, Jumbie had to grow on me too so who knows....
Thoughts? Comments?

St. George’s College fete

Somehow the incorrect details for Georgian Jubilation Fete, hosted by St George's College was circulated. Consequently the following press release give details on the CORRECT date which is Feburary 15th, one day after Valentines!

St. George’s College fete

Known for showing fete lovers a good time, St. George’s College will be hosting its annual all-inclusive fete, Georgian Jubilation VI on February 15, 2009 at the school grounds on 6th Avenue, 10th Street, Barataria from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. Now in its sixth year, Georgian Jubilation will feature top soca acts, and give patrons a taste of tomorrow’s soca stars. Tickets cost $350.

“Georgian Jubilation gives feters a true all-inclusive experience, for an affordable price,” says Dr. Jean Campbell, a member of the organising committee. “The fete is a major event in aid of the school, and our focus is to ensure that our patrons get the cleanest and most enjoyable party experience possible. In the process, we are raising funds to purchase a much needed school bus.”

The ever-popular Roy Cape All Stars – featuring Blaxx, Trini Jacobs, and Olatunji Yearwood, big band Surface, and JMC 3Veni will be performing. Calypso icon Black Stalin will also grace the stage, as will Iwer George. St George’s College has also added one of its own graduates, Richard “Chynee” Valentine, to the performing cast. Chynee, who has scored huge popularity in this year’s edition of Synergy TV Soca Star, is a multi-talented rising star known for being able to perform various genres of music, from sweet reggae and R&B to infectious soca music. His recent hit, “They wanna be like”, can be heard on the airwaves. Chynee originally began performing at St. George's College in Carnival concerts and competitions held at the school's hall. DJ Richard Simply Smooth, also a past student, and Midas Sounds will provide the soundtrack for the fete.

Georgian Jubilation has become an annual reunion with the first generation of graduates (class of 1958) to the most recent, as well as their friends and families, attending. The fete has garnered a strong following, with its premium service, well-stocked bar and food galore. As in previous years, organisers have taken steps to ensure a safe and comfortable environment, providing a well-lit and secure parking lot, and escorts to accompany guests to their cars after the fete. Two lucky patrons will also receive door prizes courtesy of local jeweller, Kanhai Ragubir.

Prominent past students of St. George’s College include Heather Headley – R&B star, Dr. Linda Baboolal – former President of the Senate, the Honourable Joseph Ross – Minister of Tourism, and His Excellency Manideo Persad – High Commissioner to India.

Georgian Jubilation is regarded as the last school all-inclusive for the season. For tickets ($350) call 686-4857, 681-1770, or 638-8766.
