Captains log: Saturday morning, October 7th 2006. Today the weather is spectacular; we've just arrived at Chez Collin after some great explorations at Scruples Block-O 2006. The plan is to hold ah fresh (bathe), take a five and resume explorations. A sudden and very alarming noise accompanied by vibrations that shook my very being brought the plan to an abrupt end. Once we regained our composure we realized that the Palm Treo 650 had hit again. It was only a matter of time before we were transported to the next exploration site, Solo on The Bay.

Bap bap we reach! No sleep! And we na goin home til the morning come, AGAIN. Well if yuh was in Red Eye Breakfast Party last year you'll know why this year they cop the TJJ award for fastest growing fete. We roll up bout 2PM and dance was rrrram. If yuh see line outside still all kinda madness. Food buss by the time we reach and iz federation to find a space by the bar to get ah drink. Usually that is when you start to wonder if beach might ah be the better move. Not this time! If yuh see vibes in the place. Ah really cyah say ah have any recent reference points, but I sure do have nuff years of experience partying in Brooklyn and lawwwdddd the vibes that was in that place take meh back. I ain't see it in years. Back to Basics put down ah set there, breds, ah had to look and see if he was usin' turntables, cause dat fella was doing some shite (excuse meh French) there with CD's make yuh lorse yuh mind. And lose their minds they did. Natural Freaks was on the mic for Back to Basics and the synergy was definitely there. Did I mention the vibes that was in that place??!!

Party was billed to start at 6am and go until. It was definitely a Brooklyn affair up in there. All yuh seein is bottles ah d goose and Moet everywhere yuh look. Ah never see a bar have tuh go and buy more champagne glasses. Beers cyah geh a chance to get cold. Club owners was in dey glee and so were we. Imagine yuh bar sellin' out durin the day on a Saturday and yuh name is not Smokey or Bunty. Brooklyn turned Miami upside down that morning. Did I mention the smallies? Lawwwwd. Well yuh had yuh smallies in the thick of the action, yuh smallies who like to wine on top of speakers, and yuh smallies who just want to have a good time but not have to deal with Brooklyn's sweatiest. IMHO those were the sexiest :-) Just chillin in one of the rooms just off the main dance floor, boom, eye candy fuh days.

Ah wish we had a happy ending to this one. Was about 4 o'clock Mr. Slaughter (X-calibur) and Hypa Hoppa (Radioactive), walk in the dance with TURSE in dey eye. Man they look like they was goin and DONE d place in a Trini sort ah way. That would have been perfect too cause after Back to Basics buss up the dance some sound come on and rest 2 load of dog doo doo on the turntables and rest the needle down on it, kill the vibes with bout 45 minutes of hip hop and reggae that wasn't old enough to be exciting but was not new enough to be entertaining either, yuh know them non descript tunes that just doh do it fuh yuh, well right. Anyhow, D'Bandit from the T DOT came and perform CPR on the crowd. Back to Basics grab the mic fuh him and the vibes was building back up. Man, D'Bandit rinse Peter Ram big big tune for Crop Over 2k6 "Woman By My Side" on every spin cycle, as Ricardo (Back to Basics) was chanting down de mic makin people feel like we already chipping down de road for Miami Carnival. The fete was at it's peak, then brrrrraaaps ... D'Bandit buss Biggie Irie's "Nah Going Home" … party gone clear, yes! Slaughter and Hoppie real itchin' now.

And then it happened....... A man decide he was goin and apply one dose of a green shiny substance that often houses a beverage made from hops (a beer bottle), to the skull of his woman who apparently was applying pressure on another individuals genital area with her derriere, in rhythm with the music (also called wining). Well that was all she wrote for Red Eye Miami 2006! To the fella who done the party, I feel yuh best defense is tuh just ask the judge what he wudda do if he buy 2 plane ticket, hotel, rent a car, buy drinks and fete tickets for Miami carnival and see what you see. I feel yuh might get off with a warnin' yes.....

Amor and de rest of de Red Eye crew, allyuh might need a bigger venue next year, buh we dey. Thanks for the love.
