SOS– Lost In Paradise. The Carnival Passion Edition fete where the 3 S’s could not only be found but also enjoyed as well. Yup... Sun, Sea & Soca all in sweet Trinidad at Bay View in Maracas Bay.
Now the fete went from 3 to 10 PM and was called a DAY-CLUSIVE, but folks with the amount of fetes going on, TJJ didn't reach the DAY-CLUSIVE until way in the night. At a quarter past eight to be more precise ;-) Well at this hour de place dun full and de vibes pumping. As we made our way to the bar, we took a closer look at the crowd and the overall scenes. Things looking nice!
After getting a drink in reasonable time from the premium bar, we then proceed to see what was on the food menu. For the light eaters, there was de usual doubles and corn soup. Then there was the main course which consisted of some tasty Creole dishes. All selections readily available to all patrons who wished to tantalize their taste buds. There was also an enticing Pineapple Chow for those who felt for a lil spice in their life.
It's now officially the middle of Carnival week and at this time most of the ex-pats and foreigners are already on de inside, so it was not surprising that a large percentage of patrons consisted of such folks. Big up to all de MIA, DC, NY, Philly, London and Toronto crews. Aye you know we ain't forget de Trinis! Around 9:30 PM, some female patrons were even given gifts as a Valentine's gesture from the promoters.
The sounds of sweet iron followed shortly after as the rhythm section played to the delight of the crowd allowing DJs to change hands. DJs Detrimental and Richard Simply Smooth surely set the mood musically from what we saw & heard. At 10 PM it was announced that the fete would even go on for another hour, and as much as TJJ would have loved to stay and enjoy the vibes as we had now settled in, it was time to hit de road. Well after bouncing starter we made our journey to the next Fetealotathon® event, where we were suppose to meet up with the rest of Team TJJ who were also out covering de various fetes. "Bacchanal Wednesday" here we come!
