Miami Carnival is in the air!!! I landed in Fort Lauderdale Airport from
LAX ready for the festivities! First stop ... Bacchanal Wednesday!!! To
get to Sosta Lounge which is in Downtown Hollywood, you have to drive through
all these quaint little restaurants and wine bars with live performances right
outside. Now, for the amount of people out and about on a Wednesday night ...CNN
must be talking about another South Florida, cuz it does not seem like there is
any economical crisis hitting this part of town. Especially if we are talking
about Carnival hunters!!! TJJ
reach around midnight, and it seemed like everybody was waiting for us cuz, as
soon as we reach, the place started getting raaaam and hhhhhot! Temperature wise,
as well as, vibes ... a fete with free drinks all night for the ladies is a good
move, even if its selective drinks, as we are not going to dry up your bar
like the guys would and well, the fete attracts more ladies that way! Bacchanal
Wednesday had a lineup of very sexy girlies and cuuuute boyz! (I know you
guys dont like being called cute or boys for that matter but hey, its
my write-up! Ahahaha!) Now,
my friend Victor from Grenada told me how he thought the fete was loaded with
guys and not so many women ... I seriously did not notice but thought I should
mention it as he was my male eyes for the night! You can check out the gallery
and judge for yourself, but hey! If that's the case, GOOD FOR US (LADIES)!! A
fete with more choices for the ladies than for the guys is not such a bad thing
... now thats the change we need! The
DJs ... Crown Prince from Orlando, Eternal Vibes from Ft.
Lauderdale, Anonymous from New York, Selectah Genesis from Miami
and Gemstone Sound Intl from 104.7 Switch FM; gave us just the right
mix of new and old Soca. The sweetest thing was the diversity of island music
- you had Trini, Bajan, Vincy, Lucian, Antiguan tunes that gave the fete that
sweet sweet umph! You see, for those of us that dont only go to Trinidad
for Carnival and have heard all these other great tunes, this is huge! Big up
to all the DJs that made this fete a success! Mission accomplished! Aaah!
The beginning of the Miami Carnival 2008 Fetealotathon® ... and Bacchanal
Wednesday was a grrrreat start! And closing down about 4:30 AM is not such
a bad thing for the middle of the week! Hmmm! Soooo many other fetes to attend,
friends to reunite with and sooo many wonderful Carnival hunters to meet!! The
rest of the TJJ crew is in the process of flying in, Miami Carnival is a TJJ reunion
spot, and we got nuff crew and crew ... so watch out for your photos/videos on
