Webster's pocket dictionary describes the term Insomnia as "the chronic inability to sleep." Hmmmmm... so what would you call people who are choosing not to sleep?? TRINI'S .... that's what!! smile

The party had a start time of 10pm and an end time of 'till.' Now you do not want to tell ah Trini that, especially when the party is at the De Panyard! We didn't get there till about 1am, but guess what? By the time we reach, de party already RAM!

DJs Choice One, Touches, Tony Tempo and a host of other selectors had a ball right through the dance. And the insomniacs, including the TJJ Crew, were all ready to go the distance. Food (provided by Jordan's Roti Shop) was in abundance and even though drinks were selling through the 'chit system' we ent complaining .... drinks were flowing!! All the right attributes were present to make de party just as nice as in 2008.

However, the rain had other plans. A few scattered showers blessed the event around 2am or so. But just imagine, nobody move a muscle. Well except for the girls who got their 'hair did' rhel nice ... they run inside the house fast, fast!! Now I don't know if we ever give allyuh the layout of De Panyard ... so here goes. To get to the gate, it's a little walk up where vines are growing on the fence that's flanking the driveway. As you enter the gate, there's an open area before you get to the house, not to mention the tons of people you have to pass through to get to it. Well not exactly a good description right? Well except for the part with the tons of people!!! As a matter of fact, that's what makes De Panyard ... De Panyard!!! And on this night, Ibis International open it up to the people of Atlanta and all Atlanta carnival-goers.

The night went well into the morning with food and drinks in running. The insomniacs weren't planning on leaving to go anywhere, and stayed they did. Even Benjai and Giselle de Wasi One couldn't resist De Panyard, getting there about 6am. Giselle even linked up with the Stray Dawg Krew, (who by the way ... as rumor would have it ... didn't miss a party for the entire weekend) for a photo opp.

With the music toning down around 7am, partygoers slowly began to trickle out. We were doing out best to hang in there but the sun started to rise, and that was our signal to go. In looking back as we left, there was a group of feters that just didn't want to leave! They wanted to go the distance!! Ibis, much love. We looking forward to 2010.
