No flyers printed.... no online ads taken out.... radio ads taken etc etc.... but they party have 1500+ people in it...Wow! How is this possible? Well if you multiply the square root of beautiful women who attended last year by pie times 3, you add 1000 coolers and take away all the non alcoholic drinks, then include a ...

People......we're in Houston TX. Can you imagine what the temperatures are like down here? A staggering 100 degrees +, has been the norm all weekend, with the days reaching its high point between 2 and 3pm.

The third leg of this Carnival Relay, did not come without a fumble out of the blocks. But the good thing about a great athlete (Carnival Committee) is not how you fall but how you get up. And much like Ato Bolden or Hussain Bolt, the Houston Caribfest, once again burned the track with another star filled cast for the TX natives. With a venue change last minute that could have cost the committee their entire event, the Houston Caribfest organizers quickly found the ...

Ohhh My Laaaawwwwwddddd!!!! Dr. Ram Dass said that he meant to warn me! Steupes…..The 2011 Houston Carnival Jouvert was pure madness! After arriving at the ‘Truck Yard’….(Yes…I did say Truck Yard people) I wasn’t sure where to start as people where everywhere! This event reminded me of the days when P.S.A on Long Circular Road in Trinidad hosted events and was packed to capacity. Both inside and outside was packed to capacity….

Apparently 2011 is the year of the Carnivals. From Trinidad and Tobago Carnival... considered one of the best in years... to Atlanta Carnival... easily their best parade of the bands in their 23 years of existence.... and now Houston, TX. And if the Ultra GLO featuring KES the Band, is any indication of what’s to come over the ...
