Backshun J'Ouvert
Sell off! Sell Afffffff!! lol. but no really, was a grrreat re-introduction to what real J'Ouvert is all about. mud, paint, liquor and bare vibes!Things didn't start off so smoothly, went to pick up costumes Friday (J'Ouvert started at 1am Sat morning) and the 'boss' came out with a look after about 15 mins of looking for my costume. Apparently something went wrong during the costume transfer process and I was down for the wrong section. Well after hearing my trini accent that problem got solved one time(tourists rule!), doh mind my apparently medium backside ended up in a XS shorts lol. The boss and two other manager looking ppl were very cool about the whole thing. The two 'greeters' as they called themselves kept my friend and I company cracking jokes and talking ish while the boss sorted out the issue. Overall I was left with a favorable impression about their service just by that first interaction.
Then the day started. Dunno about other drinks but Rum Punch and Rum and Coke which is what I was drinking were flowing like water! That rum punch esp had a kick to it that well...had me up on the truck by the end of the morning lol. kudos to the bartender.
As for vibes...this band had vibes to spare lol. EVERYBODY was hype! Doh talk for when the rain come down, all u heard was 'guh down in d rain, guh down in d rain' as the dj pulled out a remix and the whole band most obediently continued wukkin up, jumpin and gettin on baddd! The route ended near a beach and that was all i needed, took a nice lil dip in d salt after breakfast then it was straight to Wadadah Mornin Brek Out.
Overall J'Ouvert experience on a scale of "(1)never ever doing dat again!" to "(10)sell afff i eeen that nxt yr!" did you even have to guess? 10 of course!
Below: One of my (and everybody else in Bdos) fave tunes for CropOver, Lil Rick's Go Down. This song took him to the second spot in the Road March competition which was no surprise as crowd reaction to it is ridic! Congrats sir!!
