That is saying a whole lot coming from me girl! In fact, I get so excited at his concert that I'm depressed afterwards because it's over. <BR/> <BR/>Thank you so much for blogging all of these details about carnival. I had no idea that it lasted so long and involved so much for adults, children, musicians, and everyone in general! I would never have known all this! I like the 4:30 am party where adults drink alcohol in baby bottles. Now that rocks! Us old folks can sleep all night, wake up at 4:00am and start drinking. Hey, if you don't start drinking in the morning you can't say you drank all day now can you?! hahahaha Oh, and I'd want to wear snapdragons in a pot in my head. <BR/><BR/>I can't wait to see your pictures from Carnival and what you wear to each event. This is going to be a blast. You and your sisters look so cool in the pic from last year. <BR/><BR/>Hugs, PennyPennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17065657308427618372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-448232093136217051.post-21755719639322698442008-10-27T15:13:00.000-07:002008-10-27T15:13:00.000-07:00Oh how very exciting Raxx!!!

The very first time I ever heard steel pans/drums was down in the Barbados and it was such music to the ears. How fun it would also be; to be a child and dress up in those costumes. Now as for the Band Leaders, they a sound a bit like OUR Politicians :) (We vote them in (they get a Title). We pay our taxes (which they spend), they raise our taxes again (because of logistics?)....and they get all the credit (we don't)). <BR/>Looking forward to your next Carnival post.

I would love to see those little children all cute in their costumes. Like Lynette's comment, Carnival does sound a lot like Mardi Gras we have. Here on Galveston Island it has been celebrated for almost 100 years! I don't know what will happen this coming February because of the hurricane.<BR/>Be a sweetie,<BR/>shelia :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
