Preparations for the bop-off are in place, yet we still haven't seized to take that moment of silence for that small chronic break (in this case its liver break) prior to lift-off, for I have witnessed the ambition, determination and steadfast craziness of my fellow colleagues well in advance to the opening ceremonies of this event. We have been training physically and preparing mentally for the event and getting psyched up as we enter this Memorial Day weekend. In spite of having Carnival not actually a part of the 30 days/ 30 bars, we still treat it as if it was and in one sense be the last preparation before the first of June (in 2 days).
If you are planning on heading to Carnival this weekend remember to stay hydrated and prepare to have a fun time. The eight block stretch of Harrison will be filled with booths of craft, music, arts and food, in addition to the two main stages that will feature live performances hosting everything from salsa, cumbia, and merengue to Briazilian samba, hip-hop and reggaeton. A variety of local acts will appear at the festival including Latin outfit Borbolett, Caravanserai and Orixa, samba troupes Fogo Na Roupa and Loco Bloco as well as Brazilian groups SambaDa and Boca do Rio. Plan for a nice time and be sure to bring your patient hat with you for this is a "ride slow homie" kind of event.
Come check for the All City crew, we'll be in full effect, especially Sunday when the parade will be kicking off bright and early. So, bring your feathered-filled flamingo outfit and your "fi-ca" attitude for it goes down!!! Shots out to the Caribbeans, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, Cuba, Bahamas, Trinidad, Brazil and all the another representing countries that will be showing up!!!
Un amor,
