Damn, once again the energy was off the chain!!!
This time, I believe there was less violence though. I attended this year's festivities with a new sweetheart so maybe that's why I had so much more fun ;-) We went to a neighborhood lot party (tents set-up, DJ + great food/drink) on Sunday and then an all-inclusive party later that nite that was really great... Partying till about 5am!!!
By the time we woke-up on Monday, we rushed off to Eastern Pkwy around 3pm. This was the 1st time my honey ever came to NYC (and the festival) as an adult, so the parade was quite exciting to say the least; there's so many people compared to her local Jump-Off in Montreal. We hooked up with my homeboys/girls, too -- What a ball!
At the parade, we ate so much damn food (rice & peas/jerk chicken of course/THE best curried goat I've ever tasted/Panamanian Hojalda/sliced Mango in salt & hot sauce/and we cooled off with Mauby & Sorrell Sorbet -- Mmmmmmmmm ~ And don't forget the Guiness, baby!!!!!!!

Mon, I can't wait till next year ;-)

Re: NYC (B'klyn) West Indian Day Parade 2005
Wed, September 7, 2005 - 7:39 PMOooh, I forgot to mention the Panorama (Youth Steel Pan Competition) on Saturday Nite just off of Eastern Pkwy in BK.
It was obviously tame compared to Jouvet and the Parade (as usual)... but still quite entertaining and a happening place to be. It's funny when you run into people you know at events like this -- So many people!!!
Anyone else been there? How many New Yorkers we got up in here?!?!?!
