Nurse's Lounge: Caribana 2010 is now officially here!
>> Thursday, July 15, 2010
Itks midday in Toronto and a lot of people in the downtown core are taking extended lunch breaks to witness the launch of the 2010 Caribana festivities. It's a medium sized crowd at Toronto's busiest downtown intersection.
I rode here from home on a day where the humidity balloons the temperature to 37 degrees celsius. I was ok until I stopped moving. Actually, if the water fountains had been turned on today, I would have jumped right into the spray.
A host of formalities had to be addressed before the entertainment got going. You know how that goes....sponsors and politicians rightfully showing face to curry favour with the community. I suppose I ought to big up Blackberry for taking part two years in a row. (After all, I posted this with my BB.)
The talk eventually gave way to performance by local act including: Afropan Steel Orchestra, Neu Jenarashun, Red Man ( a Calypsonian) and Nikeisha Toussaint. Sadly, a technical error got in the way of her performance of her new single "Bumper".
That's it for now....I need to find some water!!!
Love and Soca,
Nurse Karen

1 x 2 cents (comment, nuh!):
Pretty funny how you call out the politicians for what they are doing, just showing up to win over the community. Glad to see that Blackberry is supporting!!!
