neva mind di 20 minute wait to get past the front gate, where they searched everyone twice. Once we got in, everthing was cool. I missed most of the parade since I woke up late. Weather was great (as always), and I had a great time with my friends on the sidelines. I gwine go back ah Banneker Park on Sun. Last edited by Caribsun; 06-24-2006 at 09:54 PM.. |

I feel it for you Rico. I went Crossroads one time, and one time ONLY. I went to see Destra perform and I took my camera with me. Now I am a big into digital photograhpy.. I spent $100 alone on a memory card for the camera. Anyway in the line to get inside security told me that cammeras were forbidden. I went back to my friend's car where I put the camera in the trunk. We all left the fete and came back to the car where I saw broken glass outside the car. Some thieves punched a hole in the back glass, opened the trunk from the inside, and made off with my camera. Apparently, car robberies are common outside Crossroads. My advice to club patrons would be to get a ride from a friend or take a taxi. It's not right to go out partying and have to come back to some burglary... That experience soured me like ten limes and I have never returned to the 'roads.

And well Taboo? I wasn't planning to go. My brother force me... So I end up paying the last minute price for a so-called all inclusive party. $45, several hours, bout 1/3 tank of gas, and a near cuss out with a scrawny officer later, I reach inside the fete. Well I had never had a more miserable feteing experience. From pre-fete frustrations of officers blatantly lying in my face "The party is shut down" to entry lines that resembled TSA security lines at the airport to the few speakers restricted to one side to some tents that dared charge for drinks in an ALL INCLUSIVE party, I was upset with this 2k6 edition of Taboo. It was my first Taboo, and my understanding is that it was nothing similar to this last year's, but Taboo 2k6 just struck me as being totally unorganised. If it was in fact organised, well then it wasn't apparent. That said, there were some good moments in the party, like watching the pool possee prancing in the pool (notably the first partygoer who repeatedly jumped in the pool to splash on people on the poolside), the surprise artistes such as Machel, Bunji and Patrice... In conclusion, I wish I hadn't wasted my time, money, or gas.
