Thumbs down The people who organize ATL carnival are stupid...

First off Atlanta carnival is known for being reeeehl sh*t compared to the other ones outside of the caribbean. Now I learn that there are going to be two different parades on the same day in two neighboring counties. What de hell allyah tink dis is???? South Florida??????? This is why growth and success will always be stifled in carnival/soca music culture. Everybody want control and money, stinking ridiculous. Some of allyah need a rehl cutskin.....steeeeeeups.....

Where are they?

Also, I think I may have posted earlier that Atlanta is in Dekalb county. But, now I am thinking that I was wrong and that it is in Fulton county. Which is correct? Is that why they are having two carnivals?

Very stupid. The WI population there is too small. Maybe New York should start having one in Richmond Hill and one in Brooklyn.....

there's no way in hell that richmond hill - liberty ave, would have such a thing, unless it involves hindu gods and lots of chutney.

What gets me is that they have the nerve to refer to thier event as a carnival.

Atlanta is on some bvllshit when it comes to a WI carnival.

I doh do de damn parade anyway. It's usually too damn hot, although this year they are moving it back to the downtown area. I may check that one out but only if my hubby and dd want to go. I doh see the reasoning for having two either, it makes no sense to me. It's not like the carribean population is so big here that we need two. They just helping to make both parades suck. they can never agree on what de hell to do...not surprising.

I agree, two parades make it WHACK!!!! The year that I thought was good was 2004. After that, it went down hill SERIOUS!

I am going this year, not too big on the parade. It's BORING if yuh ask me. I really go to visit with my peoples down there and go to a few fetes, act up and dats it. I'm happy with that!!!
