Any generation carnival babies here? Do you happen to have pics of your mummy, daddy, auntie uncles, grannys in their costumes? I've came across some and oohhh I am so proud to be a generation masquerader....I shall pass it on to my offspring..they have no choice....

And older sisters. I does watch some of the pics and laugh, even some of the ones w/ me lil playing w/my older sisters...but yea I know what you mean...further than that, sometimes when I'm on the road I imagine my ancestors doing the same thing in the same place generations before...humbling and elating thought.

I know the feeling!!!! That's why I was really crushed that they took away the stage in Trinidad. That was a historical spot. It's not the same without the stage tot cross for the final judging.... Suga Aloes, Sparrow, Blueboy, all dem stomped that stage...Ok.. cyah talk about it no more, heart hurts...

And what would be wrong w/ that?

Anyway Simmie, I know just what you mean. Body moving to the same rhythms, feet jumping up on the same spot...just another thing that makes carnival the ultimate experience.

Something magical about that stage. Cross ah friggin road doh do deh same for Carnival. Oh gosh nag. When I'm home for Carnival, and they show the past Kaiso and Calypso shows and the artists cross the stage....when they show past carnivals and seeing them experience the same excitement you do, only you and another masquerader could only understand....it's a beautiful ting boy..I tell you. I think if even more beautfiul when you can actually chip wid your granny. I did so one time..rhel small but I remember. Bother grans said, "this is traditionmeh sweet duddu". I still remember that....

Now I don't think I want my mummy seeing me on the road, "Getting on bad". I will chip wid she, but not play mas wid she..she too reserved. Now my uncles and dem..oh yes..they are just as bad becuase the will load themselves up with spirits. I don't drink.

i miss the stage

The stage caused a traffic jam with the mas bands.

I am glad there is no stage.

Standing up getting heat stroke to cross the stage.
Charging the security
Having the crowd cheer u as u play your mas.
Running back to take a last wine after your section done cross.
umm come to think of it I miss the stage to.
