hey

thats nice

i never been to Labour day in NYC so im wondering what kind of rules they usally have.

I been to some carnivals all over europe and north america and all of them are very diffrent whats is allowed and what not.

Do they have big fences in NYC too?
A lot of security, police or just band security?

Our carnival don't have large fences but we have guard rails lining ine parkway and the arangment of them at the intersections sometimes makes it like a puzzle to move around. Some bands have there own security but for the parade in general there's like a couple thousand nypd officers everywhere, this year felt real nice for me. I have alot more video to put up later.

You know I got mad love for you guys and always making sure we get the best live streams from Trinidad for carnival. If I dont like the angles of the camera I am the first one calling up Trinidad complaining about the feed/streaming. But carnival is about the costumes and this is why folks always turn up their noses when they see images on youtube of the NY Labor day parade.

Where all the pretty gyals in costumes babe? You have to position yourself closer to the judging point or onto one of the mas bands music truck to see the real carnival parade. Julian now you going to make me give VP back his video memory card.

New York had over 52 new carnival mas bands this year. Lots of pretty mas and costumes. I dont know if Julian was taping towards the end of the parade or at the starting point but these are the music trucks that were getting turned off the parkway. Not even the Hot 97 truck got onto the parkway this year.

Pebbles,

Spoken like a true Trini....I guess all actives around carnival must be about " pretty Mas" such as Bras, thongs...how dare these gate crashers mess up this thing call " carnival" much less call this nonsense carnival ......then again what the hell I know.

LOL Pine now you know that I am a very proud Trini.

Just how I can't go to Jamaica and tell you how to make jerk chicken. Then you also can't tell Trinis how to make Roti and doubles.

We agrue about the meaning of carnival every year on here babe. Yuh still not going to win this NY carnival debate with me.lol

Go Trinidad and Tobago

Hey Pebbles,

Oh I know....yuh proud, nothing wrong with that....its all good. I was just checking to see if as you mature if you were moving to the center. I will check back next yr. lol.

LOL I have matured Pine and I am willing to meet yuh half way.

My top 3 NY carnival models are Jamaican, Bajan and Grenadian. The Trini soca artist still snobing the parkway. So as I continue to play devil's advocate its a uphill battle with some of the marketing efforts. Pretty gyals in carnival costumes get me sponsors not people jumping with a music trucks waving flags.

Its all good however and yuh still meh boy.
