Dennalla wi jus fa'wa'd upt'i not'n' hill gate...

19:42 / 15.08.06

carnival, man!
the motherloving, man-sticking, up-shit-fuck-fest and dirty-fat, belly-warming noise that is carnival!

you will be a reggae lover, both aware of the music of jamaica and filled to the brim with a desire to express this love through the medium of intoxicated dance. you will be free at the end of this month around the bank holiday, and you will be happy to let your conscience and common sense guide you through the streets of the grove and the gate, with or without souvenir maps. you will be calm in the face of adversity, neither above waiting wasted and frustrated on a street corner, nor breaking the laws of nature and the land if the need should arise. you will be stronger than you think, and will describe yourself as doing 'just what anyone would have done' in situations requiring resourceful bravery and strength of will.

in short, you will be AWESOME.

you will be awesome, and you will be at nottinghill carnival, and you will be happy to show me your moves.

who's moves?
YOUR moves!

i do mean you!

i'm leaving tomorrow at daybreak, catching the fastest megabus i could find.
if you want to meet up and have yet to PM me, now's your chance.

i'll check in briefly when i wake up.
i may be online on occasion while there, but that is far from certain.

18:44 / 24.08.06

Yeah, but it's not as good as it used to be, is it?

All those people just spoil it.

22:31 / 24.08.06

Hey toksik, am gonna be around the gate and getting down to soca/bashment/ragga whatever vibes...i'll pm you my mob. Monday's the good day, right?

23:39 / 24.08.06

monday's good.
i'm going for both days, and trying real hard to restrain myself from going ape-cack mental day one.
i may also be going to duckie on saturday, depending on the will and whereabouts of my cohorts.
the hangover should help me take it easy on the sunday, but who the blown chunk knows.

so, gramma, you gien it laldy on the streets wi 'all us yoot?

21:45 / 25.08.06

Isn't it family day on Sunday though, someone correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't that mean it's not as carnivalesque as its cracked up to be? No rum punch anyway...

22:39 / 25.08.06

It doesn't make too much difference to be honest. Sunday's marginally less manic and packed, but seeing as Monday's very manic and packed it hardly matters.

Can't do Sunday, but Monday's an outside possibility, Mr T. Will give you a ring if the meds are working.
