Man I love soca now. Since it's so close to Carnival that's all they play on the radio now. And they also play a particular few that are really popular over and over and over again. I mean you hear the same 5-10 songs all the time haha! I love it. Rene gave us a bunch of music so I'm happy. It's what I'm listening to right now. There's this one song called Trees. Guess what that one's about? Haha! When the song is played at a show, people go and uproot trees and bring them into the crowd and bounce them around to the music. HAHA! Rene told us that at a show in Gouyave a few weeks ago the police warned that anyone who brought a tree would be arrested. Seems that people are ruining others' farm trees just to bounce the trees around and it got to be a bit of a problem. HA! Wow.
Last night we had talks of going to this show in De Village (pretty much an enclosed field with a stage and huge speakers) called 10-10 that was going to be held tonight. 10-10 is pretty much what it says. It's a show that runs from 10pm-10am with 25 artists and 4 bands. This morning it was decided that this probably wasn't a great idea. A 12 hour soca concert?! It would be all jumping up and down (constantly), drinking (sponsored by Clarkes Court and Carib), and insanity for 12 hours straight. I don't think I'd make it. Haha!
Last night was our last Fish Friday, today was our last Saturday market, and I'm sure there will soon be more lasts. Monday is a holiday, Friday we have our goodbye celebration, and in between we have one day with the WAN guy we were supposed to meet with last week (or so we thought) and doing who knows what. I'm pretty eager to find out. We also have a few other things on our list that we want to do, but we'll have to see how things go. We're no longer going to Soca Monarch (at least I don't think we are) because it's Friday night and we wouldn't get back to the hotel until it was pretty much time to go to the airport. We'll have to talk to Rene and see about solid transportation. Who knows? We just do whatever we feel like at the moment so things might change even up to the last minute.
Tomorrow though we are definitely going to Rainbow City Festival. Dr. Baptiste (a professor in the College of Education at PSU that's from here and is visiting right now) is going to meet and spend some time with us there tomorrow. It's a Grenadian festival so close to Carnival so I'm eager to see what it's like. Yay for new cultural experiences!
Ah well the boys just knocked on my door to go do something so I need to go catch up with them. Later!
