Notting Hill Carnival

The Greatest Community-led Event on the Planet!

nhcarnival.org

4 different channels covering most of what you'd see and hear on the day over the 2 days.
Obvs not the same and hopefully they'll get the programming right.
Should be fun tho'.

Missus and I still have the gazebo up from the Love Supreme Festival so will be certainly be doing the same for this.

I’ve started prep’ing and have the following on order.

Trini flag, Guyanese flag, Lion of Judah flag (all 3 x 5) and 6 metres of Guyanese bunting (hopefully going Guyana heavy Missus won’t be too pissed off when I set up Carnival here).

Was hoping to be able to find a University of Dub flag but ly not.

Carnival is my fav thing about London so gonna proper deck the garden and gazebo out, set up a Rum shack, BBQ etc.

Super idea, I’ll make a sign for sure and pop a quid in a tin each time I/we go.

I’ll make a killing on Red Stripe sales, I get them for a quid and can charge myself 2 quid.

I was playing pool against some bloke in the pub a few years ago and didn't realise till a few shots into the game that it was Mr Victor Romero Evans himself! The realisation put me right off my game it did (well, that's my excuse anyway).

Nice.

Whilst I’d quite happily let Aba/Channel One/Solution tear down the house all day long I have others to consider on the day, and funnily enough as much as I love Reggae we tend to have the most fun at the Latin Rave Street Jam or following one of the Soca trucks.

 

[Numbers]

Almost fully prepped here. Flags and bunting ready to hang out, Minirig fully charged up and raring to go (I’m streaming inside on the main system and streaming on the Minirig in the garden), BBQ cleaned, missus is doing Jerk/plantain/rice an pea/macaroni cheese/salad etc. toilet sign made Rum and Red Stripe aplenty.
