St Pauls Carnival 2014 - Sat 5th July

[Enviro]

The lack of info is pretty shocking ... Though I do know that my mates are doing a mighty ravey linkup behind the canteen at the Lakota end of City Road. They're bringing their Void Incubus rig! I am literally quivering in anticipation! Negus has been on William Street the last few years... Dubkasm was at the Malcom X Centre last year...

Fucksticks, I wanted to go this year, but I foolishly was convinced to work a festival I have no desire to go to.

DOH!

 

[Enviro]

Doh! Indeed! I've been waiting all year for it since the last one and there was no way that anything was going to come between me and awesome carnival action! (Except family emergencies, poor organisation, work commitments or loss of limbs ... though I was prepared to stick two fingers up at work and skank'n'hop should I have lost one of my legs )

Looks like this is not happening now. Gutted.

Ah well, there'll be plenty more sub bass to be had at Negus

read that the organisers are having some official bars and are asking that everyone buy at least one drink from their stall to help raise funds towards their costs - will definitely do that

What's a good sound system for dub? Previous years I've just kinda wandered about aimlessly, which I love doing by the way, but wouldn't mind having some sort of vague plan of what I wanna hear and by vague I mean extremely vague.

and Jah Tubbys on an unofficial string up on Argyle Street

[Doctor Carrot]

Here's a mahoosive map!

 

[strung out]

I'll be having a barbecue round a mate's on Badminton Road all afternoon I think (just above Mandela's hideaway on the map). Should be handy for using toilets and nipping out to brave the crowds occasionally.

Do you know anymore on the unofficial stuff? It's those ones I like the most. There was a stack last year precariously perched in someone's front yard with a geeza on the decks in his living belching out the most filthiest drum n bass I've heard in a while

i have a feeling he'll be back

Hehe I love that more than anything else about carnival. I don't tend to bother with the day time. Instead I head down about 7 and just walk around people watching, stopping for a dance a bit and then moving on to another sound system. I like how it's just not that crowded either, not in the sense of a crush anyway. I'm actually quite excited this year, more so than any other year for some reason.

 

[Treacle Toes]

Have fun all definately can't make it this time.

 

[ska invita]

think im coming down with some kind of bug ffs.

 

[Enviro]

Fight that shit off! Dose up with vitamin C, eat oranges, stock up on anti runny nose stuff, do whatever it takes!
