Oooohhh
gooooshh! So its Labor Day time again in New York. You
know what that means. No? Well if you reside here then it means that youve
been fettin' since Memorial Wknd ... much like Team TJJ NY! Seriously!
For some reason in New York, especially the country of Brooklyn,
you just feel like youll miss out on a sweet lime somewhere.
Officially Team
TJJ NY started jamming from the Tuesday before setting it off with Alison
Hinds @ SOBs. What a treat that was! We havent had the pleasure
of seeing the Soca Diva in action since last year! Anywho,
Wednesday was just random limin', Mas makin etc. but it was on from Thursday right
through!!! We headed to VICE
Thursdays at Aura where Stabby mash down de dance and Kees (Kes The Band)
& Ataklan both made cameos. Go Stabby!!!! As usual, the dance was jam ram
cram... yuh cyah even take a good chip much less a wine! Lawd!
TGIF!! We hit Queens! Gotta love
the Queens massive! They stay winin!
Yours truly and Picture Dis Juice ran up in Blast
Off and Soca
Rave New York respectively with our crew and had ourselves a ball!
I have to admit that around Labor Day I usually hit Brooklyn fetes, mind
you Im from Queens! Lol!!! Hey Queens is on point... Whhhaaaattt!!!
We didn't even care that it poured down and back in Brooklyn, we heard
from Text-a-holic Juice that the Sugarcane
Backyard Jam got shut down Babylon style! Only in NY I swear!
Saturday
morning bright and flickin' early I was awakened by my anthem for the
summer "Push
Bumpers" on my BB ... guess what? People still looking for
the impossible... tickets to Diamond
Vale Breakfast Party NY! Poor
souls. *sigh* Those tickets were gone faster than doubles in a hungry
drunk hand! Try your luck early next year sorry! The Vale Vibe
was a cool scene for its premier in NY with a top notch DJ lineup,
ultra chic bar staffing thanks to Tillmans (a fav spot of mine)
and the fabulous crowd of course! Meanwhile Uptown Juice and Mix Juice
handled Machel Montano HD & Friends @ ACNY
2008 (Alternative Concept NY) at the luxurious Ciprianis
downtown Manhattan. I understand that it was rhelll good bachannal with
Krosfyah being the highlight!
Have
you been able to keep up? Ok! Straight from jamishness at Ciprianis
and Vale we hit Basic
Sundaze JOuvert Boatride! Not a wink ah sleep ... it was
just top off your cup and keep it movin!!! This
boat was pure Lakaray! I cant front, I had to switch up from my
cheeky stilettoes to the old faithful Drag Mall sandals so that I could
get my jam on propa!!! Did I mention before that I was forgotten
in the car after the fete done??!! Lol! Sleep was kickin' my arse!
Now folks I have to apologize. The plan was to hit up
Fantasy featuring Kes The Band at Club Exit later on that evening.
Instead, some of the crew made it to Irie
Jamboree 2008 on Sunday but the rest ... crickets .... the whole
team crashed!!! You would swear we were a bunch of little old ladies!
Lol!!! *Sniff Sniff* NEVER AGAIN though! Pinky swear! Ey,
like we need a TJJ brand energy drink??!! (it in the R&D lab ... doh
fret!)
Monday
morn ... TIME TO JAM!!! Everybody fresh because they managed to catch up on some
zs ... well, all except for myself . I was still up like a jumbie putting
the finishing touches on our costumes for the "Army of Peace," our section
in Hawks Intl. Soon it was a crazy mad dash to the bands meeting place
and we were ready to roll! As the truck literally bend de corner on the parkway
.. Push .. Push .. Push .. unda wine we not unda pressha .. wheey ..... everybody
gone clear!!! Thanks Bandit (reppin' outta the T-DOT)!!
The Parkway was action non-stop thanks
to fabulous weather, secret stashes of scotch (say that 3 times fast and
drunk!) and crew and crew. Unfortunately TJJ
working crew could not find the band and did not share in our merriment
but theres always next year!
Petite ... chippin on the frontlines,
well BBQd and wiped out! >>
