When's that West Indian parade?

Only if you wear your famous short-shorts and feathers outfit.

Done and done.

You don't think I've been working on this costume all year for nothing, do you?

I'd heard you were hitting the 'Pieces' sale like a mofo!

C'mon guys...get a room!

But seriously, it would be fun if a group went, but I'm not sure we'll be around.

From this week's New Yorker. This looks like a fun, carnival-related thing to do (if you haven't locked yourself in):

"Horace Morancie, a 76-year-old native Trinidadian who emidgrated here in 1954 and who has attended a carnival every year since he was five, leads a pre-party behind-the-scenes tour. He'll visit the mas camps where the costumes are made, and the pan yards, where the bands practice, in East Flatbush and Crown Heights. Morancie promises a chance to play the steel drums. 'A simple tune,' he says, 'like Mary Had a Little Lamb,' just to show them how it's done.'"
