Wow its finally here carnival has launched and its time for soca monarch tonight. St. Georges was a mad house this week and now the real events are starting to happen so its going to be interesting. Any ways today I got my tickets for soca monarch, that like a big concert where all of the local artists come together and sing their songs. It should be lots of fun with people, music and food. This morning I slept in and then got up to go and get my computer thank goodness I just needed to have the mouse cleaned. But when I got home I noticed that the memory card reader on the computer was not working, man it never fails if an electrical problem can happen IT HAPPENS!!!!! After that disappointing news I popped my chicken enchiladas into the over and started the refried beens with cheese and sour cream. I made them for my friend, I think its so much fun to make him things that he has never had before. He liked the enchilada but not the beens. Sour cream is not a big thing down here in the caribbean. I don't know what I should make him next? After that it was time to get ready for the concert.
Soca Monarch Concert
That was one of the best concerts I have ever been to!!! Thousands of people jumping and waving bandanas in the air. The placed a stage in the center of the national stadium and blocked off around the edges with booths. So we caught the middle of what they call Grovy and thats the lighter version of soca and then after that at about 12am Soca Monarch started. Their was 16 different local artists. Each one had back up dancers and tried to be as creative as possible. One drove a car up on the stage, one had a huge silver plain come up on the stage and he came out of it. I wish I would have brought my camera but I didn't know what it was going to be like, but next year I will be bringing it so you can all see ow cool it is. One of the Peace Corps girls was a back up dancer for 3 of the big profferers. The concert went until about 5am and then we got to here the winners where. I had a lot of fun and when I got home I hit the pillow and I was out like a light.
