Sunday 8/10/13
Rise and shine its 3:30am.... I put on my outfit and headed for the door. My dance teacher who lives up the street came with me. The city was not that busy yet but their were more people that usual in the streets. We got a good workout in walking to the truck that we would be on. I was so lucky that the PE teacher at the school I work at has an uncle who runs Real Jab so I got to go on the truck and help pass out chocolate and drinks. When we got to the truck we both got on and watched all of the people walking around and getting into their groups. I think that their is 10-20 groups of different people who have colors that they paint themselves with. The oil jabs cover themselves in oil and have horns and chains. One man brought a pig head and others pushed around a coffin. I think the oil jabs are the darkest. But we also have blue, gold, red, UFO green, white and the new addition was chocolate just to name a few. The music was blaring and people where dancing all around the streets. I think for my first year watching and dancing from the truck was a good idea. Next year if all goes right all be playing UFO green. I had a grate time with my friends on the truck. soon the sun came up and about 6am we started to move into the heart of town that took all morning, the trucks move so slow because of all the people in the streets. When I reached right in front of the carnage I got off the truck and headed up the hill to my house.
