Word reaching me about the weekend's party was that "Truthfully, you miss a rass session"; that's Jamaican vernacular for a spiffing good time. After running around for music and tennis lessons and a neighbourhood BBQ, I had little energy left, and had woefully fallen asleep on my sofa to not rise again till near 11 pm.
But, I'm told it was a super event with a diverse and energetic crowd; about about 250 people passed through--I don't know if they all passed out in one way or other. So, the Jamaican Association of Barbados will make a reasonable return for the various causes.
The crowd was diverse, in terms of gender, age and social background: so 'big ups' were ready to small up themselves with the 'likkle peeple dem'.
But, what about the food, man? Again, I heard that the servings were a super tasting array of Jamaican food including "manish" water, which was all consumed by 10:30 PM. So, if I had gone I would have found all the food done.
Oh, wait! The music kept the crowd on a full dance floor to the wee hours: called that for when parents like me get up in the dead of night to make sure their little ones have not done their wee-wee.
So, a great time for all. I have to send a shout out for the hard working Jambar team. I also say thanks to all the patrons who helped make it successful.
Look out for more events.
I await to hear the joke about joke about the man and the donkey.
