Well folks, the pilgrimage to Brooklyn is on again. We got down to Eastern Parkway and Franklin Ave. this morning just in time to catch the kiddies crossing towards the Museum. Nothing like a bunch of giddy, dressed up children, shaking, wining, jumping their little ancestors spirits out to get you excited about carnival.

Surprisingly the streets were clear by 1:20 pm. However, WIADCA seems to be having a bit of a “in de Savannah by de track” problem as despite all of the bands making it into the grounds of the Brooklyn Museum by 1:30, the last one didn’t cross the stage until after 4:00 pm.

I do not yet know the details on this young lady, but I’ll get back to you. Whomever she is, she brought tears to my eyes and made her people proud. Miss lady was dancing the hell out of that costume. Yes folks, she knows what’s she’s doing. Looked like about 14 years old.

Saw a few friends, people come up from DC to put their children in mas up here (you hear that!) and I’m sure they had a good time. Keep posted for more updates.

Enjoy!

  1. Great Picture. She was really good. One woman standing next to me was telling “Dat girl could carry a cosutme boy” Then she said she had to “put her on FB” and went to take some vid.

    1. Apparently that was the consensus. There was a police officer standing behind me who made a similar comment and asked if she was my daughter. I have to admit, just to see her giving her all in that costume really moved me almost to tears (yes, I know, whatever).
