Under the cut, you’ll find your groups for the float event! Remember you need to work together to come up with what you’d like your teams float to look like! As a team, you have to designate one person to make the post with what your float will look like for carnival! Make sure to tag the rest of your team and the main in it! Once all floats have been posted, I will put it in a generator to come up with who has the winning float for carnival! Let your creative juices flow. Will someone perform on your float? What song will the sing? What’s your color scheme? Will you all be bougie and pay millions of dollars to make sure your float is decked out? Be as detailed as you want!
The best way to go about it is if you make a side group and get all the members of your team in it to bounce ideas, post photos etc. Also, you’re not limited to make it look like the floats shown above! Do whatever you want to stand out! :)

PAMA Virtually Launches Contemporary Caribbean Art Exhibition
Peel Art Gallery, Museum and Archives (PAMA) is pleased to partner with the CArt (Caribbean Art) Fair, the Black Artist Network in Dialogue (BAND), and guest curators Karen Carter and Greg Manuel to present the exhibition, when night stirred at sea: Contemporary Caribbean Art opening Oct. 29, first as a virtual exhibition and then on-site once PAMA re-opens to the public. PAMA is inviting the public to a special, virtual launch celebration for the exhibition on Thursday, Oct. 29. Register now to reserve your spot for the event.
Featured Artists:
Krystal Ball (Jamaican/Canadian, Toronto-based)
Vanley Burke (Jamaican/British, London-based)
Katrina Coombs (Jamaican)
Javier Dayes (Jamaican)
Owen V. Gordon (Jamaican/Canadian, Toronto-based)
Ila Lovelace-Kuhnert (Trinidadian)
Christina Leslie (Canadian, Toronto-based)
Miles Regis (Trinidadian/American, Los Angeles-based)
Janice Reid (Jamaican/Canadian, Brampton-based)
Storm Saulter (Jamaican)
Read bios for the featured artists here.
This exhibition showcases a selection of artists who were featured in the inaugural CArt (Caribbean Art) Fair in late January and early February 2020 in Mandeville, Jamaica. The Fair seems like another lifetime as a little over a month later the world began to go into isolation facing the uncertainty of a global pandemic.
The rising health crisis made the need for a comprehensive look at Caribbean art seem far less urgent. Then came the rise of the Black Lives Matter global movement, the protests, the conversations about racism, and about how the free labour of indigenous Africans from the transatlantic slave trade was used to build our modern capitalist society. These events shifted the conversations about the role the Caribbean has played in the development of the “new world” making the voice of the artists from this region and the larger diaspora more relevant than ever.
In difficult times, art has been an essential part of human survival. Artists create works that provide everything from a temporary escape to an important interpretive record of the human condition that lasts long past any given challenging time. The artists featured in this exhibition are all connected to the English Caribbean islands. Their works explore themes of identity, community, colonization, globalization, social justice, activism and climate change. The exhibition provides a small window into the complex beauty and inherent tensions of Caribbean cultural identity that connect this region and the larger Caribbean diaspora to the world.
Virtual Programming Highlights
Saturday, Nov. 28, 2 pm: Artist Talk – The Photographers, featuring Vanley Burke, Javier Dayes, Christina Leslie, Janice Reid, and Storm Saulter
Thursday, Jan. 28, 2021: Artist Talk – Painting and Textiles, featuring Krystal Ball, Katrina Coombs, Javier Dayes, Owen V. Gordon and Miles Regis
“It is a pleasure to be working with such a wide range of artists with connections to the English Caribbean on this exhibition. During the inaugural CArt fair in Mandeville, Jamaica, in January of this year, we could never have imagined that only nine months later, we would be opening an exhibition with PAMA in a world even more in need of these artists voices. To be able to bring some of the artists together for a second time and to a broader international audience at PAMA is wonderful and in keeping with the mandate of CArt to connect Caribbean artists to the broader art world. To be able to do so at this particular moment in history adds yet another significant layer to our belief of the important role artists play in our understanding of the human condition,” said Co-curators Karen Carter and Greg Manuel.

SXSW 2018
Words & Photos: Elena Katrina
It’s a strange feeling this post-SXSW sensation. I feel both broken and exhilarated at the same time. There’s no amount of preparation you can take for either the festival nor the post-festival emotions. This festival is a beast. There is no other way to say it and I was thrilled beyond words to be attending for the first time as press so I could report back on some of the British contingent out there showing the world what they’ve got. And they showed it and then some. One thing I heard a lot was “throw the schedule out the window and just go with the flow”. Even that was difficult. I missed things I wanted to see but ended up having experiences and seeing things I never knew existed.. so I feel inclined to agree, to some extent anyway.
I didn’t waste any time in throwing myself into the SXSW experience and not long after having thrown my case into my hotel room I was straight out the door and headed to the British Music Embassy where I found Wyldest were treating the crowd to their special blend of shoegaze pop. I like that my first night I got to watch two bands I’d never seen live before – even if I had travelled 11 hours to do it. Life was the last of the night and I wasn’t prepared for them. Loud, brash and in your face. Dark but with some humour and an attitude I feel they could only get away with because they were from Hull. They did Hull proud that’s for sure.
It’s going to be nigh on impossible for me to tell you a review for each and every band at this festival. I was there to check out a load of the British bands, some I’d seen many a time, some never and some that were altogether new to me, as well as check out the overall SXSW experience. And an experience indeed it is.
Navigation is not my strong point, even with a map, when it comes to walking … I seem to go in circles, or squares as it was in Austin. It didn’t deter me though. I figured out my way to a few key venues for the official evening shows and then just wondered to my heart’s content during the day. I tried to go to a few of the talks, they seemed really interesting, but every time I got there, I was too late to get into a room. While they did stream the audio to a TV in the corridor, I don’t so much engage that well, especially not when there are people to see elsewhere. To the boss women of Instagram though I say …. definitely selfie!
The daytime also hosted unofficial parties, events and talks. Many of where you could grab yourself a free breakfast, and or lunch, while you learned all kinds of things and got to mingle with like-minded people. In particular, I enjoyed Brunch with the Brits – an event aimed, I presume, at visiting musicians. But here I got to talking about a lot of different things with a really great variety of people from PRS Foundation to the BBC. I was also fascinated by the sales pitch of Soundcloud at AWAL House. Their model has changed and it’s, in my opinion, still got a way to go to bridge the gap. Ultimately though it’s still a very popular site and the turn out proved so.
Back to bands? Francobollo blew my tiny little socks off and made for excellent festival companions too. I wholeheartedly hope to catch up with these guys again back on British soil and will follow their journey with a keen interest. Pale Waves, I was, of course, already hot on the tail of, having watched them play over the last 18-24 months, it was great to see them play to a tiny outside stage at an unofficial party thanks to Secret Sounds (who also, secretly, let me in). Get the general crowd’s feel for them over a room of industry all pining to see the next big thing (which, they are). As I suspected much of the crowd here seemed immune to the hype but most people were left smiling and enthused by the end, one or two seemed genuinely bemused, and I liked that too.
This year is the year of the girl… when it comes to band names anyway. We had Goat Girl, Only Girl, Girl Ray AND Our Girl all hitting up stages across SXSW. Admittedly I have a bit of a problem when it comes to seeing bands more than once, and not content with having seen Our Girl the week before I came away, I also managed to see them play 3 times at SXSW – the inability to leave their set not a problem I really want to seek help for. I am mesmerised every time I see them play. Only Girl played a showcase that wasn’t as well attended as I’d have liked, though her competition down the road was Gaz Coombs, and let’s not think about the rest. The crowd were fully onboard though, and like me, knew that they’d made the right decision in witnessing something special from this young lady. Eyes open for her, she’s incredible.
The indie bands were also in town; The RPMs bringing up some of the best jangly guitar sounds Brighton has to offer. A more artsy vibe could be found from Catholic Action, who come with a huge side of a dry sense of humour. I’m not ashamed to say I stood and danced and sung out in the street to them when I couldn’t get in for the whole set. Duo Ider also set the bar high during their free show for Secret Sounds, even at midday the show was full and it took me a while but a few songs in I realised I had seen them before and felt that same wave of excitement flow over me, only this time I had a band name, and they were there, right in front of me.
Back to the girls… Women anyway. This was a strong theme, for obvious reasons and there was plenty of chance to meet up officially and unofficially with the women of music. Vevo house was a great place to go for this and I met some fantastic women making, producing, managing, booking, you name it they were doing it. I also got to see the wonderful Jade Bird play at this venue – her personality shining as clearly as her talent. What a woman! She wasn’t alone in making waves during her time at SXSW, a young Suzi Wu was up and my god does she have something to say. She struts the stage, she owns her lyrics and she’s not intimidated in any way shape or form. An alt-grime-punk Debbie Harry. Perfect and I was so excited to finally get to witness her thrill a room.
Communion Music Presents. Three of my favourite words. I was shocked to find out that I didn’t know they had a showcase until the day before and from that moment on all other gigs were off. I was going to church and worship at the musical alter. How could I not? For me, this evening was the most emotional, nothing to do with the church, but the bands that Communion pull are often exceptional emotive songwriters and performers. New to me was Amy Shark, an Australian singer-songwriter, who hit some notes so nicely I thought she had potential to break the stained glass windows. Lucy Rose almost brought me to full on sobs, especially with her storytelling and her humility at playing the show. I initially thought that Dermot Kennedy was a stagehand, strolling across the stage wearing a tracksuit (even though it was about 30 degrees outside) and then when he started to sing – holy moly. I felt like it took him a while to warm up, not vocally, but to own the stage, to perform rather than just sing – though his” just sing” isn’t your everyday person’s “just sing”. Nope. This guy tore the roof off and it was left to Newcastle’s Sam Fender to keep it right off and he did just that. I enjoyed his impromptu singing at the piano – though, the tech guys didn’t seem to agree. It raised a smile after what had been a fairly intense evening.
In between watching bands there was time to explore some of the city, ok not really, that’s a bit of a lie! There’s no exploring unless it happens to be on the way to the next; venue, exhibition, talk, interview, network meeting. What I did see of Austin was that it totally came alive while SXSW was in full throws. You’d think there would be lots of grumpy residents wishing the weeks away, not able to sleep for the thud of bass going long and deep into the night, not being able to travel to work the usual route as roads were closed left right and centre and having to wait in line to eat in their favourite restaurant. Well, I’m happy to report I didn’t witness any grump. So either everyone moved out for a while or everyone was just happy to be a part of the amazing experience that is SXSW. I imagine though it’ possibly a good mix of the two.
On my last day at SXSW I got to meet the daughter of the man who helped to set up the original Fader Fort. THE place to be, if that is, you get a sacred invite. Turns out that family and friends have, well, more family and friends all over the place. So not only did I get to hear about Fader Fort I also got to spend much of my last time at SXSW doing it in true Austin Resident stylee! I got to visit an awesome dive bar called The Yellow Jacket Social Club, a club that I’m lead to believe won’t still be around next year as gentrification moves ever further past the freeway. I got to learn about new buildings just open and those coming and how the city’s landscape is ever evolving as the city grows in so many ways. I also got to check out some bands I would otherwise have missed. The glorious electronic art folk that is The Octopus Project played to a full crowd at Mowhawk was the first treat. A local Austin based band who delighted me with their use of a theremin. One guy asked me what it was called, he could obviously sense exactly how delighted I was! The main musical feast was that of musical art collective CAPYAC, they describe themselves as a surreal dance band… and I’d go with that too! I feel like I don’t want to expand too much on this because I want the intrigue to send you off to go and find them, book them, see them, keep them in a small box by your bedside table…. Just so much fun.
Later on a Saturday evening I met up with a new friend and got put into a taxi and taken off to the middle of nowhere (ok, not quite) but it was all hush hush. A private party we’d been invited to by a band she’d met. It was an utterly surreal way to end my SXSW experience and at the same time was the perfect ending at that.
It seems like there’s so much more to talk about, like the fact you get to meet musicians who aren’t even playing, make friends that you somehow feel you’ll never quite forget even if you don’t stay in touch – but you should – because, SXSW. The cool Glasgow music event that I missed but need to go to next time around, the opportunities to meet people and talk about the passion you hold, and it’s ok to just burst into laughter, or song, at any given time. Free snickers, free hugs, free drinks, free m&ms, free swag full stop. So many tote bags. But bets of all… the. live.music. Please have us back SXSW, life is forever changed now. You ruined me and I love you for it.

Festival Review: SXSW 2018 SXSW 2018 Words & Photos: Elena Katrina It's a strange feeling this post-SXSW sensation. I feel both broken and exhilarated at the same time.

One Year Later: Upfronts Report Card, ABC + CBS Edition
One year ago, I made a post with all the new series from upfronts and an interest and second season number. Here’s what I watched and didn’t watch and what I liked and didn’t like.
ABC
CONVICTION LOGLINE: Carter Morrison, the brilliant but ne’er-do-well daughter of a former president, is blackmailed into taking a job as the head of Los Angeles’ newly created Conviction Integrity Unit. She and her team of lawyers, investigators and forensic experts work to examine cases where there’s credible suspicion that the wrong person might have been convicted of a crime. CAST: Hayley Atwell, Eddie Cahill, Shawn Ashmore, Merrin Dungey, Emily Kinney, Manny Montana, Donald DiTomasso Interest: 9 2nd Season? 9
This got cancelled, but I did enjoy it a bit while it was on. I still have 9 unwatched episodes that I'll probably check out at some point.
Interest: 6 2nd Season? No Ranking: 19th out of 28
DESIGNATED SURVIVOR LOGLINE: A lower-level U.S. Cabinet member suddenly is appointed president after a catastrophic attack during the State of the Union kills everyone above him in the line of succession. CAST: Kiefer Sutherland, Natascha McElhone, Maggie Q, Adan Canto, Italia Ricci, Kal Penn, Tanner Buchanan, LaMonica Garrett Interest: 6 2nd Season?: 7
I stopped watching this very early (4 episodes) due to Trump and being lukewarm on the show anyways. I'm probably not gonna catch up on this, but I'm mildly interested because it has a second season coming.
Interest: 3 2nd Season? Yes Rank: 23rd
NOTORIOUS LOGLINE: Inspired by the true-life stories of famed criminal defense attorney Mark Geragos and cable news producer Wendy Walker, the series is a provocative look at the unique, sexy, and dangerous interplay of criminal law and the media. CAST: Piper Pirabo, Daniel Sunjata, Sepideh Moafi , Kate Jennings Grant, Ryan Guzman, Kevin Zegers, J. August Richards, Aimee Teegarden
Interest: 7 2nd Season?: 7
Notorious as the first Shondaland show to fail, this one still caught my eye. I watched every episode fairly quickly, but it was just as quickly cancelled. RIP.
Interest: N/A 2nd Season?: No Rank: 17th
STILL STAR-CROSSED LOGLINE: Based on the book by Melinda Taub and set in 16th century Verona, it picks up where William Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet left off, charting the treachery, palace intrigue and ill-fated romances of the Montagues and Capulets in the wake of the young lovers’ tragic fate. CAST: Wade Briggs, Anthony Head, Zuleikha Robinson, Lashana Lynch, Ebonée Noel, Sterling Sulieman, Medalion Rahimi, Grant Bowler, Susan Wooldridge,Torrance Coombs, Dan Hildebrand Interest: 7 2nd Season?: 5
Still hasn't aired. But my interest is probably down to a 2 or 3 now.
TIME AFTER TIME LOGLINE: Based on the novel by Karl Alexander and movie, it delivers a fantastical cat-and-mouse adventure through time when famed science fiction writer H.G. Wells is transported to modern-day Manhattan in pursuit of Jack the Ripper. Once H.G. arrives in New York City, he finds a world he never thought possible and a young woman who captivates him. CAST: Freddie Stroma, Josh Bowman, Genesis Rodriguez, Regina Taylor Interest: 6 2nd Season?: 1
Turbo-cancelled and I never seriously considered watching it.
Interest: 0 2nd Season? No
DOWNWARD DOG LOGLINE: Story of a struggling millennial, Nan, told from the point of view of her lonely and philosophical dog, Martin. One session at obedience school already makes them realize that even at their worst, they may be the best thing for each other. CAST: Allison Tolman, Lucas Neff, Kirby Howell-Baptiste, Barry Rothbart, Mo Collins Interest: 5 2nd Season?: 4
Just started, but my interest has fallen back to "probably not watching".
IMAGINARY MARY LOGLINE: Live-action/CGI project centers on Alice, a fiercely independent career woman whose life is turned upside-down when she meets the love of her life – a divorced father with three kids. This triggers even more upheaval when the slightly unhinged imaginary friend she created as a child suddenly reappears to help her navigate the transition from single girl to a woman ready for a family. CAST: Jenna Elfman, Stephen Schneider, Rachel Dratch (voice-over), Nicholas Coombe, Matreya Scarrwener, Erica Tremblay Interest: 4 2nd Season?: 1
Never watched, also cancelled very fast.
Interest: 0 2nd Season? No
SPEECHLESS LOGLINE: Maya DiMeo is a mom on a mission who will do anything for her husband Jimmy and her kids Ray, Dylan and JJ, her eldest son with special needs. As Maya fights injustices both real and imagined, the family works to make a new home for themselves and searches for just the right person to give JJ his “voice.” CAST: Minnie Driver, John Ross Bowie, Mason Cook, Micah Fowler, Kyla Kennedy, Cedric Yarbrough Interest: 1 2nd Season?: 2
I hated Minnie Driver's character for every minute of the pilot and realized she was going to be in the rest of the show, so I stopped watching.
Interest: 0 2nd Season? Yes Rank: 28th out of 28
UNTITLED SARAH DUNN COMEDY (American Housewife) LOGLINE: Katie Otto, a confident, unapologetic, plump wife and mother of three, raises her flawed family in the wealthy town of Westport, CT, filled with “perfect” mommies and their “perfect” offspring. She lets us in on her deepest, most unfiltered thoughts through voice-over as the she lives her life as the second fattest housewife in Westport. CAST: Katy Mixon, Diedrich Bader, Johnny Sequoyah, Daniel DiMaggio, Julia Butters, Carly Hughes, Ali Wong Interest: 5 2nd Season?: 5
Loved it. Can't wait for season two.
Interest: 9 2nd Season? Yes Rank: 10th
CBS
BULL LOGLINE: Inspired by the early career of Dr. Phil McGraw as the founder of one of the most prolific trial consulting firms of all time. Brilliant, brash and charming, Dr. Bull is the ultimate puppet master as he combines psychology, human intuition and high-tech data to learn what makes jurors, attorneys, witnesses and the accused tick. CAST: Michael Weatherly, Freddy Rodriguez, Geneva Carr, Chris Jackson, Jaime Lee Kirchner, , Annabelle Attanasio Interest: 2 2nd Season: 8
Bull is a procedural throwback that has just enough charm to coast along. It isn't tired yet, and Michael Weatherly is having fun. I'll probably keep lazily watching it. I've seen about half of the first season.
Interest: 6 2nd Season? Yes Rank: 20th
DOUBT LOGLINE: Centers on a smart, chic, successful defense lawyer at a boutique firm who shockingly gets involved romantically with one of her clients who may or may not be guilty of a brutal crime. CAST: Katherine Heigl, Steven Pasquale, Laverne Cox, Dule Hill, Dreama Walker, Elliott Gould, Kobi Libii Interest: 4 2nd Season: 5
If this wasn't the quickest cancellation of the season, it was really close. Shame for all the talented people involved, but this never even barely interested me.
Interest: 0 2nd Season? No
MACGYVER LOGLINE: A reimagining of the 1985-92 series of the same name follows a twentysomething MacGyver as he creates a clandestine organization where he uses his knack for solving problems in unconventional ways to help prevent disasters from happening. CAST: Lucas Till, George Eads, Addison Timlin, Joshua Boone, Michelle Krusiec Interest: 8 2nd Season: 4
I gotta admire a show that jettisoned its main authority figure and cast member barely after it was picked up for a full season. For a show like MacGyver, it doesn't really matter though. The cast team works well together, and so far the novelty hasn't worn off. I only have a few episodes left in the season.
Interest: 10 2nd Season? Yes Rank: 16th
PURE GENIUS LOGLINE: Follows a young Silicon Valley tech titan who enlists a veteran surgeon with a controversial past in starting a hospital with a cutting edge, “new school” approach to medicine. CAST: Augustus Prew, Dermot Mulroney, Brenda Song, Reshma Shetty, Ward Horton, Aaron Jennings, Odette Annable Interest: 5 2nd Season: 5
Laughably bad. I quit before it was cancelled, at least. There's a dim chance I might watch the rest, but probably not.
Interest: 3 2nd Season? No Rank: 25th
TRAINING DAY LOGLINE: An idealistic young African-American police officer is appointed to an elite squad of the LAPD where he is partnered with a seasoned, morally ambiguous Caucasian detective. Set 15 years after the feature film left off. CAST: Bill Paxton, Justin Cornwell, Katrina Law, Drew Van Acker, Lex Scott Davis, Julie Benz Interest: 6 2nd Season: 3
RIP Bill Paxton. I thought the pilot was wild as hell, and remain on the fence on watching the rest of the ride.
Interest: 5 2nd Season? No Rank: 24th
THE GREAT INDOORS LOGLINE: An adventure reporter must adapt to the times when he becomes the boss to a group of millennials in the digital department of the magazine. CAST: Joel McHale, Stephen Fry, Chris Williams, Shaun Brown, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Christine Ko, Susannah Fielding Interest: 4 2nd Season: 3
When this got rightly roasted through the upfronts for its lazy "Millennials suck!" humor, I kind of wrote it off. But Joel McHale is really good at sitcom timing, and almost all of his young co-stars could keep up. And this was funny and settled into a fairly enjoyable workplace comedy. BUT it got cancelled right when I was really getting into it, despite pulling a 1.1 in the key demo with a rerun versus the Grey's Anatomy finale. Grr.
Interest: 10 2nd Season? No Rank: 9th
KEVIN CAN WAIT LOGLINE: A newly retired police officer is looking forward to spending carefree, quality time with his wife and three kids, only to discover he faces tougher challenges at home than he ever did on the streets. CAST: Kevin James, Erinn Hayes, Taylor Spreitler, Mary Charles Jones,James DiGiacomo, Ryan Cartwright, Leonard Earl Howze, Lenny Venito, Gary Valentine Interest: 1 2nd Season: 8
Turns out I like Kevin James falling down more than I thought! The side characters were pretty good, and most of the guest stars (sup Adam Sandler) were funny.
Interest: 7 2nd Season? Yes Rank: 14th
MAN WITH A PLAN LOGLINE: A contractor whose wife goes back to work starts spending more time with his kids and discovers the truth every parent eventually realizes: his little angels are maniacs. CAST: Matt LeBlanc, Jessica Chaffin, Matt Cook, Grace Kaufman, Hala Finley, Matthew McCann Interest: 6 2nd Season: 8
I bailed on this pretty early. Matt LeBlanc was charming as always, and they even introduced Kevin Nealon as a somewhat funny brother! But I was watching a lot of shows, and this was far from my favorite sitcom. It leaned too much on the family part, and never really fleshed them out like Kevin, Housewife, and Mick were able to do relatively quickly. It did get a second season, so I'm tempted to catch up and binge the 20-odd episodes remaining in the background.
Interest: 5 2nd Season? Yes Rank: 21st
