Wyclef, Rupee, and Island People et al for Antilia/Carnival 08!

Need we say more?

For the second year running, Antilia, the Manhattan-based event management and promotion team is bringing the flair and heat of Trinidad & Tobago's Carnival to the New York social scene and this time, they're taking things up a notch.

Dropping names like ex Fugee Wyclef Jean, Bajan star Rupee, Trini hotties Kes & Ms T&T Anya Ayoung-Chee, and even Extra T.V. host A.J. Calloway, the event kicks off at 8pm (doors open at 7pm) at the Prince George Ballroom in the West Village, NYC. Thank God for that location move; for one its much closer to me and will be undoubtedly better than trekking across to the desolate w27th area for the Cain nightclub...

Last year, the event exclusively showcased the costumes of Island People, but this time Founder Simon Khan, Andrea and the Antilia team will also show designs from Elements Carnival and my band, Spice! I recommend this as a "must attend" - it's also all inclusive with cutters and premium drinks. If anything, you will enjoy the ambiance and the vibe - brace yourself for true true wining, jamming and a general 'break-away' time!
