It's Christmas time! And then Christmas is over and it's Utopia time! Yes! Once again, the annual boxing day event took place. Tickets for this event were harder to find than tickets to a Michael Jordan comeback game. It was the 10th anniversary and people flew in from all over just for the day. The entire Taboo crew came in from DC, Trinidad, Boston and Atlanta even! De Hype!

Anyhow Jamaican Caublasian gots to do de review. One note. For next year, unno memba say de kids fun day just down de street cause traffic, so drive de nex way. Alright dat said. Again, me mus start wid de food setup. And again. Them a kill you wit it. From de oyster bar, to the Mediterranean selections, more seafood, what you want it deh-deh and for the price of admission, eat you fill. Then the journey down the hill. This years theme was blue, and everyone did dek out in dem favourite shade (cept for the few who just didn't know).

Party did ram, which I reckon was one of the minor flaws. This year they definitely sold more tickets than the year before, and finding a space to ease out was a likkle harder than previous years. BUT! I will say to their benefit, them did level off the ground likkle for de girls inna de spike heels (but seriously ladies ... the party venue is on a mountain side). Renaissance did provide de musical vibes fe de night and as usual, EVERY kina music imaginable did play. If it was put pon record from 1940 - 2007, it play! What!!! Memories a buss as de old folk dem a try fe pull up dances from dem youth! (Tatti? Peppa Seed?) What a comedy. While de young ting dem show why it is a dutty wine, and how fe hot wuk it.

All in all, eventually ringleader (again, dis is "man wit de keys") seh iz time to roll out, and a look pon de watch show it ah 6AM! (A whe de time go?). So we pass tru de food one more time. Dis time breakfast set out. Nyam some pita an "ilaloo" and mek a mad dash fe de shuttle to tek us back down from paradise to reality. Looking forward to next year! JayCee out!
