With another short Carnival season (6 weeks), we ent get a chance to sort matters out with the National Carnival Commission in time for Pan Semi's, so guess what? We back on the Green's!! So if you're looking for photos of the actual steelbands and such, visit www.pantrinbago.co.tt. But, if you're looking for photos of all the sexy people and crews on the Northern Greens who once again made pan the besssss lime for the season... look no further!!
 
CROWD:
Pan crews galore.... Red Ants, Caesar's Army, Premium Posse, b-Mobile, Carib, Unit Trust, C.I.D.I FC, Insomniacs, ISLANDpeople ... and the list goes on and on. The ladies came out and represent ... short shorts, pum pum shorts, batty ridders, mini skirts and itty-bitty tops ... and the fellas were loving every vision. And ladies, yes we know your gape factor was high too! J

VIBES
We say each and every year .... THE VIBE OF PAN IS INCOMPARABLE!! And if you're in the right crew (or have the right friends), it's the greatest All Inclusive!! Our TJJ TV crew quickly found out that 99.9% of the folks on the Northern Greens come out for the lime. "Pan... what pan?" .... "Dey have pan playing?" were common responses from the limers as they jammed to the various rhythm sections, DJs and live entertainers through out the greens. And who can blame dem??!!

FOOD/DRINK:
Hands down, Premium Posse (the folks with a collegian "P" on their tees) had the best food and drinks. And being the folks behind "Eat-It", you know the food was top notch. Their famous stuffed curry crab dumping .... that sweet boil corn (rich with butter and milk) .... the pineapple chow (seasoned perfectly) ... LAWD PUT AH HAND!!

C.I.D.I FC ... thanks for handling us at the end!

North Greens - $300
