So...I didnt go. First time in UMPTEEN years. And I don't feel like I missed much. The Carnival Committee launched a month earlier than they have historically leaving quite a few of the stalwarts un-launched. And, like I expected, many of them opted to present just the bare minimum to ensure they were not in violation of One Committee rules. why would they want to show their designs to the public BEFORE their OWN band launch.
Noticeably missing from this presentation was Generation X, Wassi Ones, although two of their special sections - Adalia B' Mas and Island Gems - did present, Natural Freaks and Carnival Nationz Miami. All of these bands have not yet officially launched and opted to show pictures and/or flyers at the launch.
Here are pictures that I ve scavenged from the net.
and Uhm...give me a few weeks before I tell you where my hat hanging..;)

On June 25, 2011, South Florida will be experiencing a Brand New Flavor. A combination of the Latin vibe of Miami, combined with sounds of Reggae and Soca from the Caribbean, topped with a splash of R&B.
The Event
'FLAVORS' is a group effort of four friends. A collaboration of the Marketing Major, The Writer, The Accountant, and the Stage Management Guru. They call themselves MOD SQUAD Promotions, an eclectic foursome with a flavorful vision.
FLAVORS will take place at
Crescendo Jazz & Blues Lounge in the beautiful
Wynwood Art District of Miami. This new and happening spot has a mouth watering menu and has opened their venue to private events. One of the features of Crescendo, is its VIP room, which was originally an upstairs two bedroom apartment, that has now been transformed into a plush VIP area with a gaming room and balcony area overlooking the bustling streets of the Art District.
See you there!

Ask EVERY SOCA PROMOTER in Florida.

Even before this bumper season...every year...i would ask...
Won't some one PLEASE bring Kes the Band to Florida? Please.
I know ..i knowww they came to BLOCKo...but before RAVE last year, I don't think they got a chance to showcase themselves like the Stars they are.
Buy your tickets early. Put them under the Mattress.
