Raggae Brunch Follow-up

Everybody was irie irie in the Parkview last night!!! It was a blustery, yet sunny day in the land of Cleve yesterday. Raggae grooves pumped through the Parkview and the rhythm flowed from within all whom attended.

For a mere $5 we got to enjoy the sounds of Carlos Jones and the PLUS band for over six hours of pure rastafarian bliss.
Here is a shot of Carlos doing his thing, mid-song, while his bass player jams out behind him. Raggae makes you move, no matter your age, race, religion, or sexual preference. All walks of life were in attendance, and most of them were giving out vibes of peace and love. Especially the old school hippie handing out small pieces of paper that read "one love" and such. I wasn't sure if the paper was laced with acid or not, so I dropped it on the floor in fear of tripping balls.

This is a shot of the dance floor toward the end
of the night. As you can see it was crowded, and everyone was moving to the grooves. The floor stayed packed throughout the show, at times nearly impossible to move. One angry hippie (yes, an angry hippie) yelled at me for stopping briefly in front of her, whom I returned the favor to later in the bathroom while her head was hogging the only sink (yes, she had her head in the sink). And ladies, beware of the man in the blue shirt. He was observed making out with at least three different women, while wearing a wedding band. If this man is your husband, promptly place the prefix EX in front of him!!!!

Here is a great action shot of Salexis and her friend (who likes the way her body moves to raggae). If you think that's good fella, you should see her between the sheets (at least that's what I've heard anyways). I got nothin but love for you Salexis. Kudos for ditching out on your rehearsal to join me for an afternoon turned to an evening of melodic raggae madness. I will be sure to burn you some Bob & Ziggy prior to your trip around the world so you can keep the good vibes flowing throughout!! Thanks again for coming out.

Who is that crazy young woman sporting the viking hat and glasses? If you see her around, tell her I want her autograph. I love Salexis' face in this shot, it is hilarious. The band was packing up at this point, and I think Salexis may have been molested by a gay man just prior to this shot. So, who's up for the Midwest raggaefest this summer, anyone??






Ah, two friends chillin' at the Parkview. Who the hell is that guy trying to get into our picture? Does he have a perm or is it just me? I see this guy everywhere, does anyone know his name? Not that I care, I'm just wondering.





I don't know this guy's first name (I'm thinking it's Doug), but I do know that people refer to him as the "wrecker." Do not invite him to a party at your house because something will get broken. You cannot tell from this picture, but he is quite large, and becomes a tad unstable on his feet when intoxicated (which is most of the time). He asked to be photographed with me, then took a look at the picture and stated, "Yeah, I'm wasted." I'd have to say I agree. You can catch a glimpse of this man in the O.C., and in the summer he rides a beach crusier bike which is most amusing!!!!

Okay, this last one I love!!! Salexis didn't want it posted, but I couldn't help myself. If you REALLY hate it, I'll take it down, but I think it captures the free-spirited vibe that was occurring last night. Piddy and J-Ho missed out, and that's unfortunate.
