Trinidad Carnival 2012: Launches! Islandpeople: HEROES & Harts: WRATH OF THE GODS Tomorrow Aug. 12, YUMA: PRESS PLAY Saturday Aug. 13!

Excitement in the air, two hot bands launching and the vibes (and the online streaming) begin about 24 hours from now!

YUMA showed us a teaser section!  Costume is Tyris from the game Golden Axe (theme is Press Play, so there will be sections like Spawn, Angry Birds, Call of Duty, etc!  HOTTT!)

Islandpeople Mas postponed their launch from last week and will be launching their 2012 theme HEROES tomorrow night!

Meanwhile, one of the oldest, strongest, and hottest bands has a launch coming tomorrow August 12 as well: Harts Carnival (see them on Facebook) is launching their 2012 theme, WRATH OF THE GODS, and the teaser so far, a section named Pantheon, is fierce!

YUMA Vibe Collection Day Instructions: English and Trini Translations! lol!

From the YUMA Vibe Facebook wall...a little laughter, a little jokes, but all the way serious because the same questions keep being asked over...and over...and over...and over...again...and again!

Enjoy a laugh I know I did!

YUMA Vibe says:

Yuma Vibe is stating that the costume distribution centre is open to registered masqueraders only (to prevent congestion). If friends are coming with you to collect costumes they are invited to enjoy the ambience of Movietowne while masqueraders collect their costumes from the Movietowne Banquet & convention centre.

A male YUMA says:

IN OTHER WORDs...

"registered masqueraders only"
