Trinidad 2011: COSTUME CHECK AN DOUBLE-CHECK! WE READY!!!!!
Remember from THIS post my dilemma with being the only one left in YUMA since my crew of 6 dwindled to just me after my friend lost his life? Well, at the last minute, 2 folks came back in so that makes us half the crew, and they are in YUMA so I'm back in my section, CAPRICORN FRONTLINE!
A third JUST found out recently that her new job will after all let her go...but her costume had been sold over a month before that along with the costumes for the two guys who aren't coming, one for obvious reasons...plus I realized it was actually going to cost me more to pay off the balance in D'Krewe than to pay the remaining half in YUMA cause a frontline required half down...no stress though because a friend in Trini that's about my measurements is taking my D'Krewe costume so we ALL going to have company for the road! So 3 of us back in, 1 native daughter is in, and 2 folks in the band who looking to be solo players themselves told me I better stay in cause they liming with me on the road! lol! YUMAs have been very supportive and friendly during a trying time for me!
Thanks to one of the very helpful and hospitable YUMAs, I have gotten my balance paid before the Valentine's Day deadline and will have my friend collect my costume easy breezy during the regular costume pickup period in February!
Side note: I am thinking YUMA encountered some kind of alarming issue or potential issue with overseas credit card payments why they didn't allow them now as they did for those who initially registered online...I hope they fix this restriction on payment options going forward...just use PayPal it makes everything sooooo simple and hassle-free!
I'M BACK!
