DISCOUNTED REGISTRATION ENDS ON THE 30TH!

It's that time of the year again!!!  You may have noticed that the 2015 registration is a little early. The round up is real! With the overwhelming response to #DLIMERS' team in the Susan B Komen Race For The Cure over the past years, they had to start not a little early but A LOT.  This years walk will be held on October 15 at Bayfront Park.  I made the decision to walk for the very first time in 2011 and I've been walking ever since.  For those of you who have never done the walk with D'Limers, I will give you a little insight.

When you register, you receive an official teeshirt from Komen.   You are given a choice of having it delivered to your home (at an additional fee) or you can pick them up at a disclosed location closer to your home at or about a week before the walk.  Once the registration is complete, you then send an email to rsvp@hamiltonmillerlaw.com with your registered names and sizes.  This email guarantees your D'Limers teeshirt.

The plain white tees with the Susan B Komen Miami logo are what's given at the disclosed locations but when you get to the D'Limers booth the morning of the walk, you are given colorful and more stylish tees with the D'Limers logo on it.  The color changes annually but I'll keep you informed so you can organize your headpieces and matching attire.  Check below.

You'd have to be prepared to wake up before dawn.  Anywhere between 6:30 and 7:00 is a great time to get to Bayfront Park. At that hour there is little to no traffic, you have ample choices for parking, *the parking lots have an additional fee, you get to take your time and find the D'LIMERS booth.  Once you arrive, if you haven't collected your team D'Limers teeshirt, now would be the time to do it.  It would also give you enough time to 'cut it up' to your liking.  After enough people are in attendance, a prayer is done, there is a light buffet style breakfast and then it'll be time to walk.

Once you're walking with D'LIMERS the vibes are always nice.  Caribbean people really know how to turn a tough situation into an enjoyable one.  We walk with national flags, carnival headpieces from any carnival of your choosing, colored powder being thrown like a jouvert and I remember one time Giselle "The Wassi One" came out with a boom box and played soca music as we walked. Level pump!!!  When the walk is complete, we gather at the tent to have lunch and enjoy the sounds of a live deejay (which is usually Barry Hype).

In between the tasty food and drinking (non alcoholic beverages cause I know you were wondering), the reggae and soca music pumps loud and everyone begins to dance and enjoy themselves. There are some short but sweet speeches and acknowledgments for the many that attend who are survivors.

Registration is now open for Team ‪#‎DLIMERS2015‬ at Annual Komen Race for the Cure Saturday October 17 at D'Limers Team Page. From now until June 30, you can register for the DISCOUNTED rate of $20.00 - all you have to do is click the D'Limers Team Page and join our Team ‪#‎DLIMERS‬. Team Sponsor partner opportunities are available.  For more information on that you can email rsvp@hamiltonmillerlaw.com. Don't forget, this is the same email address to send your registered names and sizes to get your D'Limers tee. Hope to see you there!

REGISTRATION OPEN FOR D-JUNCTION MAS!

While backline is open to all, today is the LAST day for masqueraders who have played in the band last year to choose and register themselves in any Frontline or Midline costume.  Starting tomorrow it will be a free for all.  Please keep in mind that D-JUNCTION Mas has been accepting paper registrations since the night of the band launch and I know for a FACT that "The Savage Beast" has had limited spaces available in both Frontline and Midline since Sunday (the day after the launch).  You now have the option to register online through email and payments are being accepted via PayPal. Should you need a refresher of costume names or what they look like, you can visit the D-JUNCTION MAS 2014 Costumes for Miami-Broward One Carnival 2014 Album on their Facebook Page.  Some of the costumes are missing from the album. I am not exactly sure why they are missing but either 'still uploading' or 'sold old' comes to mind.

Once you've decided which animal you'd like to unleash, feel free to download the registration form by clicking HERE and follow the instructions on the form.  For those without a Facebook account, costume photos (of what's left) will be added to the website soon.

WOW! 

This was in my inbox the other night and I just thought that it was odd because: 

1. I have never ONE day played in the carnival band Spice
2. I am only on Spice's mailing list to be updated on their current events
3. The band is rumored to be 'SOLD OUT', so why this desperate attempt to gain registrations?

I'm just saying.  
For those of you who ARE playing is Spice, take advantage, if the Hilton is your intended stay or works out better for you financially.  I, however, am kind of disgusted this year and am still on the fence on even GOING, yes, DCARNIVALBABY may not be even GOING to Trinidad for carnival 2011! Even WITH the return of the stage.  There are just some things I have to put my foot down on, like no intriguing costumes or having played in EVERYTHING already.  *sighs*
