It's Official - No More Savannah

*Sob*. I must admit this is indeed a let down. Culture Minister Joan Yullie Williams FINALLY speaks on the matter, less than TWO MONTHS before the festivities. And she makes that decision. :S
For those that do not know, the subject on whether the Grand Stand would be used to house Carnival festivities prior to demolition has been under HOT debate. Now, this issue has been put to rest by a rather disappointing decision. In my humble opinion (besides countless others), it should have stayed one more year. That way, first time masqueraders such as myself can enjoy the privilege of jumping up across that stage. Oh well, you can't have everything...
Now another issue arises from this turn of events - what about Panorama? Will the Pan Trinbago president stick to his earth-shattering (albiet nonsensical) ultimatum (no Savannah, no Panorama)??? I, for one, hope the hell not!!!! I may not get to participate in Panorama. That's fine. But for goodness sake, at least let there BE ONE!! To rob us of Panorama is far worse than robbing us of the Savannah stage!! But let me not get ahead of myself, yes. All things in due time. Regardless of the outcome of the situation, all thanks and praise be to God. I know He has more pressing issues to deal with right now (lol), so I'll just be thankful for whatever He decides to bless me with. Ah done.
