San Francisco Carnaval 2005!

Ahh, Carnaval. This is two for me this year. First it was with Mangueira in Rio, now with Sambao Para o Povo in San Francisco last sunday.

I had attended last year, but only as support. This year Mrs. Splice and I paraded with Sambao, and got to dance and drum in front of over 100,000 people in the Mission District of San Francisco. It was great, we got on the air, made people move, played to more folks at the NBA stage at 3pm, and...went home and slept. Parading is Tiring!!! But the music was great, and the costumes, as you can see, were mahvelous. (Thanks to Ms. CY for her smile.)
