Carnival 2010 Around the world
« on: February 15, 2010, 02:58:20 PM »
Carnival 2010

Once more, it is Carnival Season in many countries around the world with a Roman Catholic heritage. Celebrations and parades are put on just prior to the observance of Lent. Over the past few weeks parades and celebrations have taken place throughout Europe, the Caribbean and South America. An estimated 730,000 foreign tourists, many fleeing snowy winter conditions in Europe and the United States, traveled to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil for this year's celebrations. Collected here are a handful of images from some of the elaborate celebrations of this Carnival season. (39 photos total)

Sambadrome

When is Patrick building this thing? The temporary stage is the worst - at least last year - any improvement this year?

The design look nice on paper. But all I care about is the roof. Is it retractable. If it is not, then that is a waste of money.

CTV had a way to text in your band name to find out where it is.

They should put GPS on the trucks, so you can find out where your section is on google maps in real time.

Would they be allowed to play indoor sports in there. For instance an NBA pre-season between Cleveland and LA would be super. That would certainly sell out.

You could still jump up when music play.

Dingolay ay, ay, ay..."

RIP Shadow....The legend will live on in music...
