peter tosh

this past saturday was a fun night. we had some friends over for a braii (grilling) and bonfire, then we went to a peter tosh memorial concert (peter tosh is a reggae artist who wrote a lot of bob marley's songs). the concert was held outside at the botanical gardens on the outskirts of town in a fairly small venue wheres tons of local reggae bands played their own original songs and covers.

when we arrived and walked through the gate, all you could see was an overwhelming amount of red, green, yellow, and black, flags and banners flying everywhere, more dreads than you've ever seen in one place, and people bouncing up and down all over the dance floor as the bands played. i was unsure of what to expect with this concert, but this was no where close to what i had pictured in my head....and it was awesome!

we were some of the few white people there and definitely didn't fit the stereotypical "rasta" look, but it didn't matter. everyone was super friendly and in good spirits. we all attempted to join in with the rasta ska dancing, which is essentially doing extreme high knees the entire time. needless to say, by the end of the night we were all exhausted and very sore the next day haha.

i'll need to try to get some pictures posted soon which will give you a better picture of the concert (it takes a long time to upload pictures here with the internet). but hopefully i'll get them up at some point this week

ps-krista, i wore my gypsy pants you got me from india....they were great for dancing :)
