Yesterday was the West Indian American Day Parade, and it was as festive as ever, especially with the gorgeous weather we had. Politicians were present - and who knew that Democratic gubernatorial candidate Tom Suozzi had lived in Trinidad and Tobago years ago? Newsday reports he sang "Tiney Winey." But most of all, it was the parade marchers, dancers, and perfomers and all the spectators that made the event exciting. The parade was so moving that one tourist from North Carolina told the Daily News, "I love it. Now I want to move here. I love the vibe that is here."
If you didn't make it, there are a couple sets of photographs from the parade on Flickr, and they show the explosion of color, costumes, and celebration. Check out ones by Stacey Joy Elkin, andy lachance, and ultraclay!.

Thank you to the West Indians for intelligently keeping this parade in a neighbrhood where they live rather than on 5th Ave in Manhattan like the Puerto Ricans and others.
The PR's could learn a lession from this instead of going to 5th Ave to act like animals becayuse they want to show white people who's boss.
Fabulous photos, costumes and colors! Thanks for the link.
is tucking dollar bills into their underpants allowed?.
