\"AFROPUNK<\/a><\/p>\n

AfroPunk London 2016 was kicking. I, however, had Afro Shame and I don’t mean my crazy hair this time.<\/p>\n

Here is the short version.<\/p>\n

The Count Down<\/h3>\n

Two months<\/strong> to go \u00a0AfroPunk tickets bought. Scandalous price! Credit card heavy -er!<\/p>\n

Two weeks<\/strong> to go we’re all in a flutter because the tickets have not arrived. Phone calls and cussing.<\/p>\n

Five Days To Go<\/strong><\/p>\n

Five days before the Fest, the tickets arrive. I’m advertising the Fest on the radio. “It’s the Oracle, catch me at AfroPunk.”<\/p>\n

\"AFROPUNK<\/a><\/p>\n

Thursday<\/strong> before the Fest, tickets on the shelf, looking at me, grinning, evilly!<\/p>\n

The last broadcast before the Fest, “See you at the Fest on Saturday, I’m embracing the breeze of change. \u00a0See you there”. \u00a0With my big ole grin!<\/p>\n

Friday<\/strong> before the Fest, preparing clothes to be the ultimate in cool and Boho. Caught up with friends had a great meal out. As Windies (West Indians) say, skinning teet! So there was much laughter and joviality.<\/p>\n

\"AFROPUNK<\/a><\/p>\n

Saturday AFROPUNK<\/h3>\n

Ticket in hand as I clutch my stomach with great spasms of pain from food poisoning.<\/p>\n
