The Junkanoo parade in Nassau, Bahamas on December 26 and January 1 starts around 2 AM EST. Bahamas tv station ZNS streams it live on Youtube, but you could watch it later. I was there in 1998, my favorite Christmas ever. Here's a clip from Boxing Day last year.

“Somni” is the biggest, most ambitious project we have undertaken in 21 years as a band. It involved 74 musicians, 256 lines, 12 cameras, almost 1,000 live audience members, and a whole lot of love and care from everyone involved.

Sandwich guy not guilty. On the one hand it was a 12 incher, more dangerous than the six. On the other, the victim was wearing a sub-proof vest. I've heard that a good prosecutor can convince a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich, but I guess a guilty verdict is more difficult in DC.
