The gold medal winning, world record breaking run of Usain Bolt in the 200 meters men at the Bird’s Nest Stadium in Beijing, China (19.30 seconds) further strengthened by the Olympic record breaking run of Melanie Walker in the 400 meters hurdles final (54.62), sparked off wild celebrations starting in Usain’s hometown of Sherwood Content, near Falmouth in Trelawny. There was a massive motorcade and partying throughout the day and night.
Productivity was at its lowest in history as almost everyone took to the streets in wild celebrations that end with a street dance in Sherwood. i was too tired to make it to Sherwood in the night but here are some photos taken during the day,

Some of Jamaica’s leading female reggae dancehall artistes were on show at Dancehall Divas in Concert at Club Nazz in Falmouth, Jamaica. The lin-up included Diva, Miss Thing, Sasha, Spice, D’Angel and the Queen of Dancehall herself, the prolific hit machine Marion Hall, aka Lady Saw. Noticeably absent were Patra, Lady G and current heavyweight Macka Diamond. It was a girl’s show promoted by female for females. As such, the predominantly female audience had a ball listening to the mainly vulgar, sexual lyrics, riddled with expletives. much to the delight of the crowd. They were no different from the men in terms of their vulgarity, often times clutching their genitalia while performing. All artistes put in great performances but as is the norm, Lady Saw was the creme de la creme. D’Angel (and Sasha to a lesser extent) must be commended for keeping it clean.
Here is a full photo set of the event:

I have created an “Events” page to hold all my photosets of events that I cover, utilizing the Photo Gallery feature of WordPress 2.5.
The first event is an all-inclusive party I attended last night in Runaway Bay, St. Ann promoted by Unleashed Entertainment of which my sister is a member. It was called “Reggae Luau” and as the name suggests, it was Hawaiian themed. It was a wild, wild party as the photos show. Visit the Events page here or view the Reggae Luau photos here.
