T’ingz Nice started in 2014 in the form of written expression before anything else. Here you will find “ancient” pieces from my neo years as a Caribbean carnival junkie. In addition to carnival coverage, you may also stumble upon recipes and random recaps of non-carnival experiences.

If you’ve been following me on social media then you know that I’ve been in hibernation mode for quite some time. I work hard for my two pennies and have no desire to squander it away on events that aren’t worth my while. When promoters (especially those in the NYC area) start to present quality
