i want to Curse the NCF
I almost curse the Chairman of the National Cultural Foundation last week, fortunately I was able to bite my lip and contain my self hence I am still working with the NCF.
I was at the NCF media launch of crop over which was held on Friday last week at Accra Hotel and I was there in the audience as the coordinator of 2008 Cavalcades.
Chairman Ken Knight in his address spoke about how the non traditional media had been invited to the event in addition to the mainstream news outlets.
Then I realized that two web sites were in attendance calypsonians.com and Bajan fuh life.com.
And my question was like, so what happen to BoyceVoice.com? wha we ent nobody..?
I was planning to take the microphone during the question session and lambaste from CEO Vere back down to NCF workers Lorna and Karen Pestina. Then I realized that Bajan reporter.com was not there nor kadoment.com, and if Barbados Underground was there they were underground as I didn’t see them, So then I didn’t feel so bad.
It is good that NCF has at least started to recognize that we on the web are important enough to warrant an invitation to media events and we would expect that in the fullness in time more sites would be included, even the cursingly colorful Boyce Voice.
If during the reading of this blog there is any thing I might have written which might have incensed or offended you, GET OVER IT! There are many things I read and hear in the media on a daily basis that I don't like either. SO DEAL WITH IT! You are welcome to leave your comments though. Make sure and come back yuh hear !!!...
